A wildly talented high school girl soccer team becomes the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the Canadian wilderness.

Season 1 was a solid 10 for me on IMDB (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11041332) but the second season is so freaking bad. The young girl’s stories is more gripping but the modern day versions are waffling from episode to episode. It’s been 6 episodes so far and it doesn’t seem coherent.

Yellowjackets’ first season is ablaze with the potency of unbridled hormones, extreme vices, and survival horror, juxtaposed with the horrors of the mundanity of middle age. In the second season, however, Yellowjackets is a little worse for wear in its first six episodes. While the post-crash stories remain the most involving, the present-day side suffers as the writers look for ways to separate the adult characters with less dramatic returns.

There are plenty of instances where the cuts between time periods are more random and less meaty, as though the writers are trying to find ways to flesh out underserved characters, but end up leading to a less satisfying episode overall.

I’m thinking the story peaked when the Queen Bee died.
