I finished series one of Yellowjackets and, I dunno, I really enjoyed it I suppose but I was frustrated by the way it finished without really answering any of the questions you had from the start. In fact, if anything, it actually created a load more, and that makes me worried that the programme is just gonna keep on going like that, raising more and more intriguing questions in the all important quest for more series. I really don't want to get strung along by something that just never goes anywhere, with each revelation just unearthing more questions and no ultimate resolution.
It actually feels like a real dilemma, the programme is undeniably a lot of fun to watch. The set-up is good, the characters are great, with even background characters often turning out to have a little bit more to them than you might think. There are a few characters I didn't like, but luckily most of them are dead by now. The atmosphere is dark and creepy and that allows the odd moment of pitch black humour SPOILER I laughed out loud when Lorelei's plane blew up spectacularly /SPOILER. The problem is, I've been stung before by series that got cancelled (eg Lodge 49) in the middle of the story line and I'm starting to think that there is a real issue here with the way shows are commissioned, they are almost encouraged to leave viewers hanging in the name of making them demand more series, but at the same time, ruthless schedulers can just cut them off if they are not popular enough. And this means that there is a much higher chance than there ought to be of your programme being ended in the middle; every time you start a new series you are betting on it being finished satisfactorily. I'm wondering if it might be better to only watch series after they have concluded and you know that you are not at risk off wasting the time you invest - though if everyone took that position of course, all the series would be cancelled before getting that far.
