"Yellowjackets" tells the narrative of a team of wildly talented high-school girls soccer players who survive a plane crash deep in the Ontario wilderness. The series chronicles their descent from a complicated but thriving team to warring, cannibalistic clans, while also tracking the lives they have attempted to piece back together. Sophie Nélisse, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Thatcher and Sammi Hanratty star as the teenagers, while Melanie Lynskey, Tawny Cypress, Christina Ricci and Juliette Lewis portray their adult counterparts as they reveal the truth about their survival 25 years later.

Critics Consensus

Having already made a startling first impression, Yellowjackets coils itself in a second season preparing for the long haul -- thankfully, its superb performances and mesmeric ambience are fine substitutes for fast answers.

Lili Loofbourow

Washington Post

Yellowjackets has plenty of flaws, but I’m stunned... without sacrificing the thrill of a good plot, it manages to bend genres, juggle wildly different tones and invert familiar tropes.

HuffPost

It should get props for the concept and assembling a truly dynamite cast. But, even now in Season 2, it’s coasting a bit too much on intrigue, only sporadically bringing the audience to its most grisly narrative points.

Empire Magazine

Yellowjackets continues to be as uniquely gnarly and peculiar as its title sequence with this madly inventive second season, full of thrillingly disturbing developments.

Rated: 4/5

A series sustained by its tension and impact, but above all by the excellent work of a well-established ensemble cast, which responds to every challenge presented to it. [Full Review in Spanish]

A teenage girl killing an 800 pound grizzly bear with a knife. That did it for me. Laughable.

Horrendous horrendous choices, feel like it didn’t get cancelled just because the first season set up so much intrigue.
