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.
Featured 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.

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.
Yes this show has some unbelievable and silly aspects to it, but it's entertaining and every episode kept me wanting more. It's very bingeable!! The acting was quite good, season one is better than the second but I enjoyed both.
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.
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?

- 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.
