    The new Amazon series, from “Daredevil” writer Sarah Streicher, works best in this mode, i.e. letting its teens be recognizable teens. But when it broadens the story to include the nefarious forces that may have landed them on the island, “The Wilds” loses its focus almost entirely.

    Although the writer doesn’t quite capture the power and zest of authentic teenage – especially female – speech, it at least doesn’t have them communicating in overscripted zingers either. An almost unimpeachable array of performances sell it well, and overall you buy it.

    Great show tackling with todays problems in a deep and original way. Moving, funny and not cliche at all. Acting is superb. Go past firstGreat show tackling with todays problems in a deep and original way. Moving, funny and not cliche at all. Acting is superb. Go past first episode, you wont regret it. Dont listen to those saying its a new version of Lost or Lord Of the Flies it is 100% not that. The island is just the stage for us to meet these characters, their backstories and their deep issues. Cant wait for season 2!… Full Review »

    'It's like LOST, but with girls' is really selling this short. It's more like Survivor, but without Tribal Council. ;-)

    No, this is just an awesome show with great acting. The story is a bit on the nose for me, but still entertaining.
    I really liked Shelby (Mia Healy) in this and found out this is her acting debut!    … Full Review »
