Wayward

Toni Collette is at her spine-chilling best in this cultish thriller.

...isn’t highly original but it’s brilliantly played.

...has more on its mind than just rebellious teens. It also wrestles with generational trauma, longing for community, and cycles of abuse. Its ambition — with these branching themes and tangled cultural conversations — is admirable.

While it may not go down as one of the stronger cult stories sweeping television, “Wayward” has fewer problems than peculiarities. Just keep an open mind.

Toni Collette is utterly magnificent in this eerie thriller about teen runaways.

...doesn’t shy away from the ugliness at the center of its premise, tackling questions of conformism, generational trauma, and the difficulties of growing up.
