Yellowjackets

This show WAS great. But now in season 3 the writing has just gotten so bad that nothing even makes much sense anymore. It's just all over the place now. They just keep adding more and more new mysteries without ever finishing the previous ones! They just seem to phase each mystery out with a new one. And it's gotten to the point that not a single character is even likeable anymore, except maybe Misty. Shauna is so unhinged it's not even realistic. I didn't think i could hate her character any more, but she manages to get worse in every episode, both young & grown versions. I'm losing interest due to their inability to ever actually finish a mystery and because nobodies actions ever make sense anymore!

Season 1 was really good, but starting with Season 2, it isn't the same TV show anymore. It's the kind of show that invents a lot of nonsensical bull... just to extend its run. In the end, I'm 100% sure that viewers will have more questions than answers. The current timeline is overloaded with events yet lacks proper character development-you can fast-forward through more than half of that portion of the show. When Season 3 began, I decided to give it a try, but I eventually gave up. The clichés had already started, which means it won't be the final season; it will just drag on unnecessarily as they keep inventing whatever nonsense-like dreams, etc.-just to fill a 50-minute episode.

This is not exactly an easy show to review which might be part of the problem. Trying to compare it to other shows would be a mistake. It is alot like "Lord of The Flies" and "Alive" but with teenage girls. However that is just a simple explanation. Basically a successful girls soccer team crash lands in the remote wilderness and are forced to learn how to survive. 25 years later the trauma the survivors face is still haunting them. Part survival epic, part psychological horror and part coming-of-age drama. Its about not dealing with your past and what happens years later when it comes back to haunt you.

God I adored this show. First season is spectacular, a marvel, some of the best TV i have ever seen.

Season 2 started going slightly of the rails but the introduction of new/old characters and general investment in the characters made me keep going.

Season 3 guess way, way over the top. Absolutely nothing is even remotely realistic anymore, from the younglings insanely intricate survival costumes, their story advanced camp, the character development. And it all falls completely apart in the last couple of episodes. I feel nothing at all now, writing this as i am shaking my head, bored from the season finale. Im sorry to say but you must either be a little light in the mental departement of you still enjoy this as much as when it started, or, you care absolutely nothing at all about story and development but your just greatly invested in the characters.

Personally i am definitely not coming back for season 4.

This little thing was recommended to me by my son. I am not the biggest of horror fans or teenage stuff. But this is not that.

This is a VERY well told story and has superior acting first by Lynskey and Lewis and Ricci, and the rest are doing great. Beautifully filmed as well.

Go beyond the pilot and get ready for some quality storytelling!
