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

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

started reading your post and thought of Lost straight away!
Which I never bothered with after first season I think as it dragged out and got boring
I’m on episode 7 of Yellowjackets, loving it so far but yes agree seems like 5 seasons it might lose its way? I dunno I hope I’m wrong, plus I hate now that it means waiting months/years for next few series!

Ugh yeah. Will be years. And I’ll be long out by the end. I want to know who the girl was running though the snow at the beginning? And was she eaten? What’s the heart necklace all about? Not here for a long dragged out show full of red herrings and plot holes.

I’m just rewatching the first one as I wanted to see the ‘cannibal’ scenes again. It looks like in some of the photos at Shauna’s house there are two girls/daughters in some of their photos. Maybe the baby did survive??

And a great character study of Misty/Ricci in The Cut:

‘Misty, and Ricci’s portrayal of her, is uniquely chilling. Ricci dominated the ’90s with a dry, brutal wit and darkness, as exemplified in a more PG way by her turn as Wednesday Addams. As an adult actor, she gravitated toward darker, more difficult characters like those in Buffalo ’66, Prozac Nation, and Black Snake Moan. Yellowjackets, then, seems built for the intersection of her skills, graduating her to an expressive, terrifying performance that defies easy tropes. Misty’s fear factor, and Ricci’s skill in playing someone so complicated, is part of what makes the show so compelling.’


Just finished watching this last night and WOW!

Quoted the above post because I’ve got to say that I’m utterly obsessed with Misty. Christina Ricci pitches her performance perfectly 🤩

OMG, I am so, so excited about this - I can’t wait for the new season. I’m rewatching S1 again right now in preparation.

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 😕

Don’t we have to pay for that? 😭
Yup. It's a bummer. I'm getting so tired of these new streaming services etc. popping up all over the place. However, I guess there are other ways to watch these shows...

Sky had an exclusive deal with Showtime for a number of years, but I guess that's come to an end. I wonder how many more shows they will lose? Their current deal with HBO expires in 2025. If they lose all their HBO shows they may as well scrap Sky Atlantic!

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.

I think the writers said they had a full five (?? I think) season arc written out. I know it won’t be until the very end but I’m excited to see them get rescued and go back in to society

Caught up on season 1 cause I heard season 2 was coming out and didn't realise it was weekly episodes 😭 Having binged the whole first season how am I going to survive on one ep a week?!
Also...
where'd those new/extra girls come from? Am I going mad??

They’re other team members. Basically they were background characters in season 1 but have been given a bigger role this season.
