I truly enjoyed Wayward Guide. It had the perfect overall balance of quirky and mystery with the perfect amount of gore where it's not overly-gory, but gory enough that it adds a layer of depth to the plot.
The casting was very well done in my opinion. The cast includes actors you may have seen in other shows, such as Darren Criss and Sean Astin. On top of that, the cast is topped off with comedians suck as Mary Kate Wiles and theater actors such as Cassie Silva and other theater, specifically Starkid, actors such as Lauren Lopez, Joey Ritcher, Dylan Saunders, Corey Dorris, Nick Lang, among so many others.
I do admit, some of the acting and dialogue was a bit too much for me. I am big in the theater scene and enjoy the whimsy and extra-ness that comes with theater acting, but some of that extra-ness didn't translate as well to the screen as it does on the stage. With short episodes, there is not a lot of room to fit deep plots, and that caused some episodes and scenes to feel rushed. It felt they were trying too hard to come off as quirky.
However, the show is very engaging. Each episode ends on a cliffhanger, which keeps you engaged and wondering what comes next. It is my favorite show, and is definitely a must watch!
