Did Tai Do That?

I've had it with this show! There has to be at least one likable character in a series to keep the audience interested. This show is a miracle because no one is likable; not their teenage versions or adult versions. What these 'high school' girls (all played by 28-30 year old actresses) did to coach was unconscionable and unbelievable. The whole 'trial' was a joke. This series has become unbearable and it's really too bad because the first season was great and the second season had me looking forward to a third season. This third season has me questioning the writing and wondering what went wrong.

The show started really great in the first season, but the present timeline slowly descends into a slapstick territory with sloppy writing that just lets me roll my eyes.

Almost all scenes with Elijah Wood are campy and ruin the mystery vibe that this show could develop.

This "citizen detective" storyline is so bad; and this episode where they dress up as cable guys are a new climax in stupidity. Does anybody thing this would ever work in reality? People freely roaming around in someone else's flat, not blowing their cover by picking on themselves all the time? This is just ridiculous.

I hope somebody does a fan edit with just the teenagers in the wilderness storyline. It has developed some pitfalls too, due to the unlikable character development and somehow unlogical decisions, but at least it's not outright silly.

I've generally enjoyed Yellowjackets since the beginning, but I don't think I've ever disliked the young versions of the characters as much as I do in this episode. Young Shauna may have endured trauma, but she a truly nasty, cold hearted piece of work as the young version and I can't associate her with the older Shauna at all. Melanie Lynskey does not portray the coldness of the younger version at all. They are like two different characters and people don't change that much!! As for the rest of the young characters, they have generally become quite unlikeable too. Young Natalie has become more like the rest of them and young Misty is the only one showing any humanity aside from coach Ben. Às for Travis, he's just become so pathetic it's embarrassing.

For reference, I'm a female in my 50s, not that it really matters because stories rely on truth and faithfulness to their characters. In the last two episodes especially, it's clear that has been left behind.

Up until this point, I could bridge the past character to their current day character easily but that's all been thrown out the window. I don't know if it's because people involved in steering the show are more concerned with personal needs they are trying to communicate to the audience or maybe they don't realize that they have strayed from their characters but I sincerely hope they can find their way back to the heart of these characters that are left.

A twisted futile episode with fillers, mumbo jumbo shroom "witchcraft" and more fillers, just in-between you'll see twisted, low, sick human nature. Very bad impact on young people who are watching this.

I'm beginning to question the purpose of the show, it's like a very light version of 'Cannibal Ferox' with no aim and purpose. Only that was a cannibal movie and made as such, this one is supposed to be about surviving, not twisted sadistic behaviors. All the teens deserve to be thrown to sharks. They're all guilty in various degrees.
