Wayward Really Is Worth All The Hype
It’s been five months since Wayward premiered on Netflix and it still has some of us in a choke-hold.
Night of the Birth
When a reserved young man, already struggling with obsessive-compulsive disorder, signs up for an exclusive paid dating service, he never expects to be matched with someone like her—a fiercely independent woman whose face bears the permanent marks of a childhood fire. What begins as a transactional arrangement quickly becomes anything but simple. As the two navigate their uneasy partnership, the young man's OCD spirals into paralyzing anxiety, while the woman wrestles with her own insecurities about trust and self-worth. Forced to step far outside his comfort zone, he embarks on an emotional journey—not just to honor the agreement, but to prove to himself that he can face fear, imperfection, and the messy reality of human connection.
