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
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.
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.
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 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?
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.

- 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.
