General Plot Reminder:
Your typical annoying, bitchy, entitled teenagers get on a plane to... somewhere, as to participate in a teenage girl sport thing, but the plane crashes. God's hand, if you ask me. Maybe someone was praying for other team to win.
Lots of screams, coach loses his leg, but most seem to survive. Except some dude's dad, he dead.
| They didn't check his pulse though, was this a crime series this dude would totally be revealed later to have survived. |
We later find out that the group's freak, Misty, had secured and concealed a beacon thingy that would've spared them the later events, in the efford of doing the coach, who turns out is gay, so not even that goes right. In Misty's defense, had she just pop the beacon, we'd be left with no show, so koodoes for her.
Well, this part of the show goes for long but to make the story short, they find a cabin, then try and fail to secure food, some dude gets K'd and they eat him, pan-frying his heart like a bunch of savages (don't they know you have to BOIL the heart??), blondie gets mad and challenges the coven, which earns her death by cold.
| I get we have no food, but can't you just cook the meat? British palete over here wants it blue rare |
Half of every episode goes devoted to the boring "present" timeline, practice I don't recommend by the way, which can be basically summarized by some shifty mysterious person blackmailing and threatening the "group" (just the main ones) that they will "spill the beans" about what happened in the past, which I suppose works in favor of build up for the main "past" storyline.
-Review for season 1-
Positively surprised by this show, I allowed myself to feel uneasy as the plot developed to the most unexpected extent. The final scene gave me the chills, which for a veteran in the horror genre like myself is a lot to speak. They paid close attention to each character's personality and the relationship they have with each other feels natural and awakes interested in most cases. 8/10
| Mfw I left the window open during winter. Jokes aside this is the most potent scene in season 1. PoV: The kid who claims to like snow touches snow for five seconds |
I take the same stand as many of my predecesors and point out that the series experienced a quality drop, not substancial enough to ruin it but quite painful to watch.
Except the two first episodes, because cannibalism came to save the day, and what comes around goes around in the episode 8, the rest of the series seemed to lackluster in the survival department turning the "teen timeline" into a waiting line most of the time and the "adult timeline" definively suffer a lot under the direction of super-psycopaths to the rescue.
It takes all the drama of the crush by making it seem that being mentally traumatized makes you somehow better than the rest, or at least that's how it seemed to me.
The idea that starving people will just stand and wait to die looks propostuous to me, I was leading or even forming part of such place I wouldn't be wasting manforce into some half-explained cult with zero background.
I don't want to trasht-talk the series, but the writers need to go back to the roots, to what made s01 so interesting, by making us really be there with the yellowjackets in the mistery or in the tragedy. 6/10
