Yellowjackets finally lifts the veil on one of its enduring mysteries: the significance of the queen of hearts.

New York Magazine/Vulture

Let me just say that if this show turns into a version of Orange Is the New Black, in which all the adult Yellowjackets collectively rule a prison, I’d be into it.

Rated: 5/5

Geek Girl Authority

“It Chooses” is, hands down, the best outing of the season thus far. Both timelines feature jaw-dropping plot twists and narrative-altering moments.

This string of Yellowjackets episodes feels like a reckoning is coming, albeit sometimes confusing. You hope that the choices made aren’t because of something imaginary.

Cade Taylor

Tell-Tale TV

Like most others, the penultimate episode of the season is enthralling enough to keep us on the edge of our seats. It features moments of endearment, heartache, disgust, terror, and pure befuddlement.

Rated: 4.5/5

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

Yellowjackets Season 2 Episode 8 is a particularly bleak episode, miserable in ways that seep into you. The series continues and likely won’t ever be able to escape it’s uneven pacing due to the divide of interest in the story...

Rated: 7/10
