Yellowjackets (2021– )
6/10
Season 1 -8*, season 2- 4*
27 May 2023
Warning: Spoilers
What happened between season 1 and season 2? Is this another wiess-benioff attempt, where they had nothing to adapt after first book?

Season 1 was excellent, mix of Alive, the craft, the edge etc. Plane crash in the mountains, girls soccer team has to learn to survive, but there's something murky in the woods. Is it the girls hunger mentally manifesting, or is it something more sinister Blair witchy like? Modern story also, but not as, interesting, survivors trying to get on with their lives while living with the consequences of what went on in the mountains.

Season 2 - WTF?! Game of thrones season 8 in disguise, Ruined all the build up of the big bad in season 1, killed off any interesting plot threads started in season 1, killed off most interesting lead character, made the most interesting character in previous season as tedious and hateful as possible, not enough elijah wood who along with Christina ricci and Juliette Lewis are the only reasons to stick with modern story line as it's bloody awful. Characters jumping to conclusions somehow figuring stuff out, poor writing in general.

Get rid of yellowjackets version of benioff and weiss and go back to what made season 1 so enjoyable.

But more Walter and misty.
