The Wilds Season 1 is a good example of that shift. I would love to say that the shift in television to include more progressive characters - ones who aren’t just straight, cis, and white - has resulted in better, more robust, and more nuanced storylines. I would love to say that the mistakes made in The Wilds Season 2 didn’t remind me of two other shows that are also almost good which has forced me to spend the next 2,000 words unpacking all three shows and their failed attempts at “woke” plots. I would love to say, “ The Wilds is good!” and keep it moving. I would love this month’s answer to be simple.
What’s Good? Usually this column’s opening question isn’t so existential.
