YELLOWJACKETS
YELLOWJACKETS (trailer here) finally premiered on SHOWTIME this Sunday! Off to a foreboding start, the series switches back and forth between the traumatic past and present of a group of high school soccer stars who survive a deadly plane crash and resort to cannibalism while stranded in the vast snowy wilderness of Ontario. People are calling it a gender-flipped LORD OF THE FLIES, but I have high hopes that it’ll be much more. The ingeniousness of the casting of each character’s adult counterpart is unmatched, with stars including Melanie Lysnkey, Juliette Lewis, Tawny Cypress, and Christina Ricci. I can’t wait to see where this one goes. You can check out the first episode for free here.
