Personally I liked it at first, and hated it by the end. I expected a survival story with supernatural elements, like Lord of the Flies but with girls. Seemed like a cool premise.
Instead it’s basically a soap opera in the woods. It’s so unrealistic it ruined everything for me. The girls always find food exactly when they need it, they always have their hair and makeup done, they always have clean clothes, they focus on throwing a party instead of do anything to get rescued. No illness, no poison food, no bugs, no predators or wildlife until they need to kill something to eat, then animals just magically appear. There is no survival element to it at ALL. They act like bored girls at summer camp instead of plane crash survivors.
Even Lost made it feel like the characters actually had to survive while still balancing the supernatural elements.
If you don’t like it now, it only gets worse.

The difference in the aesthetics and behavior between how the girls react and look when stranded between Yellow Jackets and The Wilds is drastic. So much better in The Wilds where they gave the characters chapped faces, dirty and tangled hair and they didn't decide to have prom.
