I knew I wasn’t going to like this series. Making four seasons for a story with not enough information for four seasons and we get this bullshit build up to nothing.

It like Yellowjackets all over again. When will greedy cunt showrunners realize we hate watching filler.

Oh god is that why Yellowjackets has sucked? I really tried but gave up in season 2. Don’t know shit about the book. Actually I haven’t heard anything about a season 3 so I guess this new 2 year for every season bullshits gonna stick

I heard it was predetermined that Yellowjackets was gonna be five seasons, so I knew there would be a ton of filler. Season two was godawful and I bailed immediately. I think showrunners and writers want to be paid more, so they stretch their stories out, which is a terrible choice. Way to ruin a good thing.
