Review of Old Wounds

Yellowjackets: Old Wounds (2023)
Season 2, Episode 4
7/10
Standard "setting things up" episode
14 April 2023
The biggest problem with the weekly trickle of episodes is that these ones that mainly serve to set things up for the rest of the season get frustrating. I've rated it a 7 when it probably deserves something a little higher but it really felt like a long sequence that happens before a commercial and leaves you eager to see how things play out but leaves you unsatisfied for a week while you wait for the next bit of story.

The current score of 8.8 is definitely over rated but I think that's because the early bird ratings are inflated by those who were long awaiting the last scene - I prefer to keep my reviews spoiler free so I won't reveal what happens here but those who have watched the episode will know right away what I mean. I'd expect the score to drop down somewhere around 7 or 8 eventually.

The episode in general was rather heavy on the slow moving adult storyline and while we got some nice revelations on the crash site teen story, the good parts were short lived and when things were starting to finally ramp up, the episode was over. Really looking forward to the next ones as I've got a feeling things are about to pick up and get very interesting and pacing about to pick up!
