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?

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.

I finally gave in and gave Yellowjackets a try after hearing so many great things about it. I actually liked it much more than I thought I would, to the point where I'm actually mad at myself for putting it off as long as I did. All the twists and turns will keep on the edge of your seat every episode to the point it becomes addicting. It has everything you want in a good show...drama, mystery, comedy, action, etc. There's not a bad episode in the series, there's so slow episodes but not bad episodes. The acting is what really carries the show though. Melanie Lynskey deserves every bit of praise that she's been getting for her role. She's so good that it's the type of performance that's going to lead to even bigger things for her.

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.
