Yellowjackets (Showtime)

[Jr.]

I just recently found out this show and holy **** it is incredible.

It's about a high school soccer team that survived a plane crash on the way to a tournament and what they did to survive. It also has current day storylines about the survivors.

If you have showtime and like mystery-type shows, I highly recommend it.

I've watched the first 7 episodes so far and plan on finishing the first season tomorrow night

Okay never mind. the finale is this weekend. Can't wait for it, this show is wild

Re: Yellowjackets (Showtime)

Watched the finale and while it didn't answer the questions I thought, it set up well for S2. The story-telling and acting is top notch. I can't recommend it enough for anyone that's into a horror/mystery style show.

Been watching this with the fam, very into it. I was really hyped when I thought it was a miniseries, less so when I found out they want to run this for 5 seasons, might feel kinda drawn out, but it’s great so far. Gotta love Rose from Two and a Half Men and Wednesday Addams.

Re: Yellowjackets (Showtime)

I just started episode nine and I'm looking forward to closing out the season tomorrow.
Didn't realize they were possibly looking at five seasons.

Spoiler

I assume the parallel storylines will keep the mid-90s girls stranded until the very end of the series. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

The actress that plays Van was great as the daughter in Santa Clara Diet and she's one of my favorites here.

Spoiler

(I was convinced she had died.)

Re: Yellowjackets (Showtime)

I'm trying not to think too much about the totality of 5 seasons. Just gonna enjoy each season as it comes. This first season has been maybe my favorite season of any show. I just started watching through it again to see what I missed the first time.

I'm a fan. You liked it more than me but you set the bar high.

Well executed season finale, with some dark stuff looming in season 2.

Spoiler

I was particularly stunned by the apparent voodoo pulled off by Taissa including the beheading of the family pet. Makes her childhood transgression of setting up a girl's broken leg on the soccer field seem relatively mild. The fact that it might of won her the election is very interesting.

Although the teenage versions of the adults were supposedly selected with not too much emphasis on likeness they might have hit the jackpot without even trying.

Heard that Melanie Lynskey was weight shamed by one of the cast members and was immediately defended by all the adult (not porn) stars.

Yeah the casting has been spot on between the teens and adults. There's a good article on The Ringer about how they decided on the casting and their relationships between each other.

RE: your spoiler and other stuff

Spoiler

I'm really interested to see where they go with the cult stuff. The smile by Taissa when she won leads me to believe she's either part of that cult or doing something cult-ish with the dog stuff. I guess there's still a chance that it's coincidence and she beheaded the dog during her sleep walking episode when she was bit on the hand.

And I'm curious if Lotti is still alive, or if the modern-day cult was grown in her memory or something.

I'm also really surprised Coach Ben is still around. He's pretty much lost his purpose now that he has no authority.

Re: Yellowjackets (Showtime)

Just started watching this, I'm 4 episodes in and each episode i just get more invested. I think the flashbacks were the strongest part at first but the present day stuff is starting to catch up.

Re: Yellowjackets (Showtime)

Man. This show really ramps it up towards the end. Excited for what a second season brings. Well acted by both the younger and older versions of the characters. Earlier it was said they were planning on 5 seasons, this definitely seems like a 3 season show at most. As good as it is with what we've established so far it could really go off the rails quickly.

Spoiler

- I knew the plane wasn't going to make it but didn't expect it to blow up.
- I was surprised the fixer lady thought she had outsmarted Misty.
- Not sure how I feel about the cult showing up and abducting Nat. The show is well written though so hopeful they can make that good.

I’m going through LOST for the first time and this show has been in my head the whole time, I feel like the Leo pointing meme. Yellowjackets took their whole flow, bar for bar but made it more adult. It’s fun to understand why people compare them so much.

Re: Yellowjackets (Showtime)

Saw the first trailer for the new season. I need to decide if I'm going to sign up for showtime to watch the episodes new, or wait and binge it all at once like I did with S1

I renewed showtime effective today so I’ll be watching yellow jackets week to week.

I have a feeling this is what I'll end up doing. Not sure I can wait, and it's perfect timing with TLoU wrapping up

Re: Yellowjackets (Showtime)

Yeah I’ll wait till the season is done. None of my friends watch it so less likely going to be spoiled. Can’t wait, one of my favorite new shows
