Lost And Yellowjackets:

Fans might remember the six seasons of Lost, a series that took a whole generation on a wild, incredible journey full of amazing secrets. What made this so thrilling for fans was its complex mysteries, all sorts of characters, a mind-boggling time travel feature and of course, some super creepy horror elements. And when Lost ended back in 2010, many wanted to find a similar series that gave them this same sort of adventure!

After Netflix brought all six seasons of Lost to their platform, it gave its fans the incredible show, Yellowjackets. The premiere of this show first appeared in Fall 2021 on Showtime, however, the series made its way onto Netflix, three years later. If you have seen a glimpse of it, or just started to check it out, now's your time!

It might just sound familiar but Yellowjackets gives audiences an impressive series that doesn't repeat what fans saw with Lost.

  • What they did have in common? A plane crash

But they have unique moments that will stand out. The story follows a team of talented, driven young soccer players who are on their way to an event to really prove their amazing skills! Their flight gets caught in a deadly, unpredictable moment.

With the help of the coach who will do anything to save his team!

After they survive their crash in a truly rugged and isolated part of the world: the Canadian wilderness, there are only the kids and the coach! And as they struggle to live on in such a remote, unforgiving location the show also brings their story to 2021, so it's filled with more. What's more, there's some Mystery and an epic mystery surrounding the survivors as they deal with everything they experienced when they escaped those harrowing events.

Those who went through a really, intense experience, sometimes will carry their traumas into the next stage of their lives. Yellowjackets highlights this! In this, the show delves deeper and brings even more Supernatural chills.

There's more to Yellowjackets than just an epic, scary mystery about survival! While many see a similarity to the "island" themes of Lost. What stands out, are the complex stories that this show uses to show viewers how real this all truly is.

  • In this incredible show, fans get an exciting journey back in time and into a wild and dangerous environment.
  • Fans also get to see just what these events create in people's lives.

Yellowjackets even more closely takes elements of classic literature!

  • It uses themes from "The Lord of the Flies."!
  • However, it goes so much further with a chilling gothic style, one that might just leave you reminded of "Twin Peaks."!

That's an amazing way to create new expectations! While many are saying this might be a way to replace Lost for viewers, they can appreciate how compelling these two series are, and how much they bring to the Supernatural genre!
