Yellowjackets 🐝

[Monkeybum]

I've just binge watched this in 2 days after my hairdresser recommended. Just had a roller coaster of thinking I have a year to wait for S2 then realising I'm so behind it's only a month now

I just read that Yellowjackets will no longer air on Sky Atlantic as it has moved to Paramount+ for season 2

Just finished it. So many thoughts!
However disappointed to read that they are planning five seasons. Would love it if it had all been tied up in this one or just one more was promised.
I find with some American shows, they start off really well with lots of mystery and intriguing things that you hope are later explained.. and then it fizzles out and I’m out by the second series.
Don’t see much point in speculating for the next series when if it’s being spun out for five what’s going to happen of note in the next two?
Am I being too pessimistic? Still burned by Lost

The timeline doesn’t add up for it to be Callie.

Interesting.. I hate this waiting weekly for episodes. Half of me wants to let it build, the other half cant wait and wants to watch it as it comes. ergh.

So do you think van believes that ‘it’ is still after them? In my head, Lottie and Taissa do. I think Shauna doesn’t. I THINK misty doesn’t, I think Natalie definitely didn’t and I’m not sure about Van. I’d have said no, but your post is making me rethink it.

I think the 'it' is their shared trauma, and I think deep down most of them know that (what was it they said about it, something about 'it' just being all of them together?). Van believes in Lottie, still, but that's less about supernatural powers or w/e than it is about Lottie's cult leader charisma imo.

Man that episode was a rollercoaster!

Such a great programme, I'm getting LOST vibes which is my favourite series of all time, despite the weak ending. Who was the girl that ended up being eaten in Ep1?

The writers of Lost admitted they just made it up as they went along so I'm hoping the writers of Yellowjackets have an ending in mind.

I'm so annoyed about this because of the sheer power of the story and the magnificent cast!!!! I think their main mistake was the whole adult Shauna killing her lover plotline in the first series, which introduced the detectives who have brought nothing to the story. If they would just concentrate on the girls and the women they become instead of these dumbass subplots it would be so much better - as it is,, they don't give us enough space even with the big scenes, before it's going onto something puerile and pointless. Natalie deserved more from her death scene than some bullshit which makes zero sense - why did the women start to hunt, why did Natalie suddenly bring out her knife, why was her cult friend suddenly pointing a gun at her - none of it made sense. And what should have been a really moving scene (Natalie facing death in the dream aeroplane) was totally undercut by these strange choices. There is so much potential in this series and they just seem to be squandering it, it's infuriating.

I don’t get how it’s festering away on paramount when it’s got that cast and story!

 

[PineappleQueen19]

Episode 1 has dropped. I’m going in…




Update: It’s good. However definitely giving Lost vibes. Sprawling narrative threads, clues that may be either crucial or meaningless, and the overall feeling that the writers are making it up as they go along. Such a shame. I wish it had been kept tight and capped at two or three seasons.

Have watched the first 2 episodes on sky Atlantic and am loving it. Love Christina Ricci.

As long as they don't eat the baby

People keep saying this on reddit but I really don't think this show is gonna go that far, I'd be pretty shocked if they went there but we'll have to see. I do think the dreams Shauna keeps having of giving birth to food is kind of foreshadowing it but then maybe it's just a red herring.

 

[ls240898]

That's so mad cause I don't remember them at all Literally just finished season 1 as well

Spoiler

I think I read that not all of them were in season 1, some had to be recast and some are brand new so you’re not crazy!

 

[Fanny Muchmore]

OMG just watched episode two!!!

Spoiler

That pyre BBQ-d her JUST right *chef's kiss*

I don’t get how it’s festering away on paramount when it’s got that cast and story!

Sky's deal with Showtime ended, which is why the show is now on Pararmount+. I guess Sky didn't want to pay to renew the deal or maybe Paramount had first dibs on certain shows once that contract was up. Sky's deal with HBO is ending in 2025, so they could lose a bunch of shows then too, unless they decide to cough up the cash!

I’m on episode 3. I’m loving it! Usually not good with gore but the acting is so good!

 

[Lurkingloads]

I could honestly just leave it now, I don't think I want to watch them try to stretch it out over 5 seasons and going the way of LOST.

I'm wondering if Coach Ben will have to go into hiding now in the cave to avoid the girls eating him for trying to burn them alive and then when the rescue mission happens he doesn't get rescued because he's hiding in the cave.

A lot of season 2 was just absolutely pointless. It went from a must watch in season 1 to a chore finishing season 2.

 

[whatstheteab]

Anyone else not quite as into the new series as they originally were? I find all the Lottie stuff a bit tiresome

The present day storylines are really boring me this season.

 

[whatstheteab]

I was convinced that Ben wouldn’t make it to the end of the season but his storyline ended up being my favourite this season. That being said I think he’ll end up being the “shocking” death next season. I’m curious to see if the rumours surrounding Mari being alive in the present are true. I can see them introducing her similar to how they revealed Van’s fate this season.

Also what was with Lottie being in Natalie’s dying hallucination? It would’ve made a lot more sense and bittersweet to have Adult Travis instead.

How is everyone watching the finale? I didn’t think it was on Sunday!

The episodes go up earlier on Paramount+
