Wayward reviews

Wayward holds a 6.2/10 average from 191 TMDB ratings.

Promoting sickness isn't cool. Punishing this show with low ratings for its wokness crap.
— Dean (1/10)

A beautifully ambiguous tale of queer identity, intergenerational trauma and the choices we have in defining family. Many characters have stayed with me – so powerfully performed by Mae Martin, Sarah Gadon and Toni Collette, but also many of the younger actors like Alyvia Alyn Lind!
— zora.ilex (9/10)

A small-town cop suspects that the local school for troubled teens — and its dangerously charismatic founder — may not be all it seems.
