For season one;
The Yellowjackets are a highschool all girl soccer team. They enter a national competition and their plane crashes in the middle of some woods on route, miles away from any of civilization.
The general premise might sound familiar but the storytelling, the building of each character and a mystery person separates this story from any similar stories. All of which contributes towards the slowly unraveling of what exactly happened during the nineteen months the group were stranded and the present day when a stranger is blackmailing the victims to keep their deepest, darkest secrets from becoming public. What did happen is slowly revealed, what might have happened is hinted and what could happen is yet to be seen.
Now at the end of season one, some flaws might get addressed in the next season but, as it stands now, this could have been wrapped up in ten episodes with a tight score of 10/10. Still impressive when considering the duration of each episode is fifty minutes. I also hope that this series remains unspoiled by too much situational scenarios, that which often ruins many TV shows by prolonging a good storytelling in exchange for longevity.
Edit: no other seasons of Yellowjackets were viewed, since by the end of season one there were enough to infer the general gist of the story without a dramatic end, and the end of season one had concluded enough for me to be satisfied with only enjoying one season.
