"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.

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

For those looking for slow burning, plot twists and central enigmas that cause real questions, the return of Yellowjackets could not have come soon enough, and will mean the wait for season three is already more than many will be able take.

Rated: 5/5

THE NASHVILLE I

S2 is as gripping and wonderfully suspenseful as the first, but it admittedly does crawl a bit more than S1. This season focuses much more on groundwork and context, whereas the first season was much more about rising action and thrills. Nevertheless, the second season is still a must-watch.

The Alive + Lord of the Flies + Blair Witch duel timelines is a decent anchor. Things begin coming adrift in this season. The writers get lost, characters wobble, and the audience is left hoping things will come together. It will not. Thus, like a party that isn't great but has decent drinks, you can take it for what it is or find something better.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Terrible what has happened to this show. they kill off great built up and well structured.characters with little or no development. You could tell after season 1 use writers were not prepared for the success the show would bring. It's just gotten worse and worse since season 2 began. Oof a Scooby-Doo ending? it's a shame.
