Summary

Reviewers say 'The Wilds' is lauded for its diverse cast, intricate character dynamics, and exploration of survival, trauma, and societal expectations. The unique premise of stranded teenage girls and their unfolding backstories garners appreciation. However, some criticize the slow pacing, uneven writing, and underdeveloped characters. The survival elements are seen as unrealistic, and plot inconsistencies are noted. Despite these flaws, many highlight the show's growth potential and its engaging, thought-provoking narrative.

Don't judge with just one episode.

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.

Left me wanting more

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?

Please don't listen to the bad reviews

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.

Geez people are so hard to please

Why did I like this show? Was it the best show ever? No... But it was good. It was fun to watch and it kept me intrigued. The bad reviews written 24 hours after the show came out... (are you serious?) they probably watched one episode and then stopped to complain. IMDB users are so hard to please these days. A show produced by Amazon is never a 1/10 get your head out of your booty. :)

Genuinely liked it and binged in one day

I genuinely liked the show and binged it in one day. It is a needed distraction! It was a blend of Lost and the 100; both of which I liked. If you don't like YA dystopian/survival shows or books, it may not be for you.

Trivia
Mia Healey, who plays Shelby Goodkind, is originally from Australia. After receiving a callback, she believed in the character so much that she flew to LA to read in person.

Goofs
Gretchen and her staff make several mentions of liability issues and the need to avoid a lawsuit. Their entire operation; stranding a group of underage people alone on an island, must have had their parents consent, if not the experiment would be so illegal as to render any liability issue moot.
