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!

This is a good show. Is it the height of television? No. Is it compelling? Yes. It's had me hooked since episode one. A mostly teenage cast that delivers convincing performances. I haven't once felt any lack from this show. A lot of bad reviews, i think mostly because people are getting tired of teen ensemble dramas. But this is dark and shocking and much more than those reviews led me to believe. It's not riverdale at all (at all). Not lost either really, although definitely reminiscent. I've watched both of those shows in full, one with regret lol. Give it a try. Heck, it's got juliette lewis. Cape fear anyone?

I was looking for a new show to binge and since Yellowjackets has gotten nothing but great reviews from both critics and audience alike I chose this. I'm glad I did because it is something both original and entertaining. I know a lot of people are comparing this to Lord of the Flies and I can definitely see that comparison, it has that kind of feel to the show but also something original. It's an intense mystery thriller that will keep you guessing and wanting more throughout the series. You end up becoming so invested in it that you can't wait to see what happens next and you'll want to binge it as quickly as possible. The entire cast is great here but Melanie Lynskey and Christina Ricci are the real standouts here. Both were just nominated for an Emmy, as was the show itself for best drama. It also currently has a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes. That's how good this is, it's being nominated for every major award their is. I was really looking forward to Season 2 because there are still a lot of unanswered questions that need to be answered but for every answer they provide, there are more questions. Season 2 just ended and there's still way too many unanswered questions.

It's been a really long time since I've felt this strongly about a show, especially after only watching the pilot episode.

I am so anxious and curious to find out what's gonna happen next to these girls/women. I'm a huge fan of movies where people get stranded somewhere and must fight to survive (Frozen, The Canyon, Alive, Open Water).

I don't normally like shows with a ton of flashbacks but I know with Yellowjackets it's necessary to tell the story. I want to know EVERY detail of what went on after the plane crash in the wilderness.

I'm super intrigued and excited by this delightful new show and it sucks that I have to wait a week to see the next episode.

It seems I'm not the only one disappointed in season 2. Season 1 was great. You were left with questions at the end of the season but still received some answers as well. However, season 2 just got out of hand super quickly. More and more questions arose and no previous questions got answered. The season just kept rolling like this causing a loss of character development and decent plot line. I understand the mystery is 'what's going on'? Is there a supernatural element or are we dealing with insanity due to circumstance? That's fine but you need to build up the story and develop the characters. To me, this all just got dropped in season 2. I have to chalk it up to terrible writing. It's so disappointing since season 1 was great. I hope a bounce back can be made in season 3, although I think the show has already lost quite a few viewers due to the season 2 bust.
