The Wilds TV Thread

[David76]

I watched 2 episodes of The Wilds at the weekend.

It's about a bunch of teenage girls from different places who are on their way to some retreat in Hawaii when their private plane crashes. They end up stranded on an island in the middle of the ocean. So far, so Lost, but..... interestingly, it opens with one of the girls being interviewed by a police officer and a councillor about what happened on the island. So we know immediately she's made it back alive. So then there are flashbacks to her on the island on day 1 and her life before she was sent on the retreat. The second episode opens with one of the other girls and it plays out the same except her island flashbacks are day 2.

I wasn't really sure about the first episode, some of the dialogue sounded like a 40-year-old writing for a 17-year-old and it was just a bit off-putting for a while but the island stuff had me interested enough to keep going and by the end of episode 2, I'm really liking it.

Amazon have been doing a good job at building a bit of buzz around this and it's getting great reviews. Adding to my watch list.

I really enjoyed this. It's very binge worthy. They give you enough information to keep you watching and make you feel smart when you figure something out before it's revealed, but there are multiple reveals that genuinely shocked me throughout. I'm really hoping for a S2 because there are a lot of unanswered questions at the end.

I see The Wilds has been renewed for S2, thankfully. So many questions at the end of S1. It films in New Zealand so hopefully there shouldn't be too much of a wait between seasons.
