![]() That’s all awkward and uncomfortable enough, but things get much more dire with a catastrophic environmental disaster leads to a massive flood that turns their school property into an isolated island detached from any humanity that might have survived the flood. Many of these women haven’t seen each other for years and immediately have to confront old expectations and assumptions about them as well as conflicts that never had much closure. But I’m interested in those surface-level commonalities they share, both because I think it’s interesting to consider how little tweaks of tone and scope can shift a familiar premise and because I want more people to watch Class of ’07 so that it might get a second season and am hoping a Yellowjackets comp will do the trick.Ĭlass of ’07 kicks off with a ten-year high school class reunion at an all-girls Catholic private school. And it manages to stand on its own quite well. Yes, it’s very different than Yellowjackets. In fact, Class of ’07 is absurdist in its approach to a survival story, a loud, gross, goofy, fun, and often surprising show that isn’t trying to be as serious or scary as Yellowjackets and yet still finds little pockets of compelling and deep character- and relationship-driven storytelling. While I’d call both horror-comedy, Yellowjackets is heavier on the former, while Class of ’07 is heavier on the latter. I admittedly hesitate to compare it to Yellowjackets as its tonally and structurally vastly different. This is not Yellowjacketsbut rather Class of ’07, an eight-episode apocalypse-comedy series out of Australia available on Prime Video. ![]() The Autostraddle Encyclopedia of Lesbian CinemaĪ group of women who went to high school together end up stranded in the wilderness, must consider cannibalism in order to survive, are eventually pushed to the edge and throw an end-of-the-world bacchanal where all hell breaks lose, all the while scored by a soundtrack that alternates between great songs of a certain era and a score of women vocalizing hauntingly. ![]() ![]() LGBTQ Television Guide: What To Watch Now. ![]()
