I have loved this show so far and the acting and mysteries etc. Are definitely very cool.

However I am starting to get a little worried that this is going very much towards the "Lost" vibe.

While "Lost" was also a fantastic show in terms of acting, directing etc. In the very end what annoyed me was how much of the mystery was there just to be mysterious.

Watching the second season, I kept finding myself a tiny bit annoyed whenever yet another weird mystery was introduced, be it a symbol, object, thing, event... mainly because I can't stop myself from thinking "Will this be relevant in any way in the long run? Is this just one of those there's-a-mysterious-fog-creature or hatch or light etc. That is never mentioned again or explained in aaaany way, ever.

Because that kind of mystery writing eventually just ends up annoying me, since the writer can reach into their behind and pull out absolutely anything and never circle back to it.

"Ok next there's a llama in a red hat that whispers the words "paleontological" and "spatula"!" aand that's it, forgotten one season later, no explanation, it was just there to be weird.

Still, will keep on watching, but if this has an ending one day where it's just on the level of "it was all in his head!" and there is no attempt at even tying some theme-logic towards all of it, then consider this review at least 2-3 points lower...

This show was so so so much better than I expected. I thought that the whole premise didn't have much potential, but then it was something else. However, I am still left with so many questions that need to be answered especially after the last scenes of season 2 finale (which isn't necessarily a negative point). I just think that we deserved at least a few answers before having to wait for season 3. But I've got to say that after the finale, I was mind-blown!

I just hope that the creators of the show keep it at this level and why not even improve it. I'm tired of good shows getting completely messed up by creators. This one has potential. If all the questions are answered logically and interestingly, and if we get an intriguing ending which includes everybody going home, this will surely be one of the greatest shows out there.

Very intriguing series. Good storytelling. Good characters as in most of them have common sense. Good horror tv. Gory as heck in parts. Lots of mysterious things to ponder. I very much enjoyed season 1 and hope they make another. There's not many good horror tv shows out there anymore. This is a good one imo.

I wasn't sure what to expect from From. I've read everything from it's like Lost to it's a generic horror version of Lost. Lost is one of my favorite shows ever and the reviews for this have been mostly positive so I figured I'd give it a try and I'm glad I did. I was hooked from the first episode to the last. I'm so glad they already renewed this because there are so many unanswered questions still. That's probably the only negative thing I have say about his show, that it didn't offer enough answers in the first season. It takes a little time to really get going but once it does you'll be addicted and want to binge it as quickly as possible.

Way better than I thought it would be based on some of the negative reviews on here. So good that I binged the first two seasons during a long weekend. Can't wait for the third season to come out. Great premise for a show with some similarities to shows like Lost and Wayward Pines, but different enough that it didn't feel like I was watching the same show. I definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys horror/mystery type shows with some gore. Very enjoyable and fun watch. I just hope it gets more seasons, or at least enough so we get answers to all of the questions I still have. One of the best shows I've seen in awhile.

I'm writing this for the writers and producers of the show:

Please don't turn this into another "Lost"-another disappointment. You're heading straight for the same trap. None of the characters communicate with each other or share what's happening in town. It's as if they've suddenly become clueless, deliberately withholding important information that could help them understand what's going on. And this is so annoying.

Also, in every single episode, something new happens, but it's never explained. I've watched 14 episodes so far, and nothing has been clarified-just like "Lost."

So please, writers and producers, don't ruin this one too.

I like the idea of the series but way too much made up drama and filler from lazy writing. The director is a big problem as they do things like have the little boy get a severe leg injury. The kid isn't horrible but he can't use a crutch or limp to save his life. Not really the kids fault, he hasn't built up the coordination to do it. But how is it that episode after episode we watch him limp on the wrong leg, use the crutch on the wrong side and or leg? At some point don't you go another direction? Why couldn't the mother (who is possibly the worst actor in the show) be the one with the injury? Anyone but the kid who can't do it? Then you have the boss lady of Colony house. She somehow manages to remain angry and fat for years even though the food is 90% plants. She seems to believe that the loudest person in every situation is the correct one which is almost never the case in life. More lazy writing, everyone who ever holds a knife and gets touched or grabbed automatically spins and "accidentally" stabs the person behind them! This is used several times- sooooooo lazy and unlikely. The Sheriff, his son and his son's girlfriend along with the paramedic do a good job for the most part, but it's easy to see they won't ever resolve how to get home because that would be the end. They are going to milk this until it dies- the ending will either be just fading to black with no answers or a planned ending which this does not appear to have. My recommendation is to watch a few of the 1st series, then wait to see how they tie it up. Why invest yourself in a series that appears to be going nowhere?

Even though there's still too many unanswered questions and season 2 hasn't been quite as good as the first season it's still worth watching. Overall, From is every bit as good as all the hype surrounding it. It was definitely a lot better than anything I was expecting. Even though there is horror and some gore in it, this show is so much more than just some horror show. I know a lot of reviews have compared it to Lost and while it's nowhere near as good as that show I can see where they get the comparison. It's a very clever show that has a lot of unknown and mystery to it. Every answer we get just leads to more questions and I'm worried that there's going to be more questions than answers but so far it has been a fun show to watch. I just started the second season and while not quite as good it continues to entertain.

