Final season's coming later this fall and I figured I should actually finish the show properly instead of continuing to half-follow the discourse without context. Started from episode 1 a few weeks back and I'm now fully hooked in a way that's making me irrationally upset I didn't start this years ago when it first became a thing.
The dual timeline structure is doing so much more work than I expected going in, I assumed it'd feel like a gimmick after a few episodes but the way the adult timeline mysteries and the survival timeline horror feed into each other keeps escalating in ways that feel genuinely earned instead of just mystery-box padding for its own sake.
Trying to actually finish catching up before the final season premieres so I can experience it in real time with everyone instead of avoiding threads for months after the fact. No spoilers please for anyone who's already all caught up, but curious what the general consensus has been on how the show's handled its slower stretches, since I've heard mixed things about pacing in the middle seasons.

Yellowjackets is so good.
