I was looking for a new show to binge and since Yellowjackets has gotten nothing but great reviews from both critics and audience alike I chose this. I'm glad I did because it is something both original and entertaining. I know a lot of people are comparing this to Lord of the Flies and I can definitely see that comparison, it has that kind of feel to the show but also something original. It's an intense mystery thriller that will keep you guessing and wanting more throughout the series. You end up becoming so invested in it that you can't wait to see what happens next and you'll want to binge it as quickly as possible. The entire cast is great here but Melanie Lynskey and Christina Ricci are the real standouts here. Both were just nominated for an Emmy, as was the show itself for best drama. It also currently has a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes. That's how good this is, it's being nominated for every major award their is. I was really looking forward to Season 2 because there are still a lot of unanswered questions that need to be answered but for every answer they provide, there are more questions. Season 2 just ended and there's still way too many unanswered questions.

Glad I gave this a chance

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.
Trauma
Nightmarelogic17 January 2022
This is not exactly an easy show to review which might be part of the problem. Trying to compare it to other shows would be a mistake. It is alot like "Lord of The Flies" and "Alive" but with teenage girls. However that is just a simple explanation. Basically a successful girls soccer team crash lands in the remote wilderness and are forced to learn how to survive. 25 years later the trauma the survivors face is still haunting them. Part survival epic, part psychological horror and part coming-of-age drama. Its about not dealing with your past and what happens years later when it comes back to haunt you.
Old tropes but unique blend
elliest_52 April 2023
Yellowjackets is a very trope-y show: the teen drama,the survival/"Robinsonade", the cabin in the woods, the Blair Witch, the creepy child... Everything very familiar, sometimes even to the point where you wonder if they seriously went there in the most cliché way possible or if they're being slightly ironic about it.
The tone is also very varied: from dark comedy to very heavy drama and everything in between, with ample genre mixing (horror, supernatural, realism, coming-of-age, psychological drama).
AND YET, somehow everything falls into place in a unique blend of characteristics, none of which feels out of place. What it does most successfully (possibly better than any other similar show), is the deep study of complex decades-long trauma. I love how the intense trauma experienced by the teenage characters is so finely woven into the present day (25 years later) psyche of their adult versions.
There's some superb acting by both generations of actors and the technical and artistic aspects are all to a high standard.
My only wish, as I'm writing this at the beginning of Season 2 is that it doesn't go the way of LOST, with mysteries piling up without answers and a sense of making it up as they go along. I do however trust that the creators submitted a 5-season arc before production begun, which they'll hopefully stick to (and surely they must have studied LOST as a case study of "how NOT to develop a multi-season horror/mystery/supernatural/survival show"). So here's hoping.

xmyboybuildscoffinsx13 January 2022
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?
Lynskey & Lewis & Ricci!
pwinding21 January 2022
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!

Good slow burn cross genre
markwha3 April 2023
I'm writing this review 6 episodes into the first season and so far I'm pretty happy with the show overall. Reading though some of the reviews I'm seeing a lot of repeat criticisms - while they're certainly valid, I find a lot of the lower scores are either too harsh or simply exaggerated. If you're considering giving this a watch and you like a cross genre type of show with a bit of sci-fi, horror and mystery, this is definitely worth checking out.
There are a lot of complaints that it's slow moving and as the title states, this is definitely a slow burn (sometimes maybe a little too slow) but my main problem here is the way they're bouncing back and forth between the two storylines. The show simultaneously tells two stories involving the same characters both in present day and in the 90's when they were a high school soccer team. The constant and sometimes poorly timed jumps back and forth definitely get on my nerves more than I'd like. It also creates a little bit of confusion at times so with these two elements combined it represents the shows biggest and only significant drawback, for myself at least.
With that said, there's a little something here for everyone and that's what I'm currently enjoying most about the show. There's a strong mystery element, some elements of suspense, horror, gore and even a little bit of suggestion of the supernatural. While that's all great, there's also some teenage drama which certainly won't be for everybody but I will say that it's done in a very minimal and palatable way that still is effective in playing out the story. So don't let that deter you!
The acting is very very good and while I found that Melanie Lynskey may have been miscast at first, she's really settled into the role and I'm thoroughly happy with the performances of all the cast. Now with this being the 2020's of course identity politics play a role in the writing and casting. As you might assume, the cast is perfectly diverse and comes complete with a black lesbian woman who is strong and in a traditionally male role running for office in the current day. Despite all this, this doesn't fall into the category of Woke Culture Slog like so many other shows have recently. Nothing much feels forced or unfitting so far in the script as far as I can see.
So while there are a couple minor flaws and we don't have the next Lost, x-files, or Fringe we do have a great cross genre show that does a good job of combining drama, mystery, sci-fi and horror that's well worth checking out for a pretty broad audience with a little something for everyone. 8/10 would absolutely recommend.

