Wayward
We think you'll be very happy here.
Created by Mae Martin
On Netflix
A tense psychological thriller about institutional manipulation and hidden danger, built on paranoia and the unreliability of perception within a closed, cult-like community.
A small-town cop suspects that the local school for troubled teens — and its dangerously charismatic founder — may not be all it seems.
