Yellowjackets

The first season was so masterful that the second season had nowhere to go but down, sadly. It continues to be unflinchingly grisly, never blinking or too queasy to make a joke. And it moves the ball forward meaningfully on unraveling the mysteries of what happened out there and how it’s weighing on them now. But the suspense feels largely gone. I feel less like I’m being baited along with juicy questions and more like I’m being asked to just bear witness to some gruesome shit.
