Delving into the finale twist that not only are the girls \u201cstranded\u201d on an island as part of some sick, well-funded experiment but there\u2019s a <em>second<\/em> island populated with a group of boys, this mystery box show now unpacks more of its vast puzzle for us. And unlike <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lost<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (this is certainly one of the more successful <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lost<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">-inspired shows\u2014looking at you, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">La Brea<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), <em>The Wilds<\/em> better at periodically doling out answers to its many questions, keeping us simultaneously satisfied and hungry for more. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s impossible not to compare<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The Wilds<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to the other current show involving a plane crash and a group of teenage girls, d<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">espite the fact that the series are very different with their own specific vibes. But while Showtime\u2019s <i>Yellowjackets<\/i><\/span><i\/><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is about teenagers being torn apart (ahem, cannibalism) by the most horrific circumstances, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Wilds<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is about how a set of girls, mostly strangers to one another, come together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Indeed, that\u2019s the theme of this round. The previous season ended with the massive cliffhanger of Rachel (Reign Edwards) being attacked by a shark while swimming in the ocean and her twin sister, Nora (Helena Howard)\u2014secretly a double agent for the experiment, <em>gasp<\/em>\u2014running in to attempt to save her. We pick up right where we left off, and as the girls grieve in the wake of a tragedy, they become what Leah (Sarah Pidgeon) terms \u201ca family.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It turns out that watching the girls find joy and love, take care of one another, and beat back their own personal demons is just as entertaining as any of the strife that dominated Season 1. Watching formerly-in-the-closet Shelby (Mia Healey) and Toni (Erana James) explore their fledgling romance is a highlight, as is the unexpected friendship between Leah and Rachel, who bond over their mental-health struggles. Even just small wins, like convincing mother hen Dot (Shannon Berry) to take a day off and relax, are so rewarding. There\u2019s still plenty of bickering, work to be done, and danger to be faced\u2014whether Martha (Jenna Clause) and Nora are still alive in the post-\u201crescue\u201d timeline is one looming mystery\u2014but the group displays real unity this season. In a strange way, they\u2019re happy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Things couldn\u2019t be more opposite in the boys\u2019 camp. It\u2019s revealed early on that something catastrophic happened to have gotten them \u201crescued\u201d early. As we wonder what it was, the sociopathic Dr. Gretchen Klein (Rachel Griffiths) and her associates running the experiment also try to find out as they, like last season, interrogate these subjects. The show flips this season between the girls on their island, the boys on their island, flashbacks to the boys\u2019 backstories, and the post-\u201crescue\u201d facility. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This season\u2019s main flaw: It\u2019s spread thin\u2014inevitable but unfortunate. The timeline on the boys\u2019 island moves much quickly than it did on the girls\u2019 island, and the result is that we don\u2019t live and die with every development, and the relationships between specific characters remain surface-level. The flashbacks especially suffer. In contrast to the extremely specific girls\u2019 backstories depicted in Season 1, these remain more vague, some merely implying the struggles these guys have gone through. For example, it\u2019s mentioned that Scotty\u2019s (Reed Shannon) family used to have money and now live in poverty, which is pretty generic. Of all of them, Seth (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Society<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019s Alex Fitzalan), who im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely emerges as a leader due to his deceptively positive attitude, feels the most lacking, which doesn\u2019t do his character any favors. The series does an admirable job of juggling all the different balls it has in the air, but it is slightly less focused, and thus less impactful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The person at the center, though, is still Leah. On the island, she continues to search for proof of a conspiracy behind the plane crash and tries not to let her obsession unravel her (with varying degrees of success). In the \u201crescue\u201d facility, she enacts her plan to make contact with the boys, having discovered in the final moments of the Season 1 finale that they\u2019re also part of the experiment. She is dogged in her determination to prove what is happening and gain freedom. None of this would work if Pidgeon wasn\u2019t giving an immensely strong performance, ranging from manic to resolute, her large expressive eyes conveying volumes in every frame. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In putting together pieces of the puzzle, Leah is the key, and a number of twists are in store, as only this show knows how to give. Some of them already populate fan theories, others are shocking but fit into the show\u2019s perfectly constructed framework, and one calls back all the way to the pilot, upending what we thought we knew. It shouldn\u2019t be any surprise that the season ends on a massive cliffhanger\u2014a perfect lead-in to a third season. All I can say is that Prime Video had better renew this addicting thriller, lest we remain in agony forever waiting to find out how this saga ends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>The Wilds<\/em>, Season 2 premiere, Friday, May 6, Prime Video<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
