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...

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 this show, it takes a long time to answer questions and when they do more pop up. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

The first season was intriguing, a somewhat creative premise that showed a lot of premise. But by the third season you start to feel like they are dragging it out with no particular motive.

Season 3 was basically 8 hours of boring drama and 10 minutes of new plot elements. The new elements are not even interesting. They are just there to add to the queue of unanswered plot lines. To make things worse the dialogue seems to have been reduced to mere vowels,. It is there simply to fill in time as the show searches for a premise.

The show suffers from same problem as Walking Dead, repeating and recycling same plot lines until they become completely ineffective. Now that the main characters have acclimated to their environment, they walk around freely and even regularly interact with the 'ghouls' . The scary monsters no longer add any tension , instead they feel like a sideshow, abandoned from when the circus has left town.

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.

A very good idea for a sci-fi, although variants have appeared before.

B grade execution (direction, acting) and spent a lot of 'filler' time dragging things out for series 2.

UPDATE - SEASON 3: Be warned if you never watched this, you'll get no answers or satisfaction, only pointless weak drama. "Can't wait to se what happens" - nothing happens, despite season end cliffhangers, nothing ever happens and when it rarely does, it's stupid.

It's still the same stuff, no plot progression, only more and more random stuff happens. There are few small spoons of something in the last episode of season 3, but it's pretty dumb. Everytime characters decide to do something, they actually don't do it most of the time. It's interesting how they made all characters actual filler because they have no idea how to move the plot and try to make sense with it and stuff that previously happened. I don't think I ever saw that. Adding even more dumb characters in season two and three didn't help that at all.

Season 4 got greenlit somehow, apparently people are watching this, maybe. I can't wrap my head around it, the show is bad. I hatewatch it, maybe others are too.

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.

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 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?

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.

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.

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?

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.

This could be a great horror because it has a good plot. At first I was like "finally a real good horror show". But it goes on too slowly and the actors are just really bad. After 2 seasons, it hasn't given us one clue about what's going on, only more and more questions! It's like watching a drama with bits of horror and thriller here and there. You can't stop watching because you're too curious to see what happens but it feels like you just never get an answer. I am going to continue watching but I just really wish they can end it well because honestly it feels like the writers don't really know what they're doing.

Having seen the 1st 3 episodes i can say that I will surely be here for the entire season and beyond if they get another. It's been solid. Good story good characters good monsters. I like the premise. I personally haven't seen much problem with the acting as some people have said. Give it a shot.

The writer of this series are just imagining and creating mysteries and nothing....believe this series at its 3rd season & still mysteries shown in series are not solved....there is no answers what is going on ....when it seems that the single mystery will be solved.....they create new mysteries and the previous mysteries remains unanswered...they have just created a mess. Other thing that irritates so much is its editing ...you know ....you will be in a intense scene and in one second they will took you to the other scene....believe me...that is much more irritating.....the 3rd season I'd going on and still the same syoryline ...exactly ,the same storyline is going on in it.......listen me ....DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME.

Even though there's still too many unanswered questions and season 3 hasn't been quite as good as the first two seasons 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. They keep finding new creative ways to keep the show interesting. Each season adds new characters and how they react to being stuck there. 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 third season and while not quite as good it continues to entertain.

Love it. It's different and creepy it's going to be a good one I can tell! I like the actors. Some shows the actors aren't great but they are on this one.