Godammit the pretext of the series is very intriguing but the delivery is very annoying. I don't care about the people and their growing relationships. All the while they are leading ordinary lives nobody is trying to figure out what the enemy are & how to beat them.

The electricity thing is just stupidly odd. It's just a totally random thing thrown in to a supernatural plot. None of them are trying to apply any logic to the situation and find ways out.

Food is magically plentiful in the local restaurant. I mean come on. It's treating the audience line idiots at this point (last episode).

I wont watch a second series unless someone tells me something actually happens in it. Yet another series with oodles of potential dies on the heap of crap drama bs.

I am really enjoying this series, really hanging out for every episode. Very surprised by the negative comments and reviews, calling it boring. I found it anything but, great acting, and an excellent script. Perhaps it's the Squid Game generation, just wanting to see lots of poeple killed for no particular reason other than greed, and not having to think too hard. Granted there isn't much action in the first couple of episodes, but lots for character building and back story which is intriguing. It's hard to say too much without givng things away, but lots of twists and turns and shocks along the way. If you enjoy good storytelling with, despite comments to the contary, plenty of horror and shocks thrown in, this is highly recommended.

Well Season 1 was really quite good with a great mystery that held my interest. It echoes reminders of the long running tv series Lost but set in a small hamlet off the beaten path along a lost highway. So the acting is great, good character development along with a creepy story of dead ghosts who only come out after dark. The real problem here is when the 2nd season kicks off and you soon realize the writers are out of ideas so they'll just turn the show into a quarrelsome soap opera of bickering villagers. The story devolves into nonsense and not much plot to follow as different folks go through the motions of how to escape their hellish town. And the ending is just a totally cheap copout. You'll be wanting to throw a brick at your TV when you see the last scene. Yikes, it's so poorly done it makes you feel you wasted your time watching the series. Therein lies the rub.

Few episodes in of season 2 and I'm getting pretty annoyed wtih this show.

Just like LOST, mysteries are piling up, but not one single resolution, hint of an answer and explanation or even a move in forward direction is presented. For Season 2, they just expanded all that by dumping much more people in it.

While I can excuse first season slow burn and lack of any satisfying anwers - and I mean lack of ANY - the stuff they pulled in the last episode with various cliffhangers and possible revelations, just fell apart in episode one of this season.

Almost anything that is happening is not important for the main plot. Character arcs are mostly empty, uninteresting. Those same characters act like most irrational, uninterested and dumbest people alive.

Everything is tropey, boring and tempo of each episode is criminal. Just when you think something is going to happen, to propel story and plot forward - it ends. Then in the next episode it turns out it's nothing of importance and it just goes like that in circles. It's all filler.

Even damn intro is lasting forever, eating time.

Some shows have a overall arc that is just a backdrop for all the happenings in the show. Like Leftovers, and it works. Here however, there is really only one plot point of interest and everything else is unimportant filler and fluff. Yet they insist on that instead dealing with the main plot. Even things concerning the main plot are fed us via teaspoon in the worst, unsatisfactory way possible. Even then, time between those is pretty damn long time.

I don't know if I'm going to finish season 2, but it's getting pretty frustrating. Which is a shame, because main plot is interesting, but I'm suspecting that except that main concept, they have no sensible or satisfying resolution and are just going to string us around until either show gets cancelled or we get some dumb, slapped on ending, just for the sake of ending it.

For the time being, I can't recommend.

From is a show built on suspense, mystery, and constant tension in a town filled with secrets. But by Episode 6 of Season 3, fans are starting to wonder: how long can the show keep us guessing without giving us any answers?

This episode brings all the usual creepy vibes, and the characters remain on edge. Yet, despite being deep into the third season, we're still left with more questions than ever. Instead of giving us any real answers, it feels like the show just adds more layers to the mystery.

If From keeps holding back without revealing anything, it might end up losing viewers who want at least a glimpse of the truth. Right now, the mystery is still gripping-but we're all waiting for a little more light in the darkness.

I never heard of this until a few weeks ago until I saw a promo for Season 2 so I decided to give it a shot.

I've finished the first 7 episodes so far and I'm hooked.

I can't wait to see where it goes. Hopefully the writers had a story arc in mind when they first started so we don't get into a LOST situation where the show just starts spinning it's wheels without any direction.

I should have the last 3 episodes of Season 1 completed by the weekend. Then I can start Season 2.

How do I see so many short reviews when I have to keep typing and typing to get to the minimum number of characters?

The preview looked like a hodgepodge of several different shows like Wayward Pines ,Lost and a little Under the Dome thrown in. I expected it to have a vague storyline after seeing that it's produced by the same makers as Lost but it has a solid storyline and the characters are likable. While not perfect, it does have suspense and is good enough to keep me hooked. A pleasant surprise.

If you liked the early seasons of Lost, early Wayward Pines season 1 when it was still mysterious, Society, early The Walking Dead and so on I think it's worth at least the seven day free trial of MGM Plus to try the first couple of episodes out and you may end up really enjoying the whole season as I did.

