Plot: Season 2 ups the drama and keeps you guessing, with the introduction of more test subjects – a new island of teenage boys – who must also fight for survival under the watchful eye of the experiment’s puppet master.

Season 2 of The Wilds was Okay.  

Pros: I enjoyed all the moments that the  boys and girls were having  conversations on their separate islands. This season took me a few days to complete watching it. I like the friendships slowly come together on their time on the island. And after watching this it did feel like Cast Away meet Lost.   

Cons: It took some time to get know what was happening at times,with all the switching into the past. Every episode went a little  too long and there they won’t be any more of this show. (Spoiler Alert).
