Score Breakdown
The Review
Yellowjackets is the most addictive mystery-thriller on Showtime. The dual-timeline story of a girls' soccer team stranded in the wilderness after a plane crash — and the secrets they carry twenty-five years later — combines survival horror with suburban drama in a way that keeps audiences theorizing between episodes. Melanie Lynskey and Christina Ricci anchor the adult timeline with powerhouse performances.
Fun Fact
The showrunners have a complete plan for five seasons and know exactly what happened in the wilderness, though they have dropped clues so subtle that most fans have not caught them.
