Essentially the show takes place some ~2000 years from today, where we has humans destroyed the environment. One man saw this happening and built an enclosure for the remaining humans.
Outside of the enclosure there are these beast that go around and eat people (think a cross between a werewolf and a vampire).
How they add people to the population is they use cryogenic freezers to keep people alive, but asleep. And as they need a doctor or an IT person or an army person they defrost them.
It's an oddly stupid show. I watched last nights episode and decided I won't be watching it again.
Did you see Season 1? Go back and watch it and just be good with a contained series in one season. That's how I felt about Heroes...season 1 was great and good by itself.

I watched the first season and loved it. Less than impressed by the second season.
I'm gonna trust that the writers have something up their sleeves but Season 2 has been very awkward to say the least, especially with key characters dying with no resonance.

I had similar experience with Revolution.
The lead in sounded interesting and I have always loved the post apocalyptic genre in general.
There was weird science (how does a generator just kick on after 15 years because the thing suppressing electricity switched off?) that jarred me out of my suspension of disbelief, and then once they revealed the cause, I was completely turned off because of the complete lack of science. The scene in the last episode of Season 1 with things lighting up, was just so completely stupid it hurt.
The actors were decent. The writing, outside of the science, was not horrible for the genre. But damnit, if you are going to write a post apocalyptic series with technological causes suppressing electricity, you should get the damn basic physics of electricity right.

Remind me to binge it on Netflix at some point? I had not heard of it.

Overall, Wayward Pines is worth a watch for its first season. It is very mysterious if you don't get spoiled...but once the "reveal" is out, it is more or less over...

that is because I mentioned Person's of interest right before mentioning there were 4 seasons.
Correct, there are only 2 seasons of The 100 on Netflix, I think Season 3 just wrapped on TV.

@garak0410 I've not watched the TV show, but I've read the books and they're really good.

Season 1 does the books justice while adding some things to it...Season 1 is worth a look. Blake is involved in Season 2 as a creative consultant, so it is still his baby of sorts but so far..."eh"...
