Sad it only gets 10 episodes, thought it would be 13 :(
Just two words: awful ending...
Que final foi esse? trágico! Ethan fez o que fez e se ferrou ainda.
Waynard Pines ficou pior que antes.
The show wasn't cancelled, this mini-series resumes the book trilogy in one season only, so it was always planned to have one and only one season.
I definitely preferred earlier in the season the more dystopian horror and mystery-like feel (along with the answers we got). The transition from dystopian seemingly sci-fi to post-apocalyptic is not done in a very good way, but it's done well enough, and enough to keep me interested to see more. I like the kind of creatures which are kind of zombie like (and i love zombies) and being in the far future, and i can't wait to see more. I hope there is an evolution with their threat in the next season (or the season after that, since the next one looks to have reset everything basically), and the characters and factions are decent enough to want to continue following.
Though it was a huge mistake killing off their best character with Ethan Burke. It's a fatal blow i don't think the show will recover from, and i think it was a mistake to make his son in a coma for 3 years/have a 3 year time skip in the show, along with doing a FULL reset button on the events of the show and put it back to like how it was at the start, now with the kids having somehow taken over (even though most should have died in the last attack, and the adults outnumbered them and had the best weapons and technology), and put all the adults in suspended animation. Stupid. It's a hugely unnecesary reset on what's happened in the shows events. Doing that and killing off your best character downgrades the episode an entire point. It's not a good ending.
Now next season i imagine we'll have to watch and deal with a lot of annoying full of themselves zealous youngsters.
Ugh.
A lot can happen in three years my theory is the first generation who we all saw survived overpowered everybody they had the skills they had the wants and they did and I suspect that's what happened although I really do want to read the book because this is based on a trilogy so hopefully there's more explanation on the ending but in my opinion that's what I think happened
I don't understand why everybody is trashing the ending I think for such a dark and twisted story it had an equally dark and twisted ending
The best thing I can say about the show is that I've seen worse.
Ending was cool! Just have no interest in watching the son be the hero. Didnt like him. Matt Dillon shouldn't have died (via TVShow for WP)
It was pretty good up until that last scene with Ben waking up again... it didn't make any sense and ruined everything.
Needed a better ending, but a great show. Worth the watch.
Seriously, no next season with this ending? That's probably the most unsatisfying final ever, but it's still a great show. A second season would be very welcome!
Great finale -- until the last two minutes totally crapped the bed.
a crappy ending. 10 episodes in the garbage. Meaningless ending. Shame on them. (via TVShow for WP)
Dreadful finale. The last 5 minutes made all the events of the show meaningless.
You can't take my feelings and destroy them like that. This had better get a second season! Also, to thegeerson: the show hasn't been cancelled...
Cancelled? That sucks, was a pretty good show. :-(
Unfortunately they messed up at the very ending. I know the message it passes, that we won't be able to ever live in perfect harmony and stuff, but please, THE SHOW GOT CANCELLED, just give it a proper and satisfying ending to make it al least not forgetable in 3 years.

so a bunch of little kids manage to overpowered all the adults? is that what the big last idea is? without even showing how was that possible? lol... yet another fucking good show that i shouldn't have seen.
