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.

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. :)
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.

It really is. I mean of course it has its flaws but it's an amazingly entertaining series with both drama and comedy and a great cast of newcomers. Also, representation matters and this show has tons of it, it's so refreshing. Really wish I had had a show like this while being a teenager, it's a real shame it has been canceled, I really hope it will get picked up. Really worth the watch in any case.
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?
I am upset as another wonderful series gets the ax. I wish shows that have high ratings and dedicated viewers continue to be dropped.
The streaming services NEVER explain why. And again, a cliff hanger, to boot! Prime, not happy with you!!!!

- TriviaMia 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.
- GoofsGretchen 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.
