FROM
Details
Imagine a nightmare hidden under the guise of an ordinary town in a remote corner of America. One path will lead you there, but no path will lead you out. FROM is built precisely on this existential despair; it is a rare production that deeply unsettles the viewer, captivating and overwhelming at the same time. This series, written by John Griffin, masterfully explores the psychology of being trapped. The journey of every newcomer to the town, which begins with the question "How did I get here?", gradually transforms into the cry "How do I get out of here?" But the real question is neither where they came from nor where they are going; the real issue is what this town wants from them. Throughout the series, as you get closer to the answer to this question, you find yourself immersed in an even deeper uncertainty, and this feeling is highly deliberate. The sheriff character, played by Harold Perrineau, becomes the centerpiece of the story, embodying both strength and vulnerability. This man who holds the town together is also a person on the verge of disintegration. The rest of the cast also supports this delicate balance; no one is truly a hero, no one is truly a victim. What sets FROM apart from other supernatural thriller series is its originality in setting the atmosphere. Drawing from the folk horror tradition, the production blends Lovecraft's cosmic horror concept with small-town dramas. The beings that emerge from the forests at night are not just an element of fear; they also feel like the embodiment of human helplessness in the face of things that they cannot make sense of. The series does not offer easy answers. Every episode raises new questions, every clue is shrouded in another mystery. This structure may challenge the impatient viewer; however, it promises profound satisfaction to those who can tolerate uncertainty. The pace is slow at times, but this heaviness is a deliberate choice; to allow the oppressive atmosphere over the town to permeate the viewer as well. The production, which is rated with an 8.4 rating on TMDB, manages to move forward for four seasons almost without losing any momentum. If you're looking for a combination of horror, mystery, and existential questioning, you won't easily escape this town.

As a fan of “Lost,” I was intrigued when I heard that some of the same people were involved in the new EPIX series “From.” Unfortunately, the show doesn’t live up to the expectations set by “Lost.” While it starts off incredibly promising and has a unique feel, the lazy writing and subpar acting hold it back as the season progresses. The unforgiving gore and genuine horror element that the show first offers are among its most distinctive features, but even these begin to wear thin as the seas...
on progresses. By the time I finished the first season, I couldn’t help but feel underwhelmed. Although a second season is in the works, “From” barely does enough to keep me returning for more. I would probably tell my past self not to watch it if I could go back in time. Even though I’m drawn in by the mystery, I’m worried about the show’s future. The writing is reminiscent of J.J. Abrams; the writers are adding mysteries at whim with no idea how to resolve them. Intriguing at first, but the poor writing soon began to sour the experience. If you enjoy mysteries, you might want to give “From” a shot, but be aware that it features subpar acting and a superfluous plot that will make you lament the wasted opportunities. It’s far from bad, but it’s also not particularly noteworthy given the calibre of television we’ve been spoilt by in 2022. ___ [From] - Season One: 6.6/10 (Fair)

A solid 10/10 series from a storytelling perspective. Honestly, the trailer didn't attract me that much, but I decided to give it a chance, and after the first 3 episodes, I couldn't stay away from this show. What fascinated me the most was the people behind this series because the story is exceptional; I found myself deeply engaged with the characters, trying to find an escape route along with them. I quickly finished the first two seasons, and now I have to wait for season 3, but I can't wait ...
for it to come out. I have an idea of how the next season could be based on the ending of season 2, but my mind is not as brilliant as the minds of the people who created this show. If you enjoy series that make you think and deliver a guaranteed outcome for you, only to completely change the situation and leave you in suspense and mystery, then this is a great show to watch.

**_No Spoilers_** Knowing some of the same people involved with LOST were working on this is what got me to watch it. First season there were definitely more questions than answers but that's not a bad thing. It keeps you wondering what's going to happen next and how the heck at they going to get out. I think the current 3rd seasons has really upped the game with a story line on the 'outside' and inside which gets you thinking how it's all connected. Season 3 also seems to take some pretty...
big steps in answering some questions we've had in the back of our minds for the first 2 seasons. I hope they learned their lesson from LOST and don't let it drag on like that and wrap up the story in 5 seasons, 6 max. **I highly recommend** it for anyone who enjoys a good mystery/drama but the horror aspects might be a little much for some. Even though it does add to the suspense and terror knowing you might lose a character at any moment who you've been rooting for or just enjoying their storyline so far.

The story follows a group of people trapped in a mysterious town that no one can escape, where terrifying creatures emerge at night. What makes From stand out is its ability to build a constant sense of dread without relying too heavily on jump scares. Instead, it focuses on atmosphere, character development, and the slow unraveling of the town’s secrets. The performances are solid, especially from the lead characters who portray fear, confusion, and desperation in a believable way. The pacin...
g can feel slow at times, but it helps deepen the mystery and keeps viewers engaged with unanswered questions. Overall, From is an intriguing watch for fans of suspenseful horror with layered storytelling and an eerie, unsettling tone.

Literally one of the dumbest shows I've ever had to see. Completely aimed at stupid gullible people. If you're continuing to watch this slop you're either unemployed or a complete moron. Actually I'd bet my next mortgage payment you're both.

I hate Tabitha's character. I find her doing and saying stupid things. I also have a problem with the bottle tree. I remember Victor saying this tree is special because it leads you to the lighthouse, but when Dale entered the tree, he ended up stuck on a wall and died. That didn't make sense. Anyone who enters that tree should've gone to the tower, not somewhere different. Even if they are able to get to the tower, they wouldn't know what to do next so they won't get away anyway, unless they ju...
mped from the tower, or maybe they need to be pushed by the boy in white for them to go home. Who knows what are the requirements! But they shouldn't have changed that fact just so no one can go home and continue the story.
