I genuinely liked the show and binged it in one day. It is a needed distraction! It was a blend of Lost and the 100; both of which I liked. If you don't like YA dystopian/survival shows or books, it may not be for you.

I really liked this show, seems like most of the bad reviews didn't bother watching through to the end. Lots of unexpected twists and a cliff hanger that left me waiting for a season 2. The acting was a bit cheesy, but it's a YA series...what did you expect?

I think most of the bad reviews are based on the first episode. Some say they didn't even watch until the end of the episode.

Give it a bit of time. It's not always about instant gratification. The episodes get better and the story develops at a nice pace.

I am upset as another wonderful series gets the ax. I wish shows that have high ratings and dedicated viewers continue to be dropped.

The streaming services NEVER explain why. And again, a cliff hanger, to boot! Prime, not happy with you!!!!

This show deserves another season after that cliffhanger we got at the end of Season 2. The cast and characters deserve their closure/ending. Not to mention, The Wilds portrays more than a handful of varying representations across different groups such as the LGBTQ+ community, Indigenous people, the Black community, etc. It's clear as day that this show means a lot to the fans; all you have to do is look at Instagram and Twitter to see the dedication and hard work the fandom puts in to try to get the show renewed/picked up by another streaming service. Amazon Prime Video will forever be my #1 public enemy now. Give The Wilds one more season (one more chance)!

Yes this show has some unbelievable and silly aspects to it, but it's entertaining and every episode kept me wanting more. It's very bingeable!! The acting was quite good, season one is better than the second but I enjoyed both.

Why did I like this show? Was it the best show ever? No... But it was good. It was fun to watch and it kept me intrigued. The bad reviews written 24 hours after the show came out... (are you serious?) they probably watched one episode and then stopped to complain. IMDB users are so hard to please these days. A show produced by Amazon is never a 1/10 get your head out of your booty. :)

It really is. I mean of course it has its flaws but it's an amazingly entertaining series with both drama and comedy and a great cast of newcomers. Also, representation matters and this show has tons of it, it's so refreshing. Really wish I had had a show like this while being a teenager, it's a real shame it has been canceled, I really hope it will get picked up. Really worth the watch in any case.

This is one of the only coming of age shows that has LGBTQ+ and indigenous representation. Fans are loyal, invested, and want a conclusion to their favorite series. We need a third season!

Considering there were reviews left here almost instantly after this series hit Amazon prime, there is no doubt that those reviewer's did not watch 10 hours/10 episodes before leaving their scathing reviews. If you can't bring yourself to watch an entire movie/series before giving your opinion, maybe you should just not say anything. I personally really enjoyed it. Is it the greatest series I've ever seen? Of course not but I still found it enjoyable and look forward to the next season.

UPDATE: Avoid season 2 at all cost.

This is such an important show for queer women, Indigenous women, women fighting mental health/eating disorders, and all women! One of my favourite shows absolutely phenomenal.

Decent watch, but not great. The concept is a bit different because it focuses on teen girls stuck on an island -it's like a Lord of the Flies meets Lost, but with Teens. You do have to get past the first episode to start enjoying it and it does get a bit better. I was entertained but could have also easily have given it a miss, there was nothing profound or groundbreaking that happened and although there were diverse characters with varying backgrounds, they were hard to relate to.

I think a lot of the negative reviews are because it takes a few episodes to get into it, understand it and mainly because the majority of the characters are unlikable. Most of them (aside from one or two) have little to no redeeming qualities and are irritating beyond belief. I don't know if it's intentional but most of them are horrible, and despite having "reasons", they're portrayed in a way that makes it hard to feel compassion or relate to. A few characters also don't quite make sense, the major plot has a number of alarming holes but maybe these will be addressed in the subsequent season. There is some bad acting and after a few episodes I now understand what the reviewer who said it's for a reason, meant. I do also have to say, as much as I despise Leah, the actress who portrays her gave a great performance - she plays unhinged brilliantly. I also think Fatti is underrated.

Generally, I feel like they missed an opportunity to do more with this type plot- There could have been more suspense, drama, more character development and more interesting questions on ethics. All in all if you have time to kill it's not awful but it really is anything great or even that I'd feel comfortable recommending.

Loved this show!! Not only do you get to experience the characters development on the island; you also get to experience what brought each character into this situation. I love to guess what happens in a show/movie and this is one you can not predict. There were some obvious pointers as to whom the confidants were, but their behaviors on the island were quite surprising and not predictable at all. I truly enjoy the range of characters they created and how it expresses psychological analysis of characters. There are characters to empathize and hate, empathize and love, and just a complex dealing of love and hate. I recommend this show to anyone I know cause I enjoyed it so much and I can't wait for another season!

But it wasn't good either. Somewhere in between. The characters are wayyyyy too extra. No character is more annoying than Leah. Leah can easily replace the girl on the crazy ex gf meme. If they would have dialed the characters down about 25 percent, it would have been better. The plot is just a bit silly and kinda pointless, but I think the show is more meant as a character study. It somehow strangely keeps your interest, so good on them for that. The girls are all pretty good at acting their parts and were believable in their rolls, even though they were directed to be over the top a lot, and I mean A LOT.

Bingewatched the 2 seasons in 3 days. The girls are definitely the best part of the show, and the boys were harder to connect to (and not as likeable) but I'm excited to see where season 3 will go.

Started watching this show just to pass the time, but ended up being really invested in the girls' storylines. Watch it if you want to watch a series with a focus on badass girls who are relatable and realistically portrayed.

It's a niche show just like every show is it does what other shows don't do it provides diverse representation and that representation deserves to be on screens.

10/10 amazing and incredible. The best queer and poc representation I've ever seen. Such strong and talented actresses especially considering this is almost all of their first roles. It's so unique and interesting. I've gotten ten people to watch and they are all HOOKED.

The show is amazing and has very relatable characters. There is a character for everyone. Especially after the second season when the guys were introduced. However it was sadly left off on a cliff hanger. I hope someone else will pick up this great show!
