Season Two Review
southdavid4 November 2022
I really enjoyed the first season of "The Wilds". It was a bit of a surprise package, as I hadn't seen much promotion for it, but it was full of excellent performances and an intriguing story, with room to grow. Unfortunately, I knew that the show was cancelled soon after starting this second run but although it doesn't perhaps wrap up all the strands of the story as you'd hope it might, I still think that with this one, there's enough there to recommend going for the journey anyway.
Still reeling from the events of the first season, the girls try to recover from what's happened, whilst Leah (Sarah Pidgeon) tries to convince them of the truth of their accident. Meanwhile, on another island, the same experiment is undertaken with a similarly aged group of boys, to act as a control group. However, as with the girl's group, Gretchen (Rachel Griffiths) has influenced the selection of the party.
What I liked particularly about this season was that it didn't take the obvious storyline route of showing the boys as less capable than the girls. Indeed, it calls this idea out by having Gretchen want this to be the case to "prove" her research. The boy's group is, in fact, immediately more organised and successful than the girls were, until they're torn apart by the actions of one of them. Speaking of which, I was impressed with the way they handled that complex scenario and the complicated reactions of characters involved. Again, as with the first season, the boys feel like real people, with various shades to their personalities, rather than easy cyphers or tropes.
The cancellation does mean that there's not really a proper resolution to the series as it's clear that a third season was at least hoped for. I still would recommend the series to people though, even with that knowledge, as the cast are so good and the storylines leading up to it complex, grown up and addictive.

[6.6] The "joker"

Warning: Spoilers
And we reached the end of the final episode of the final season of the series.
Bright acting by both the girls and boys groups, semi-good storyline plots, awesome music throughout and especially the one running through the credits and a sad and suspenseful cliffhanger in the sense that nothing would ever do justice to their big efforts, nor give them and us a proper clue after two whole seasons.
Kudos to both groups, their characters shone, as well as the bright actors behind them, on their own and the shows' terms. They did a memorable job and I hope that another network picks up the show for a third season, wrapping up the lose ends for the pleasure of the series' fans.

This season invites new characters and while the new characters are no where near as amazing as the girls/original characters they provide more insight and experiments! This episode is a series of ups and downs with a huge cliffhanger that needs answers. The entire episode you think you know what's next but you never have it right and it's so interesting to watch!
