‘The Wilds’ is for every young woman who’s felt brutalized by their teenage years
Amazon Prime’s “The Wilds” is the perfectly harrowing, heart-pounding escape that everyone needs to experience. Released in December 2020, this show tells a winding tale of how eight high school girls from different backgrounds get stranded on a deserted island. At first glance, the show seems something of the caliber of “Lost” and “Lord of the Flies.” While true that this show features some good old survival tropes as well as some thrilling twists, “The Wilds” takes the whole genre of ‘stranded on an island’ to the next level by digging into the nuances and complexities of teenage girl life.
