Yellowjackets

This little thing was recommended to me by my son. I am not the biggest of horror fans or teenage stuff. But this is not that.

This is a VERY well told story and has superior acting first by Lynskey and Lewis and Ricci, and the rest are doing great. Beautifully filmed as well.

Go beyond the pilot and get ready for some quality storytelling!

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.

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 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?
