No need to compare, they are both excellent at what they do. The common thread for both is the people who create and also fund these shows respected the source material enough to do it justice. Arcane has more leeway but they didn't shit out something compared to the recent Resident Evil show that did their own thing, but it became a teen drama which is a different genre compared to the games.

I think the buzz around Yellowjackets is a bit overblown.

So if you hear all the hype online and begin watching and waiting for the moment it gets so good that you understand the excitement, I think you will be disappointed

I watched it and thought it was cool and had enough cool mystery to keep my interest, but I don't think it ever reached a great or amazing level.

Was season 2 any good? I heard good buzz around season 1 but nothing about 2.
