Yellowjackets: Season Three, Part Three

"You deserve everything that's coming to you."

(This review covers episodes 8 though 10 of Yellowjackets season 3, and contains spoilers.)

As the title of the Yellowjackets season three finale suggests, an effort is made here to bring many of the series’ biggest storylines “full circle.” What happens in these three episodes is both messy and cathartic, as we get answers to questions that have been hanging over viewers since the pilot.

Yellowjackets: Season Three, Part Two

“What if she’s actually a bad person?”

(This review covers episodes 5 through 7 of Yellowjackets season 3, and contains spoilers.)

These three episodes of Yellowjackets mark a major turning point for the series. Filled with death, sadness and pure chaos, we see glimpses of the show at its very best throughout each episode, though certain elements remain flawed.

Yellowjackets: Season Three, Part One

“How's this story for you? Once upon a time, a bunch of teenage girls got stranded in the wilderness... and they went completely fucking nuts.”

(This review covers episodes one through four of Yellowjackets season three, and contains spoilers).

Mark's Best of 2023

My typically rambling, nonsensical look back at the last year in entertainment.

Yellowjackets: Season Two, Part Two

"This is exactly where we belong. We've been here for years."

(This review covers the Yellowjackets episodes 2.6 through 2.9, and includes spoilers!)

Yellowjackets: Season Two, Part One

“The whole time, there was something, some darkness, out there... with us.”

(This review covers the Yellowjackets episodes 2.1 through 2.5, and includes spoilers!)

As Yellowjackets enters its second season, it has become even clearer that this series will stick to its guns and tell the story it initially set out to tell, for better or worse.

Yellowjackets: Season One

"I always thought I was just trying to forget what happened out there. The things I saw, the things I did..."

This review covers the first season of Yellowjackets, and contains spoilers.

This Week: Wes Anderson Movies Are like Desserts

Here's what the Agents of Doux are watching this week.

Billie Doux: Outlander is back, and they started off with a massive amount of set-up. Why do I love this show so much? And I just realized I can say the same two things about Star Trek: Picard.

This Week: But Evil First

I hate to admit it, but we can't review everything. So I thought it might be fun to get the Agents of Doux to talk about what they're watching this week. And if it is fun, maybe we'll do it every week.

Billie Doux: For me this week, it's all about Ozark. Don't you love it when you try something and it's really good, and there are multiple seasons to watch? I decided to give Ozark a try last week and I'm already in season three.

Season Reviews | Cast

What if the Lord of the Flies wasn't about preadolescent boys, but instead focused on headstrong, competitive teenage girls? It's an oversimplification, but a somewhat accurate description of Yellowjackets, a mystery/thriller starring an ensemble cast that portray both teenage and adult versions of survivors of a plane crash. Taking place across two timelines, this series chronicles the young group's crash and subsequent fight for survival in the wilderness in 1996, as well as their adult counterparts' struggles to maintain normality in the present.

Anchored by an incredible cast of industry newcomers and vets alike, this show's unique approach to genre bending and character deconstruction stands out amongst other survival thrillers. Buzz buzz buzz!
