Storytelling
I recall reading that Shonda Rhimes writes or conceptualizes the last episode of each season of Grey's Anatomy first. This season of Yellowjackets felt like the exact opposite. As though they're reacting to their own writings instead of having clear narrative they want to tell.
I liked her in Shameless but Sammi Hanratty has done some great work on this series.
The Truth Hurts
Was going to pass on the series until I read the description of Daphne,an enigmatic consultant to Irish mobster Patrick Maguire, and she didn't disappoint. I came into this show hoping for a 5 at best, now having watched the entire season, I'd give it a 6.8. Seems like they were setting up a second season that would be a cross between Blacklist and Leverage, which doesn't sound all that great. This show could be infinitely better if they went a few shades darker by dropping the romance angle, comedic cons, and Emma's family, especially with this russian spy plot.
Punch Drunk
Having the wig be the giveaway was kind of a reach. My wife has more hair than she knows what to do with and owns at least a dozen wigs which wears about 30% of time. It could have easily been explained as what it is, a fashion accessory.
Still coming, the Tennant episodes will be a special.
