A-
Yellowjackets draws one of its clearest lines yet between the teen and adult timelines, providing essential context to Misty herself and her current burgeoning connection with Walter. Go to Full Review Erin Qualey New York Magazine/Vulture Apr 21, 2023
4/5
One of Yellowjackets’s greatest strengths is its casting. Go to Full Review Melody McCune Geek Girl Authority Aug 22, 2023
While I wish we had more time in the wilderness, I still love the present-day sequences and understand their significance. I love how the show transitions between the past and present. I’ll never get over how damn creative it is. Go to Full Review Kat Hughes THN May 5, 2023
4/5
As close as it gets to what could be considered a filler episode, taking its time to rearrange pieces on the board, moving them into formation for the latter half of the season. Despite this though, the episode is still as engrossing as all the others. Go to Full Review Erik Kain Forbes Apr 24, 2023
Something just isn’t quite clicking for me this season. There have been some extremely great moments, but ever since the introduction of the new teenage girls, it feels like the show is slipping. Go to Full Review Cade Taylor Tell-Tale TV Apr 24, 2023
3.5/5
With very few more obscene, standout moments, this episode deals with many different moving facets that alter and push the storyline forward drastically to build up to what is inevitably going to be one of the most significant episodes of the season. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