Duped
thebeez5310 July 2023
I was totally on board with the first season. Besides Dexter and Homeland, I don't think there has been a show where I've looked so forward to a new season. However, there is a trend in television now that I abhor. Can you say "dangling the carrot?" I get it. Writers/Directors/Producers all want to keep their jobs. But at what cost? I'm truly tired of this trend. I just finished Season 2 and I don't know much more than I did at the end of Season 1. Yellowstone and all its baggage: HUGE offender is this way. But back to Yellowjackets. There are some great actors playing the teen version of the characters; some quite compelling. Case in point, the actress playing the teen version of Natalie. Anyway, I really can't say if I will watch Season 3. And with the writers' strike, who knows when that will be? At that point, I may forget everything I've watched. Might not be a bad thing.
Season 1: 7/10. Season 2: 2/10. New overall series rating: 4/10
Top_Dawg_Critic27 May 2023
I was so intrigued and became very interested in this show throughout season 1, as it was a great premise and told well enough between two timelines in every episode - which is hard to do, but they pulled it off. So I was 10 episodes invested in this show, and waited all this time with great anticipation for season 2, which as I just finished the season finale, ended up being the biggest joke of any series I have ever seen. The entire 9 episodes (I guess they couldn't find enough rubber bands to stretch this season's writing to a nice even 10 episodes, so what does that alone tell you) were maybe a total of a 90-100 min movie narrative with something of substance, albeit a terrible movie at that. So now imagine adding in enough useless filler riddled with plot holes and convoluted writing to stretch it to a max 9 episodes. It became painful. "It" became too painful to watch and listen to all the nonsense. A fifth grade drama class could've come up with a better season 2. I'm done with this show and Showtime, for wasting my time.
I'm digging this so far.
benzed22 November 2021
First 2 episodes. Great Great cast, performances, storyline...
I assume this is looking for an under 35 demographic . Perhaps not. I'm a young 64 yo. I'm jaded when it comes to entertainment almost to the point that I lose interest. I'm still watching TWD even though I cannot stand anything about it lately.
Keeping Showtime till season finale.
Loved tonight's episode more than the first and they would have to work hard at screwing this up given how engaging the intro is.
Fun.

mid season lags
PatriceLeGraisseux29 December 2021
It's an exciting show. Entirely unique and fresh with just the right amount of nostalgia but 7 episodes in there's a lot that HASN'T happened and this is unforgivable for a weekly show that thrives on mystery in two separate timelines. I've my hopes on it and I'm hoping for a second season but they'll need to step up the game.
Fantastically Written
laurynl15 October 2022
This series was just insane! I really hate when people call something "slow" simply because it's lacking action. Yeah, if all you want is action, then you'll probably not like the beginning of the series. Personally, I like to watch things that have intelligence to them. I find blasting nonstop action to be "boring," so I guess I'm the opposite. Yellowjackets is HARDLY slow, though. I was engaged the entire time and I absolutely could not stop watching. The show is a psychological thriller, so it's supposed to keep you thinking, which the writers never fail to do. I can't wait for the second season!
Season 2 Drop-off
Supervix7731 May 2023
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.
Off to a great start! Love the premiere episode!

