My first reaction to reading this show's premise was "Great, another Lost close." After watching the pilot, my reaction was "Hell yeah-there's finally a good Lost clone!" This show has managed to capture all the best elements of Lost but with a better balance between past and present. Unlike the ever-growing list of other Lost clones (e.g., Terra Nova, I-LAND), Yellowjackets has the cast and story to back it up. The comparisons to Lost are many-a plane crash in a mysterious place, weird people with weird secrets, a continuous story arc told in two timelines, mysterious/spooky things lurking in the dark, etc. However, Yellowjackets manages to stand on its own with a great cast and intriguing story. This show has a lot of potential-I'm hopeful they can even one-up Lost by sticking the eventual landing.
