Yellowjackets

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