Lots of promise with no delivery
tffkghm10 January 2022
Pretty great acting and a really interesting and mysterious premise that would have made a fantastic mini-series. Instead the story has been stretched to a possible 5 season long arc of probable cliff hangers and quality drops were the mysteries keep coming and the answers are far and few between as this season has showed us.
I honestly hope time proves me wrong and the whole thing ends well but this start has given me shaky faith to say the least.
Props to both the '96 and '21 actors though, they nailed it.

Drags... Episode 10 should have been like episode 3 or 4
animegamer42016 January 2022
This series has a fantastic pilot, but the rest of the series is filler. If they had consolidated all the subplots from episodes 4~9 and had the finale be the halfway point it would fix the glacial pacing and repetitious foreshadowing. This is one of those show seasons that feels like its just setup for the next season.
This is actually pretty good. Surprised but enjoyed it
barrett-0309523 August 2022
So, we were searching for a new show to watch and knew basically nothing about this series. As it turns out, it's pretty well written and has an intriguing story and good acting. We have completed almost all of season 1 and now are eagerly waiting for season 2. A good mix of intrigue and mystery and drama with good acting, this is a thumbs up/watch in my humble opinion.
Dark fascinating story
k_olya_22 October 2023
A group of teenagers in extreme survival situation. How far are they ready to go to stay alive? Is there a supernatural force taking control over them, or is it all in their heads? How do they handle the trauma after being rescued?
The story is really thrilling and at times blood-freezing. I like that the characters are complex and far from being angels. Most of the actors do amazing job. Melanie Lynskey and Christina Ricci add so much charisma to their characters. As for the younger cast, I see big potential in Sophie Thather and Ella Purnell and would love to see them in different projects.
I liked season 1 better than season 2, because in the latter some plot lines are abandoned and some are not so interesting or unnecessary. Nevertheless, my general impression is still very good and I'm looking forward to next season.

This series isn't perfect but I still loved it
kevin_robbins3 September 2022
Yellowjackets (2021) is a series that I started when it first began and just recently finished. It's available on the Showtime App and Peacock. The storyline follows a high school girl's soccer team whose plane crashes in the wilderness. The series depicts both how they survived in the forest and how those events impacted their lives as adults.
This series was cocreated by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, who also worked together on Narcos, and stars Juliette Lewis (Natural Born Killers), Christina Ricci (Black Snake Moan), Melanie Lynskey (Don't Look Up), Sophie Thatcher (The Book of Bobba Fett), Kevin Alves (Locke & Key) and Tawny Cypress (Brooklyn's Finest).
The storyline for this is written very well in how it mixes previous and current events. The characters and circumstances are unique, fascinating and unveiled to the audience at the appropriate pace. The flashback scenes in the woods are outstanding. There's times you find yourself thinking get back to that storyline. The present day storyline gets better as the film unfolds. Christina kills this performance and is very good as her character. You can say the same about Juliette Lewis and Melanie Lynskey (who was also great in Castle Rock). The chemistry and dynamics between characters is very well delivered. The last two episodes are worth the journey of watching this series. I didn't expect this to get trippy but it does.
Overall, this series isn't perfect but I still loved it. They can go in so may directions from here and I can't wait for season 2. I would score this an 8-8.5/10 and strongly recommend it.
Yellow Jackets: Season 2 (2023) is a series my wife and I recently finished watching on Showtime. The storyline picks up where season 1 left off with Shauna trying to cover up her boyfriend by any means necessary due to the information he's obtained. Misty and Natalie having been separated and Natalie isn't doing so well, while Misty has a new love interest. 👀 One of the missing from the group returns and tries to bring all the remaining survivors from the crash back together to show them the way through her new cult...
I'll be honest, I thought it would be tough for Season 2 to match the intensity and unique elements presented in Season 1...but the writers hit the nail on the head. The overall concept of the survivors of the crash dying while trying to survive or after surviving, but the outcome remains the same just the timeline changes, and tying those two timelines together was amazing. This series does a really good job keeping past tense and current states equally as interesting. This series also does a great job of showing the characters mindsets and the impact on their lives. Elijah Wood (Lord of the Rings) being added to the cast was outstanding. His performance was over the top good and impactful within the primary storyline. The cult aspects added to this season was the one part that was a big miss for me, especially in the final episode (even if I loved the finale). I'd also say the detectives being buffoons was a bit out there. Ricci, Lewis and Lynskey once again knock their performances absolutely out of the park. The last two episodes were a 10/10.
Overall, this is one of my favorite active series and I can't wait for Season 3. I would score this season equal to Season 1, a 9/10.

