"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.

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.

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.

4/5

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

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]

It gets a little rocky at times, but Season 2 manages to be nearly as good as its predecessor

I admit that the first season created a lot of intrigue, but the next season didn’t logically answer any of the questions it raised. Instead, it became far more violent and deeply disturbing.

This is still a great show, and some good storytelling still. The teen timeline remains interesting and engaging. The adult timeline has lost the plot a bit, and despite some outstanding acting, the season ending is just a bunch of missed opportunities, ignored story threads, and just unrealistic writing. You have to suspend disbelieve way too much, and the cop/teen storyline was just ick. Could have been done in a much better way that is more true to the characters.

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

Buena continuación de la historia. Tal vez no a la altura de la primer temporada pero cumple para seguir enganchado.

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