Critics Consensus

While Yellowjackets is still picking up the pieces of its first finale's cliffhangers, more focus on the mysterious Lottie and grisly hints at the barbarism to come give this premiere an immediate pulse.

Alliances and divisions established long ago continue to bless and poison their present. In fact, this is where Yellowjackets works best.

Yellowjackets is already demonstrating that this is a story built to survive—and in its own [messed-up], traumatized, woo-woo way, thrive.

I see it more as a dark depiction of what it's like to be a teenage girl on the brink of a lifetime of possibilities, where any choice, on any given day, can lead you closer to or further away from your "true self."

Welcome back to The Wilderness, acolytes. Yellowjackets is back with a bang, bringing a bloody, macabre mystery with nuanced performances and fun character dynamics.

We don’t have all the answers yet, but the season two premiere finally gives us a tiny taste of the depravity Yellowjackets has been heading toward all along.

Awkward and jarring introduction of new teen survivors to the crash timeline aside, this was overall a really good episode that pushes us further down the path of darkness.
