Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 61736, member: 636"] Netflix debuts thriller series Wayward on September 25. Creator Mae Martin drew inspiration from a childhood friend who attended a troubled teen facility for two years before escaping. The friend's experiences at the institute sparked Martin's interest in rehabilitation programs for adolescents. Martin developed the concept over six years after hearing disturbing accounts. The series centers on best friends Abbie and Leila who attend Tall Pines Academy. Toni Collette portrays the academy's spiritual yet controlling director who uses unconventional methods. Mae Martin plays police officer Alex who investigates the institution with his pregnant wife. The storyline explores toxic family dynamics and trauma between generations. [/QUOTE]
