Critics Consensus

Chaotic in both good and bad ways, this season finale suffers from haphazard creative choices but still packs the nasty sting that fans expect.

Yellowjackets thrives on twisty plotting and gnarly action, but losing [this character] feels deeply misguided.

Hattie Lindert

AV Club

A master class in both subverting its own ethos and cultivating the seeds of a new season, Yellowjackets’ season-two finale takes the limited reveals the season has built towards and recontextualizes them once again.

Rated: A

New York Magazine/Vulture

“Storytelling” feels very much like it’s toggling between two completely different shows.

Rated: 3/5

“Storytelling” says farewell to a beloved character and highlights the next catastrophe in the teens’ fight for survival.

Rated: 3.5/5

I’m completely fine with this finale. The show has always been an uneven but enjoyable ride, and season two offered me more than enough reason to tune back for season three.

The Daily Beast

Things weren’t fair when a group of teenagers crash-landed in the wilderness, resorting to violent means to stay alive. They weren’t fair when the brilliantly clever television produced in Season 1 took a nosedive in Season 2.
