On the surface, the ’90s settg is s most effective weapon. It was a “simpler time” full of inic albums and movi and tchphras and band T-shirts that rema livg parts of our memori. But was also a time when beg openly queer / gay wasn’t accepted, when cloyg stereotyp had a much stronger hand shapg teen social dynamics, when thgs were awkward and gngy. </p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-ponent"><p class="duet--article--dangeroly-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leadg-160 -trackg-1 selectn:bg-ankl-20 dark:text-whe dark:selectn:bg-blurple [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-ankl dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&_a]:shadow-unrle-black dark:[&_a]:shadow-unrle-whe">All of this ‘90s tnip is a rose-lored yearng for how we munited before smartphon and TikTok, and for high school girls, a huge part of this is a vlent opera of hormon and a lot of spontaneo psychic damage to the people around them. The show’s creators, Amy Lyle and Bart Nickerson, are really, really good at wieldg this brand of emotnal nostalgia, and as a rult, the way we talk about <em>Yellowjackets</em> is ultimately, for me, a lightful regrsn back to my high-school self. It really is like ridg a fucked-up bike.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-ponent clear-both block"><div class="duet--media--embed m-h-[270px] mb-20 w-full"></div></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-ponent"><p class="duet--article--dangeroly-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leadg-160 -trackg-1 selectn:bg-ankl-20 dark:text-whe dark:selectn:bg-blurple [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-ankl dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&_a]:shadow-unrle-black dark:[&_a]:shadow-unrle-whe">A few crics have poted out, rightly so, that all the speculatg and all the theori ultimately don’t mean anythg. The real beatg heart of <em>Yellowjackets</em> isn’t really about pickg apart Jackie’s temporally qutnable diary entri or the sual Hole song signed to send me straight back to puberty. That’s all set drsg and theatre. And as fun as is potg out when Shna rocks a Yo La Tengo shirt, my takeaway om this whole experience is far more masochistic. </p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-ponent"><p class="duet--article--dangeroly-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leadg-160 -trackg-1 selectn:bg-ankl-20 dark:text-whe dark:selectn:bg-blurple [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-ankl dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&_a]:shadow-unrle-black dark:[&_a]:shadow-unrle-whe">After the fale, while wag for a iend to rpond to my wall of “lottie wtf” texts, I almost fell over shamblg om the bathroom wh my pants around my ankl to snatch my phone. Sure, we n blame a b of that on panmic life, but the mad hormonal urgency wh which we need to discs and dissect each episo every Sunday night is a time mache straight back to the lirium of high school phone ssns. </p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-ponent clear-both block md:float-left md:mr-30 md:w-[320px] lg:-ml-100"><div class="duet--article--article-pullquote mb-20"><div class="mb-10 h-[22px] w-[65px] bg-ankl"></div><p class="duet--article--dangeroly-set-cms-markup relative bg-repeatg-l-dark bg-[length:1px_1.2em] pb-8 font-polysans text-28 font-medium leadg-120 trackg-1 selectn:bg-ankl-20 dark:bg-repeatg-l-light dark:text-whe dark:selectn:bg-blurple">Yellowjackets is a llective fever dream</p></div></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-ponent"><p class="duet--article--dangeroly-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leadg-160 -trackg-1 selectn:bg-ankl-20 dark:text-whe dark:selectn:bg-blurple [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-ankl dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&_a]:shadow-unrle-black dark:[&_a]:shadow-unrle-whe"><em>Yellowjackets</em> is a llective fever dream, a streamed microdose to brg out the bt and worst of our past selv. It’s a meticuloly-signed mirror that reproduc the nros of high-school teenhood: the small, fierce securi; the volnic outbursts; the shiftg allianc. When we see Jackie starg daggers at Shna gettg close to other girls, I n remember jt how that whe-hot paranoia and jealoy feels my bon. Shna and Jackie’s big fale showdown is built on the social ruals and power dynamics of every archetypal popular-girl story ever told — the kd of stuff that fueled the all-girls boardg school I went to and the kd of stuff you outgrow (hopefully) and shed like a sk. In harnsg this power, <em>Yellowjackets</em> do somethg sacred and brgs back all of that angst and energy to channel to s viewers.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-ponent"><p class="duet--article--dangeroly-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leadg-160 -trackg-1 selectn:bg-ankl-20 dark:text-whe dark:selectn:bg-blurple [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-ankl dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&_a]:shadow-unrle-black dark:[&_a]:shadow-unrle-whe">It’s not jt a show about the visceral pas of teenhood (nor the limbo of adulthood) but the paper-th membran between trma and PTSD and hysteria and realy. On a very basic level, the show is an exploratn of figurative and leral terrs and exterrs, peppered wh the sort of dark humor that shar a satiril herage wh <a href="><em>Heathers</em></a>. It’s a simple formula: mix one part horror / spense wh gnarly gore, a sprklg of dark jok, and one part drama wh a particularly allurg flavor of retrospectn that sucks the viewer like a force of nature. At the same time, don’t take self too serly, which is s savg grace. It’s msy and melodramatic as hell, and if you thk you were any better than this high school, you’re a liar.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-ponent"><p class="duet--article--dangeroly-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leadg-160 -trackg-1 selectn:bg-ankl-20 dark:text-whe dark:selectn:bg-blurple [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-ankl dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&_a]:shadow-unrle-black dark:[&_a]:shadow-unrle-whe">In the fale, we e back to Allie at the Yellowjackets’ 25th high school rnn, still tryg to sert herself to the narrative, ridg high on her posn as class chair. It’s full circle — the Yellowjackets’ story as a form of parasocial muny lore, the survivg group objectified as a kd of aspiratnal trma porn. It back to the way people talk about all, which we replite betifully, almost gleefully as spectators. From a theatril standpot, ’s one of the most effective psdo-participatory shows I’ve mted to a long time, and ’s wild to thk was ma part as proof that girls n be as btal as boys <em>a la</em> Lord of the Fli — genr sentialism asi, high school girls are powerful mons, and you n bet 2022, they absolutely know .</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-ponent"><p class="duet--article--dangeroly-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph mb-20 font-fkroman text-18 leadg-160 -trackg-1 selectn:bg-ankl-20 dark:text-whe dark:selectn:bg-blurple [&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-ankl dark:[&_a:hover]:shadow-highlight-blurple [&_a]:shadow-unrle-black dark:[&_a]:shadow-unrle-whe">This wouldn’t be a real <em>Yellowjackets</em> post if I didn’t ve and name a theory to end this all on and that ’s that our human sacrifice victim was possibly Lottie (tall-ish, long dark hair, last bearer of Jackie’s necklace). We’re supposed to thk Lottie is still alive at the end of the season, thanks to her name beg dropped the last 30 sends of the fale — but <em>Yellowjackets</em> clearly still has surpris up s sleeve. The fact that was ially sold as a five-season show is a ltle ncerng; this isn’t the sort of story that benefs om beg drawn out too long. Still, when to the way speaks to s dience and prompts to dissect s bon among ourselv, <em>Yellowjackets</em> is dog somethg really special right now that I haven’t seen or felt years.</p></div></div><div class="mb-40 mt-30"><button class="duet--article--ments-button group le-flex h-40 w-full ems-center jtify-center round-[2px] borr-[1px] borr-solid borr-blurple font-polysans-mono text-11 font-light upperse trackg-12 text-blurple hover:bg-blurple hover:text-whe md:w-to md:px-30"><svg class="mr-10 le pt-2" width="12" height="14" fill="none" viewBox="0 0 12 12" stroke-width="1px" xmlns="><tle>Comments.
