One thing that feels assured is Yellowjackets will continue to clear the high bar it sets for itself and be about way more than just “trauma”. Read full review

Although the present has yet to fully measure up to the stomach-churning storytelling of the past, Season 2 is still packed to the brim with what made the series such a buzzworthy hit in the beginning: dark comedy blended with harrowing drama, and more than enough wild reasons to keep watching.

It’s blazing good television, with each episode leaving us wanting more of the madness. Read full review

If the show explores the paranormal as thoughtfully and confidently as it does teen cannibalism and sticks the landing again in the season finale, “Yellowjackets” will vault to the top of the puzzle-box ranks. But with a show this daring, a fiery wreck always feels moments away. Read full review

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

The performances remain sharp and just the right amount of peculiar (Lewis is the particular highlight), but even the best of actors can’t make wheel spinning terribly interesting after a certain point. ... When Yellowjackets leans into that mysticism—evoking some kind of forest god or malevolent spirit—the show shifts into its eeriest, most alluring form. ... The ending of episode six gives me hope that the back half of the season will collect itself and drive the story forward in a confident direction. Read full review

There are so many things happening in Yellowjackets at all times that it’s never completely clear which aspects are the distracting sleight of hand and which are the actual magic trick. It’s not mechanically sound, but Yellowjackets is still moving forward. For now. Read full review

Fantastic beginning, maybe the best episode final scene of the entire show.

A stellar star to a really incredible series. I'm hoping by the end this 8 feels more like a 9, but I can tell the series has the potential. It's all about Lynskey!

jumped the shark far too early on season 1, and now it's gone full of supernatural nonsense, dei ex machinae and/or clichés.
