Wayward is the latest creative endeavour from comedian, actor and writer Mae Martin, who brought us the successful comedy-drama series Feel Good.
In a new twist, Martin takes on the role of a police officer who relocates to an idyllic small town, only to unearth some sinister secrets hidden within the local reform school for troubled teenagers.
Drawing from Martin's personal experiences as a 'wayward' teenager, this compelling series aims to expose one of America's most contentious industries when two young girls are taken into the Tall Pines School, overseen by a mysterious leader with unorthodox methods.
The eight-part limited series is quickly becoming one of Netflix's unexpected successes of the year, already garnering positive reviews and an impressive 89 percent score on Rotten To
