* AmbiguousEnding: [[spoiler: Even after all their hard work and success, the twins aren't guaranteed another season on ''Wayward Guide.'' However, Paul hopes to do a follow-up in Connor Creek and Artemis pitches some ideas with a supernatural bent to Paul, [[SequelHook opening the door]] [[AndTheAdventureContinues for future adventures]].]]

The series premiered on October 13, 2020, running for 10 episodes, with an accompanying [[{{Podcast}} podcast]] of the InUniverse show Artemis and Paul create for APN based on the events of the series.

The series premiered on October 13, 2020, running for 10 episodes, with an accompanying [[{{Podcast}} podcast]] of the InUniverse show Artemis and Paul create for APN based on the events of the series. Tropes that apply to the podcast are assumed to apply here as well.

Twin podcasting team Artemis and Paul Schue-Horyn, trying to prove themselves as hosts at the American Podcasting Network, follow a corporate corruption story pitched to them by Ryan Reynolds ([[NotThisOneThatOne not ''that'']] Creator/RyanReynolds) to the small California mining town of Connor Creek. There they find a cast of eccentric townsfolk, divided by the upcoming town council elections and the presence of a big mining corporation attempting to take over the town's silver. But as town folks begin dropping like flies, the twins come across something stranger than a corruption scandal:

* ProfoundByPopSong: Rev. Jeremiah Stillwater, the ineffective PreacherMan of a small mining town, tends to quote lyrics [[AsTheGoodBookSays rather than the actual Bible]] when trying to sound profound. Whether he is doing this on purpose is unclear.
--> '''Jeremiah:''' ''(reading from Bible, as the town council meeting descends into chaos)'' "[[Music/{{Coolio}} As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,[...] I take a look at my life and realize there's nothing left]]." ''(flipping through Bible)'' That's all of this sermon that I memorized.

-->'''Henry:''' It's like I'm always telling you, Desmond. Rule of threes, baby! ''[laughs]'' Rule of threes! It all comes in threes. Deaths, [[Literature/TheThreeLittlePigs tiny pigs]], and uh... comedy bits.

* RuleOfThree: Discussed by Dr. Henry in Episode 5.

** Also refers to:
*** Three people in the Irons family [[spoiler: who all die at the same time.]]
*** [[spoiler: Three anti-mining deaths - Ryan, Prism, and Odie.]]
*** [[spoiler: Three pro-mining deaths, outside the Irons family - Barney, Silas, and Truman.]]
*** In Episode 7, [[spoiler: Truman proposes three actions: Institute the curfew, organize a task force, and put Madison in charge of said task force. In addition, three werewolves reveal themselves to Artemis and Paul.]]
*** In Episode 9, [[spoiler: it takes Artemis three tries to finally convince Madison to take the shot.]]

* MistakenForIncest: A RunningGag sees fraternal twins [[BrotherAndSisterTeam Artemis and Paul]] mistaken for a married couple by the Connor Creek townsfolk. When they correct them, saying they're siblings, the townsfolk are disgusted.

* MythologyGag:
** Crispin Lynch's costume is a reference to the Tanner character from the ''Ultimate Werewolf'' game the show is based on.

** Barney Fletcher is TheBarnum, and owns what he believes is [[Series/{{Barney}} a dinosaur egg]].

** ''Barney'' Fletcher is ''TheBarnum.''

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: While this isn't abnormal in a cast of LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters, considering the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue it's surprising that Sybillus and Helen aren't mentioned or heard from again after Episode 7. To a lesser extent, this also applies to Crispin, Wallis, and Garmin (though they had smaller roles to begin with).

-->'''Henry:''' It's like I'm always telling you, Desmond. Rule of threes, baby! ''[laughs]'' Rule of threes! It all comes in threes. Deaths, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking tiny pigs]], and uh... comedy bits.

* NotSoDifferentRemark: [[spoiler: Madison gets this verbatim from Desmond after the werewolf reveal, telling her that other than his "genetic abnormality," he's not so different from her. Considering they are both dedicated to protecting Connor Creek, he's not wrong.]]
