The fantasy drama had fans glued to their screens each week to see what happened next in Westeros, and many experts predicted that we <a href="https://www.insider.com/game-of-thrones-cant-be-replicated-2020-11">might never see another show quite like it</a>. </p><p>But "Yellowjackets," a suspenseful new drama from Showtime, is changing the game in many of the ways that "Game of Thrones" did.</p><h2>'Yellowjackets' is must-watch <keyword id="11898468" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="tv" source="Orion">TV</keyword> that demands live viewing</h2><p>While the two series have little in common thematically or in terms of plot, viewer experience and fandom reaction has been surprisingly similar.</p><p>"Yellowjackets" follows a group of talented teenage girl athletes (the fictional Yellowjackets soccer team from a high school in New Jersey) who get stranded in the Canadian wilderness after a plane crash in 1996. The show juggles multiple timelines, jumping forward to show just how the survivors are grappling with the aftermath of their 19-month ordeal 25 years later.</p><div type="image" title="Yellowjackets" height="1536" width="2048" msid="88777399" hostid="261"></div><p>Like "Game of Thrones," however, each episode of "Yellowjackets" ratchets up the tension and mystery, leaving viewers wondering just how, exactly, the girls ended up turning to cannibalism in order to survive (a shocking twist that's immediately revealed in the show's premiere). The suspense-driven storyline makes it imperative to watch new episodes as soon as they premiere, lest you get spoiled on Twitter.</p><p>The show has also inspired a <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Yellowjackets/">very active subreddit</a>, where hardcore "Yellowjackets" fans pore over seemingly innocuous details (like entries in a character's diary, or a T-shirt worn by a different character) and develop theories about the show's central mysteries. </p><h2>Beyond the thrilling, twist-filled mystery at its core, 'Yellowjackets' is prestige TV filled with great performances and a killer score</h2><div type="image" title="Juliette Lewis and Christina Ricci in &quot;Yellowjackets&quot;" height="1200" width="1600" msid="88777402" hostid="261"></div><p>Aside from the fact that "Yellowjackets" is very much the return of appointment TV, it's also got an amazingly talented cast.</p><p>Melanie Lynskey, Juliette Lewis, Christina Ricci, and Tawny Cypress all play adult versions of the teenage Yellowjackets. But their younger counterparts — including Sophie Thatcher, who is very much making a case for the resurgence of the shag haircut, and Jasmin Savoy Brown, perfectly capturing her character Taissa's resilience — also hold their own. </p><p>It's fascinating watching a group of teen girls struggle to survive the wilderness, and the foreshadowing at the beginning of the series only increases the dread viewers feel as winter looms and the Yellowjackets' supply of food dwindles. And in the present day, the surviving members' rush to uncover a mysterious blackmailer (who may or may not have murdered one of the people stranded with them) adds even more suspense to the present-day narrative.  </p><div type="image" title="Melanie Lynskey on &quot;Yellowjackets&quot;" height="2133" width="2844" msid="88777404" hostid="261"></div><p>There's also the show's soundtrack to consider.</p><p>The music featured includes '90s gems from Hole, Portishead, Liz Phair, Mazzy Star, and more. Coupled with the typical teenage drama that the Yellowjackets find themselves in even while trying to fend off wolves and avoid starving to death, the show occasionally has moments that would feel more at home in "My So-Called Life" than "Lost." And that unexpected combination of genres and tones completely works here.</p><p>Ultimately, though, "Yellowjackets" defies easy comparisons — it's simply appointment TV at its finest. With painfully relatable characters, an enthralling mystery, and a gruesome survival tale all wrapped into one excellent series, it's not surprising that the show has garnered a vocal niche of fans online and is already <a href="https://variety.com/2021/tv/news/yellowjackets-season-2-showtime-1235135028/">renewed for a second season</a>. </p><p>If you're looking for your next must-watch weekly-release drama, this is it. Stop wasting your time, and start watching "Yellowjackets" immediately, please.</p><p><em>"Yellowjackets" episode nine, "Doomcoming," will air Sunday at 10 p.m. ET on Showtime, and the first eight episodes of the season are also currently <a href="https://www.sho.com/yellowjackets">available to stream on Showtime</a>.</em></p>

