Hey, I’m thinking of watching The Wilds but I feel like it’s gonna be really heavy. Can you tell me if it’s like really intense or a little more light hearted and easy to watch? Thanks!

Uh, it can be light hearted at times but each ep goes into a different girl’s backstory and they can be pretty rough, aside from what is also happening on the island. You start off with a 16 year old’s affair with this published famous author and a girl on the island dying and that kind of sets the tone. The rest of the eps can be tough to watch, especially because the premise itself is pretty cruel, but eps 8 and 9 personally were consecutive punches in the stomach, again referring to underage stuff to other characters and…I don’t know how much to spoil, but hard to watch in their own way.

I watched an interview from the blonde actress(The Wilds) talking about her approach to her character and the words she chose to describe her role made me think hmm gay. So glad I’m right. I don’t watch trailers and was going to watch anyway, but I’m still happy I was right!

Heh, yeah, it was pretty obvious from just the promo, Toni was revealed to be gay off the bat and then a bunch more clips were her and Shelby. I kind of like how clear that was, even as something technically revealed late in the season, where two of the central characters are written for that from the start.
