“The Wilds” is full of spoilers, so I’ll keep the specifics to a minimum, but Season 2 extends the addictive drama, answering old riddles while opening up plenty of new wormholes to venture down.
This well-written and fantastically performed series is full of “Lost”-like mysteries, but the draw is watching how the girls endure and govern outside the confines of a patriarchal society. The group are in fact part of a social experiment by Gretchen Klein (Rachel Griffiths), a deranged researcher who uses them as unwitting lab rats for her “Dawn of Eve” program. If you loved “Yellowjackets,” then it’s time to binge Prime Video’s psychological survivalist tale “The Wilds.” Now in its second season, the series focuses on a group of nine “troubled” teenage girls who were on their way to a wellness retreat when their plane crashed, leaving them stranded on a deserted island. Five seasons were produced between 20, the last two under the title “Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories,” and are all available to stream.
Apart from the individual stories, the series captures what it’s like to have a place you like to eat and things you like to eat there. Some episodes end with a brief demonstration of the episode’s signature dish - never anything fancy but obviously magically delicious. Food matters - we see it prepared, we watch it eaten, we hear it talked about sometimes it plays an integral role in the story we are seeing.