No, 'Game of Thrones' wasn't the last hurrah for 'appointment TV' — meet 'Yellowjackets,' the suspenseful new Showtime drama captivating viewers every week

<img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/58fa5adf7522cafa078b54f0-936/undefined" alt="The Leftovers 32 HBO final" /><p class="source"><span>HBO</span></p><p class="caption">"The Leftovers."</p><em>Warning: Spoilers for the most recent "The Leftovers" below.</em><p>If there's one thing the HBO series "The Leftovers" has proven over its brief three-season run, it's that the show loves to shock.</p><p>And Sunday's episode was no exception. From the revelation that there might be a way for Nora (Carrie Coon) to see her departed family (the news was delivered to her by none other than the departure-faker and "Perfect Strangers" star Mark Linn-Baker) to that old guy on the tower finally dying, there was a lot to absorb.</p><p>But if you're a fan of the legendary hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan, you were given quite a treat.</p><p>When Nora got her cast taken off in the episode, we saw that she has a tattoo of the Wu-Tang "W" symbol on her forearm. We learned when Nora visited Erika (Regina King) that she chose the tattoo to cover previous tattoos of her kids' names.</p><p>Erika then revealed to Nora that one way she's kept her sanity after her daughter Eve (Jasmin Savoy Brown) died was buying a trampoline. We then saw the two on the trampoline in slow-motion while the Wu-Tang song "Protect Ya Neck (The Jump Off)" played.</p><p>It's just the latest masterful music choice from the show. Though many of the ideas come from the show's cocreator Damon Lindelof and the writers, the person who goes out and clears the song rights is the show's music supervisor Liza Richardson.</p><p>When Lindelof first brought up to the idea of the Wu-Tang song to Richardson last February, she wasn't confident. <br /><br />"I said, 'Famously impossible, but let's try,'" Richardson said about getting rights.</p><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/56735772dd0895fa768b45ac-1000/d-65.jpg" alt="Wu-Tang Clan" /><p class="source"><span>REUTERS</span></p><p class="caption">Wu-Tang Clan.</p>Wu-Tang songs are so hard to clear because they use a lot of samples and there are so many writers for each song.<p>Lindelof had his eye on a song from the 1995 album "Liquid Swords," a solo album by Wu-Tang member GZA.</p><p>Richardson looked into all the songs on the "Liquid Swords" album. It took her close to two months, but she was able to clear the rights to the songs "Liquid Swords" and "Living in the World Today." The track "Shadowboxin'" (featuring Method Man) was also in the running, but there were issues with the samples on the song that held it up.</p><p>Richardson was also able to get the rights to "Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing ta F--- Wit" from their debut album, "Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)."</p><p>Lindelof eventually decided on "Nuthing ta F--- Wit." Or so Richardson thought.</p><p>"They changed the scene to Erika and Nora bouncing on the trampoline," she said.</p><p>Lindelof now had three new songs he wanted Richardson to go after: "C.R.E.A.M." (from "Enter the Wu-Tang"), "Triumph" ("Wu-Tang Forever"), and "Protect Ya Neck (The Jump Off)" ("The W"). All three cleared and "Protect Ya Neck" was chosen for the scene. The track cost the show $30,000 to use.</p><p>Richardson said the music in this episode - from the Wu-Tang track to the episode opening with the "Perfect Strangers" theme song - is a perfect example of why she loves working on the show.</p><p>"The variety of music we use is so refreshing," she said. "Like the harp piece at the end of the episode, how often do you get that? In most shows it would be covered with score but we used instrumental music. It's unusual and I think it's killer. This show has been a big left turn for me and I hope I have another chance to do something like this."</p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/1_-3Bh1VFI8" frameborder="0"></iframe>            <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/conjuring-movie-lawsuit-warner-brothers-ed-lorraine-warren-annabelle-james-wan-2017-4">Warner Bros. might have to pay $900 million if it can't prove ghosts are real</a></h3>                                    Please enable Javascript to watch this video
