After an awesome first season, this new season...


after 2 episodes, is just terrible, it doesn´t even feel the same.

Did the writers change?

reply

Maybe you changed.

reply

Well, perhaps, but not enough to go from loving it to disliking it.

I love Sarah Desjardins, it´s basically just for her that i still watch it. Hope she doesn´t die

reply

Is she not as unlikeable in Season 2? Is that what you don't like?

reply

I love the actress. I found her for the first time in the first season, and she is amazing, i saw plenty of other stuff wit her after that. I never found her unlikeable as a character in the first season.

reply

What do you like about her?

reply

Well, her looks for once, she is very pretty, and her acting is good as well. I follow her on insta and she is also very cool there.

reply

I'm kind of only still watching just because of Christina Ricci.

reply

I’m remaining hopeful. I’m not loving the side plot of the cops and citizen detectives being after them.

reply

After the first season I wondered how they are going to keep stretching this out over four or five seasons. I'm two episodes into S2 and already noticing the 'stretching' effect. It's the same thing - a lot of mystery with no solution and side plots to keep it going.

Sticking around for Ricci only.

reply

It’s become like Manifest, using cheezy soap opera tactics to lure viewers along like fish. I stopped watching at the end of S1 because could see this coming.

reply

s2e1 was horrible. e2 was a bit better (and made me hungry). But I agree that - so far - the magic is gone. I hope to be wrong, though.

reply

It's the adults half that drags the whole show down.

reply

Not liking it so far. Seems like they are stretching things out. Also, the mystery with Christina Ricci and The Hobbit is not very interesting. This show had me hooked and now I am thinking of giving up on it. I will give it more time.

reply

Totally agree. I'm 3 episodes into S2 and it's boring as hell! Not sure whether to persevere or call it a day.

reply

I'll stick out this season and hope for the best but so far it seems the magic has gone and I'm not really surprised. I had a feeling the series was never going to sustain its storytelling structure for very long. Having the really interesting storyline in the wilderness be the flashback and the present day storyline being significantly less compelling had me concerned from the first episode.

Lost had it where the present day was on the island and they utilized flashbacks to have some thematic or narrative parallels with the events on the island as well as to develop the characters and what their lives were like before the crash. It had much more longevity out of it as it still meant any of the characters on the island could die whereas we know certain characters in Yellowjackets survive the wilderness to live into the present day so it robs the series of a lot of the tension.
