“#’Yellowjackets’ Combines Survival Thrills With a Contemporary Mystery<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Words designed to be eaten later in regret: \u201cAs long as nobody does anything crazy, we have nothing to worry about.\u201d Maybe Shauna (Melanie Lynskey), one of several survivors of a notorious tragedy 25 years earlier, isn\u2019t aware that Juliette Lewis \u2014 the embodiment of lunacy in so many film and TV projects \u2014 is playing one of her former companions in peril.<\/p>\n

Yellowjackets<\/i> is a luridly intriguing melodrama about a fictional state-champion team of female high-school soccer players whose dreams of national triumph crashed along with their private plane, which went down in a northern wilderness in 1996. Seemingly inspired by the 1972 crash of a Uruguayan rugby team in the Andes, the Showtime series<\/a> toggles between a disaster\/survival story with disturbing Lord of the Flies-<\/i>like flashbacks\u2014desperate teens descending into tribal rivalries and animal savagery over 19 months \u2014 and a contemporary mystery in which the adult survivors\u2019 suburban veneer and vows of silence begin to crack when someone starts dredging up their secrets all these years later.<\/p>\n

Many roles are doubly cast, young and older, and it\u2019s fun to see them evolve: Shauna (played as a teen by Sophie N\u00e9lisse) is the elite student-athlete who matures into a seemingly mousy and unhapp<\/a>y wife and mother \u2014 but beware the rabbit that strays into her garden. While adult Shauna learns to let her hair down, we\u2019re introduced to her more obviously twisted counterparts: Lewis as the unhinged Natalie, once a druggy wild child (Sophie Thatcher) from an abusive home, and Christina Ricci\u2019s deceptively chipper Misty, bullied when she was the resourceful team manager (Sammi Hanratty), now paying it back to unruly patients at a nursing home.<\/p>\n

Early on, we see that the girls are killers \u2014 on the soccer field, anyway \u2014 especially the arrogant Taissa (Jasmin Savoy Brown as a teen), who stirs up headlines as an adult (Tawny Cypress) when she runs for state office. Suddenly, a reporter with shady credentials is asking, \u201cSo what do you think really happened out there?\u201d Wouldn\u2019t everyone like to know? Turns out a political attack ad with a cannibalism punchline could be the least of her problems.<\/p>\n

These unsavory hooks make Yellowjackets<\/i> an appropriately suspenseful companion to Showtime\u2019s rebooted Dexter: New Blood<\/i>. Not having seen the entire season, I won\u2019t assume that the teammates who haven\u2019t reappeared yet as adults are necessarily dead. I only know that as disaster thrillers go, this is a lot less embarrassing than NBC\u2019s cartoonish La Brea<\/i>.<\/p>\n
