A good main story and solid acting is squandered by the frustrating clichés, dull tropes, and constant switching away from interesting scenes to scenes which have absolutely no hook to them. Extremely overrated. Go watch Severance instead ifA good main story and solid acting is squandered by the frustrating clichés, dull tropes, and constant switching away from interesting scenes to scenes which have absolutely no hook to them. Extremely overrated. Go watch Severance instead if you want a well directed and produced show.… Expand

The problem is that there are about 5 different story lines. A lot of them are origin story of the survivors. They just aren't gripping, in fact I fast forwarded through most of it, because I just don't care about these characters. So when IThe problem is that there are about 5 different story lines. A lot of them are origin story of the survivors. They just aren't gripping, in fact I fast forwarded through most of it, because I just don't care about these characters. So when I fast forward to the survival story line, it was pretty good at first, but then it gets ridiculously implausible. The movie "Alive" (1993) which is also about a downed plane carrying soccer player, is far better, and extremely similar in the main narrative. Which is based on a true story.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What happened? The first season started a bit slow for me but totally had me hooked by the end. The second season was the opposite: I was heavily invested at the beginning but by the end I no longer cared. The writing took a nosedive in the final few episodes and the season finale was painfully weak. It pulled a Game of Thrones, but at least Yellowjackets had the decency to tank it in 2 seasons instead of dragging out for 8.… Expand

Its influences are notorious, but it knows how to use the necessary twists to make it work, although it has a really, really hard time gaining traction.

I found the first four episodes too long for how little the story managed to do in terms of mystery.

The first episode gives you a pretty clear idea of what the hell happened in their time in the wilderness and that portion of the story is more interesting than the modern day plot, because it's not until the 10th episode that it becomes clear that something important will also happen in the present, but at that point it feels late, considering that I personally think the 10 episodes were excessive in terms of storyline.

One of its strongest points is its cast. The one from both eras, although clearly the cast of the present day story with Melanie Lynskey, Juliette Lewis Christina Ricci and Tawny Cypress have a lot much higher mileage.

It's a good enough show, but I honestly believe it needs to make clear soon in season 2 where it's going, because at this point I'm just not interested in watching a new Lost, that will feed and feed the mystery only to ultimately deliver a mediocre payoff.

But it is definitely worth a look.… Expand

Boring, tedious and not suspenseful. I am expected to sit through 1 or possibly several more seasons of garbage character drama just to get to the truth of the mystery?
