The Wilds (beware spoilers)

finished EP10

wtf of course theres going to be a second season and I’m down, although I don’t really know how they keep them going on the island, I don’t think they’re going to be able to continuously get the food they need, also clearly theres a shark attack and I’m not sure how Rachel survives that without outside help but who knows.

Yes to all of that. But I am down for whatever. They hooked me, and I trust them to deliver a new angle as inventive as the first season.

I’m fine if they fail. The worst that happens is my re-watches stop at season one.

Sounds like you agree with my take. Good overall but goes off the rails a bit in the last few episodes. I was really worried about the lesbian plot at first but they redeemed.

i think it did fairly well the last few ep, just worried about how they will keep it together, they should just shoot for 2-3 good seasons and call it a day, not 8.

I think a three season arc would be excellent.

Season two features the second island and we see how this scenario plays out with teenage boys. Big conflict is that now the stuff happening behind the scenes in the control room requires the girls from island one to help the boys on island two. The factions eventually find each other, but the boys violently defend themselves as fiercely as the girls when they were facing the enemy. The boys don’t know better. Not yet.

They don’t trust anyone, and knowing what they’re facing, the girls kind of understand. They still have to get everyone not to kill each other.

Because in season three, the two factions come together to fight back.

Big series finale in which they go full Stephen King and reveal it was aliens all along. Finis.

A weighted blanket might make you more patient

Not that I’ve heard of. Vanity may scoop you before you can pitch the hashtag though.

Confirmed renewed for season 2

EP6:

As others have mentioned this was about as obvious a twist as I’ve ever seen in a show. Was it even meant to be a twist? Are the girls meant to be so dumb that they are just fine with not talking to their parents after rescue - I could get accepting that you can’t see them for quarantine reasons, but to not even get a phone call?

By far the worst episode so far and now worried that it’s going to just spiral worse towards the ending.

I started watching this, got but 2.5 episodes through but wasn’t really paying attention. Started over almost done w episode 9 (I don’t even know how many episodes there are but it has to be running out).

If you are talking about Rachael Griffiths what is wrong with you.

She is a pretty terrible actress IMO.

This is just one of those opinions which are demonstrably wrong.

Math adds up.

I suggest you watch the first episode of The I-Land on Netflix. Would love to hear which one you like least :grinning:

After I finished Amazon recommended The Hills. Which is silly because obviously I saw every episode of The Hills when it originally aired on MTV.

Although it did kick me into the first episode which starts off with LC and Heidi not only being friends but becoming roommates. My how the trickle of time erodes away the foundation of many a friendship. If you had asked me moments before if Heidi and LC were ever good friends I probably would have said no.

Obviously add this to the Mandela Effect spreadsheet.

I had to watch the ending a few times because I kept missing the 2 second cutaway of the cctv. I agree that the way it ended sucked. They resolved nothing on season 1. Did Amazon have to agree to buy and air at least two seasons?

Not that I’ve seen, it only got renewed a couple days ago.

My problem with e10

I agree the Norah flashbacks were bad. Seems like instead of coming up with relatable issues and then creating the right amount of characters, they decided on having a certain number of characters and had to scramble to fill it I . Honestly everything about her flash back was bad except for the great Rachael Griffiths.

I don’t think she’s a terrible actress, but I find her extraordinarily unappealing and difficult to watch, and have felt this way since Six Feet Under.

The EP Amy Harris, formerly a writer for Sex and the City, the prequel series The Carrie Diaries, and the CW’s impeccable adaptation of Gossip Girl, had this to say.

"Hopefully people have fallen in love with these girls and are rooting and invested in them. That’s the stuff I really love exploring as the show develops.

“That for me was the most fun part of [ Sex and the City ] was, as the years went on and our writers’ room was getting closer and our relationships were deepening, it felt like we were infusing the women’s relationships in that way, and just really getting to the specificity of what real friendship means and what real support means.”
