Here's What Critics Are Saying About Yellowjackets Season 2
By Mia Tucker
Take one look at the Rotten Tomatoes page for "Yellowjackets," and it's clear that critics love Season 2 so far. Vanessa Armstrong at /Slashfilm wrote that the sophomore season keeps up with everything that made viewers love Season 1, such as the compelling character development and a catchy soundtrack of '90s hits.
"[The show is] still gripping, still disturbing, still keeps the characters front and center, and still doesn't get too bogged down by the mystery enshrouding it all," Armstrong said.
Meanwhile, Emily Zemler of Observer mused about the fact that co-creators Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson had a lot to live up to given how much of a hit the engaging first season turned out to be, but she also promised that Season 2 is satisfying.
"[Juliette] Lewis, [Christina] Ricci, and [Melanie] Lynskey make 'Yellowjackets' such must-see TV," Zemler wrote. "All of the show's actors are strong, but it's this trio, playing wonderfully f***ed up women who have no interest in so-called good behavior, who are the most captivating."
Zemler was far from the first critic to comment on the strong acting of the season. Gwen Ihnat of The Wrap, for example, declares that the show's cast is better than ever. Here at Looper, Matthew Jackson has nothing but praise for Season 2 as well.
"'Yellowjackets' Season 2 becomes one of the most thrilling rides you're likely to take on the small screen this year," Jackson said. "One of TV's best shows just got even better, and it still feels like it's only the beginning.
