“Them’s The Brakes” pulls the emergency brake—but instead of preventing the show from tumbling off a cliff, it stops the show from continuing down a promising new path and forces it back onto a dead-end track. Go to Full Review Erin Qualey New York Magazine/Vulture 02/21/2025
3/5
The world that the Yellowjackets know is a callous and cruel one, and of course their survivors’ guilt would steer them toward believing in an entity that would never be satisfied. Go to Full Review Alan French FandomWire 03/04/2025
9/10
The real standouts in “12 Angry Girls” are the “teens.” Thatcher gets a starring role in this episode and owns the screen during the questions. Go to Full Review Branyan Towe Loud and Clear Reviews 03/03/2025
Yellowjackets Season 3 Episode 3 represents another episode of this series that gives viewers just enough answers while building on existing plot lines and creating more questions to keep them coming back. Go to Full Review Melody McCune Tell-Tale TV 02/24/2025
4/5
It’s the strongest episode in Season 3 thus far, cultivating the seeds planted in the double-episode premiere, specifically in the ’90s timeline scenes. Go to Full Review Murjani Rawls Substream Magazine 02/24/2025
We are introduced to another enormous element calling into question everything we believe while having many outstanding questions to answer. It disorients the audience rather than keeping the allure of anticipating how the show will reveal secrets. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