As others have mentioned, I felt the need to binge it straight through from beginning to end in a couple of sittings which I haven't felt the desire to do with a show in quite a while.

As others have also pointed out, some of the minor characters' acting is a bit lacking, the budget is clearly tighter than desired while not being too tight, and the plot may ultimately end up going nowhere, but for now I am still definitely looking forward to season 2.

I don't usually have the patience to sit through a movie, much less a series, but this one has me hooked. The story itself is so different from anything I've seen and has great pacing. The acting is pretty great, and the characters are memorable. I love the mystery horror focus, and the bizarre monster aspect is refreshing. Every episode has something important in it, without anything feeling rushed. Even the world building feels solid. You're given enough information and time to guess what's going to happen next, only to get hit with a twist in almost every episode. This series is intriguing and addictive and I think it's wildly underrated. I love this series and would absolutely recommend it to fans of the monster horror genre.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this tv-series. It's like Lost and Supernatural hade a baby, a generic horror version of Lost. I was hooked from the first episode to the last, and season two ending is a hell of a cliffhanger. The the only negative thing I have say about his show is that it didn't offer enough answers in the first season. It takes a little time to really get into but once you do you'll be addicted and want to get more and more out form each episod as quickly as possible. Season two is were you get more answers and things starts really to kick off, Ive just finished season two and I can't wait for season three to come out.

This was a small surprise as in I expected it to be a horrible 2/10 but it turned out to be a decent 6/10.

The show has an interesting, albeit kinda overused premiss that works because the production value is high and most of the actors are pretty good. However there are a couple of the actors that are not so good at their job, although I am not completely sure if that is the intent yet... could be...

If you have seen Twilight Zone or an American horror story this is basically the same, just more dragged out and not as good. This is watchable (so far) but I am not sure if I can recommend this, I would rather see people watching the other two shows I mention, or perhaps check out "evil" which is a much better creepier show.

Still, it will be interesting to see where they are taking this... Hopefully it can improve.

"From" started out with a promising premise, reminiscent of series like "Lost".

Its cause was helped by solid casting and well rounded characterisations. Where it falls down, as is so often the case, is in its storytelling.

From feels like its written itself into a corner, with logic pot holes that can be not be filled in or explained away.

In other words, its not where this series is from its where its going. As its stands, there appears to be no clear destination in sight. Which might help to explain the rather aimless end to the first season.

I'll take a look at a second season, if there is one. I do predict, however, its going to be hard to overcome the unnecessary literary chains, this series has wrapped itself in.

Season 1 was fast paced, exciting and scary.

Season 2 (I'm writing this after season 2, episode 7) is stuffed with filler material. Characters have long and pointless conversations, they don't share information with each other, and there are too many fake scares. The writers haven't forgotten how to write fast paced, exciting television (see season 2, episode 6) but they choose not to do it, presumably so they can fill out the ten episode order.

The writers seem to think this is the "Lost" era of television, where audiences have to passively wait a week and accept whatever fake-outs and boring filler they produce, rather than 2023, where there are thousands of other alternatives instantly available to binge on demand

It's understandable that the production would want to take its time and milk its cash cow, but disrespecting the audience by wasting their time with obvious filler to make them come back the following week just doesn't work anymore.

Will the show make it to Season 3? Will all be revealed? At this point, I'm very close to not caring, and I regret getting sucked into this show.

I would also advise anyone who hasn't started watching to stay away. Allow it to come to its natural conclusion (if it's not cancelled after Season 2) and look at the reviews before you decide to commit your time to this show.

The majority of reviewers here leaving 1 stars have entire back catalogues of 1 star reviews that make me question if they even actually enjoy anything at all...

The show is good for the most part. Fun concept, builds suspense nicely and has a decent cast.

Sure it doesn't necessarily bring anything new or groundbreaking to the table, but why try to reinvent the wheel?

It's gripping, gory, had lots of hooks that'll grab you from the start and it's a consistently good ride through the first season.

These serial 1-star-ers need to give their head a wobble, go outside and touch some grass. Smh.

After long time i have watched this kind of horror/thriller genre series after Dark. This series hold you up till the series end. Season one is the best one it will engage you throughout the show however second series is quite slow but quite good. This is horror/thriller genre as well as you can see a family bonding relation. The way this series hold you up is quite amazing, in some place i was just holding my breath. This series is still yet to go, there will be lot more coming up in next season and i am eagerly waiting for that. I will recommend you all to experience this show. You will not regret it.

The show has good acting, a VERY interesting story, and has JUST BEGAN! I watched the first 6 episodes, and the feel and tone of the show is a bit mysterious, a bit depressing, but very interesting. It is not a huge budged show, but more along the lines of a big budged Twilight Zone episode. Great scenery, an interesting "Town", and I can not wait to see where this all goes. Everyone saying it is slow, simply want a lot of action or big reveals or cliffhanger endings. This show is paced moderately slowly, but has FAR better atmosphere building slowly, instead of the false big reveals most shows employ.
