10 TV Shows That Embarrassed Other Shows Released At The Same Time
6. Yellowjackets EMBARRASSED The Wilds
There is a long and rich tradition of TV shows about people getting stranded in harsh environments.
Gilligan's Island. Wrecked. That one with the weird smokey thing. You know the one - it was called "Misplaced" or something like that.
Two of the newer entries into this esteemed heritage are Amazon Prime's The Wilds and Showtime's Yellowjackets.
The Wilds was the first to premiere, hitting the streamer in late 2020. It's about a group of young women who, guess what, get stranded on an island after a plane crash! Although this one is actually part of a sadistic social experiment.
Ooooooh.
As for Yellowjackets, this one doesn't feature an island at all! Instead, its split across two timelines as a group of female soccer players crash-land in a forest in Canada.
Both shows are good, don't get us wrong, but Yellowjackets just about edges it in terms of quality and recognition. It's been nominated for and won way more awards than its counterpart and is much more popular if the Internet is anything to go by.
Amazon must have realised this, as they put The Wilds out to pasture in 2022 after just two seasons.
Hopefully somebody went and picked up those actors...
