Featured reviews
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?
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.
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.

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!

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!
