After a solid opener and a firecracker of a second episode, Yellowjackets season 2 starts to meander in its third installment. The final scene of last week's episode was always going to be a hard act to follow, but the pace has well and truly slowed for now and it feels like the show is floundering a little in episode 3.
For one thing, the episode is peppered with flashbacks of assistant coach Ben (Steven Kreuger) pre-crash and his inability to juggle his work with his long-term relationship. Unfortunately, Ben is not a very compelling character, and these scenes feel pretty unnecessary in the grand scheme of things (sorry, assistant coach Ben).
