A short recap
Yellowjackets is a remarkable show that's best experienced with as little spoiling as possible. The second season picks up where the first season left off in both present-day and flashback storylines. Shauna (Melanie Lynskey) and Jeff (Warren Kole) are in the early stages of covering up a murder while dealing with how much their daughter Callie (Sarah Desjardins) knows.
Natalie (Juliette Lewis) was abducted in the first season's finale, and Misty (Christina Ricci) is stuck in the middle of both stories, trying to learn more and keep her online amateur detective group from catching any incriminating scents.
In the past, the teenage Yellowjackets are messed up from Jackie's (Ella Purnell) death. Shauna (Sophie Nélisse) is particularly wrecked and, two months later, particularly pregnant. Hunting isn't going well, so everybody is hungry, and different factions are forming around more spiritually inclined Lottie (Courtney Eaton) and more practical Natalie (Sophie Thatcher).
Yellowjackets remains a show with a significant gap between the storylines and characters that viewers like and the ones they find tedious. The gap may even be growing, but if the show has longevity, it might be thanks to the fact that the reasons why viewers like it will be entirely different from the reasons other fans watch. Yellowjackets is a show that will keep you entranced, and the elements that annoy some may be the ones that keep others hooked.
