The Wilds

I think most of the bad reviews are based on the first episode. Some say they didn't even watch until the end of the episode.

Give it a bit of time. It's not always about instant gratification. The episodes get better and the story develops at a nice pace.

I really liked this show, seems like most of the bad reviews didn't bother watching through to the end. Lots of unexpected twists and a cliff hanger that left me waiting for a season 2. The acting was a bit cheesy, but it's a YA series...what did you expect?

Considering there were reviews left here almost instantly after this series hit Amazon prime, there is no doubt that those reviewer's did not watch 10 hours/10 episodes before leaving their scathing reviews. If you can't bring yourself to watch an entire movie/series before giving your opinion, maybe you should just not say anything. I personally really enjoyed it. Is it the greatest series I've ever seen? Of course not but I still found it enjoyable and look forward to the next season.

UPDATE: Avoid season 2 at all cost.

This show deserves another season after that cliffhanger we got at the end of Season 2. The cast and characters deserve their closure/ending. Not to mention, The Wilds portrays more than a handful of varying representations across different groups such as the LGBTQ+ community, Indigenous people, the Black community, etc. It's clear as day that this show means a lot to the fans; all you have to do is look at Instagram and Twitter to see the dedication and hard work the fandom puts in to try to get the show renewed/picked up by another streaming service. Amazon Prime Video will forever be my #1 public enemy now. Give The Wilds one more season (one more chance)!

Yes this show has some unbelievable and silly aspects to it, but it's entertaining and every episode kept me wanting more. It's very bingeable!! The acting was quite good, season one is better than the second but I enjoyed both.
