	Author	Review
United States	Kristen Baldwin Entertainment Weekly	"[2nd Season Review]: A new group of castaways and more emotionally complex storytelling further elevates Amazon's addictive YA survival series in season 2."	POS
United States	Tim Surette TV Guide	"[2nd Season Review]: Season 2 of The Wilds loses much of what made Season 1 great. It's weighed down by too many characters to develop and not enough time to do so"	NEU
United States	Lauren Chval AV Club	"[2nd Season Review]: The good news is that the women of The Wilds are still intriguing, dynamic, frustrating, and accessible. The bad news is we get way less time with them."	POS
United States	Chase Hutchinson Collider	"[2nd Season Review]: Someone needs to get these kids some sunscreen and a better story."	NEG
United States	Ann Donahue IndieWire	"A bold, empathetic entry in the dystopian genre (...) Relatable, relevant, and important."	POS
Ireland	Eoghan Cannon entertainment.ie	"In summary, 'The Wilds' takes various elements of TV shows and movies that we all know and love (...) and mashes them all together to create something fresh here"	POS
United Kingdom	Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"It’s 'Lost' for teens. It’s 'Lord of the Flies' with girls. It’s the 'Breakfast Club' with an apocalyptic twist (...) It’s a 10-part series called 'The Wilds' and resistance is futile (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"It’s a bit rocky sometimes in its midsection when it comes to pacing and the entire ensemble isn’t exactly equal, but I was pretty much hooked by the second episode"	NEU
United States	Kristen Baldwin Entertainment Weekly	"Consistently engrossing (...) The writers skillfully weave urgent island dilemmas with each character's personal challenges."	POS
United States	Daniel Hart Ready Steady Cut	"Suspend your disbelief and allow the character development to consume you — 'The Wilds' is an addictive teenage thriller that will leave audiences provoked (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Caroline Framke Variety	"[It] works best in this mode, i.e. letting its teens be recognizable teens. But when it broadens the story to include the nefarious forces that may have landed them on the island, 'The Wilds' loses its focus almost entirely"	NEU
United States	Joel Keller Decider	"The girls who have to fend for themselves on this remote island are so well-defined that we’re finding ourselves intrigued by how they’ll change during their time together."	POS
United States	Tim Surette TV Guide	"One of 2020's most enjoyable surprises (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Liz Shannon Miller Collider	"'The Wilds' is a hell of a ride, and the only downside is that in these uncertain times of production, a second season isn't necessarily guaranteed"	POS