If you're watching because the opening scene gripped you, turn your TV off!
stumacpt-0579224 May 2023
Regardless of the other reviews, know one thing, if you are waiting for the opening scene of season 1, be known, it NEVER comes.
It takes slow burner to a new dimension. It's just a bunch of women saying things like 'we did terrible things' or 'nobody can ever find out' but I'm coming to the end of season 2 and I'm still waiting. The intrigue of the endless remorse scenes grips you, and episode after episode ends with a 'when is the going to get good!!'
It's a cool story, and make no mistake the acting is so so good. But my lord, the main storyline is middle age women struggling with .... Middle age life, then cutting back to sitting In a hut with a fire.
The opening scene was the best part of the series, and assuming they can't drag that out to 3 seasons, the end of season 2 may eventually get to it.

Christina Ricci perfect to that role!
Likeafrisbee17 January 2022
As always Christina Ricci nailed this role! She is such a talented actress. She portrsit it so realistic with her face expressions and even bodylanguage. Juliette Lewis is also perfect to her character. I cant wait for season 2,3,4... etc! Keep it coming!
I LOVED IT !!!!
jennfinn14 November 2021
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.

jimsweezey15 November 2021
This is based off the pilot alone so far but it's off to a booming beginning. Two stories rolled into one bigger story keeps you bouncing back and forth and wanting to see where each one is going and how the first affects the 2nd. I don't find it confusing at all but I've read some other have found it so. I don't see how but to each their own.
Can't wait to see where it's going!
SweeZ.

Second season is an insult to the first!
lishablackhurst29 May 2023
Couldn't have been more disappointed with the second season - especially after such a strong start and all that was built in the first season.
All the work that was put into creating the characters, and the tension surrounding the mystery of their circunstances, was all utterly destroyed - and each episode gets rapidly worse and worse.
You'd be better off watching the first season, and then switching off and just using your imagination to what could be in store, rather than see the descent into utter madness. It is a painful watch.
Do not watch it you want to keep your love of the first season intact. There is no pay off or reward for sticking through it.

athanasiosze13 July 2022
Firstly, it tricks you it's gonna be a horror tv show. Then it tricks you it's gonna be a good tv show.
It's neither of those.
This is a teenage comedy/drama with some horror elements. At first, it works, but the last 4 episodes are truly awful. They are also cringe and unintentionally funny, almost like a parody of the former episodes.
Even acting gets worse.
Unbelievable things happen, people act out of character, the show is becoming ridiculous and it's such a pity, because all the good actors and fine music are being wasted.
Why did this show become so dumb? I mean, it wasn't a masterpiece, but the first half was watchable and entertaining.
The last episode is pure -unintentionally- comedy. A person dies and it is the most stupid death in the history of television. Instead of feeling sadness, i bet that every viewer is gonna burst out laughing.
Juliette Lewis, Warren Kole, Samantha Hanratty, Christina Ricci and some others are doing a good job here. Actors are not the problem in this show.
