I like the show overall, but I agree. I know that they need SOME filler and can't have crazy shite happen every episode. The biggest problem is that the filler isn't that great/interesting, and the acting (while improved since S1) mostly sucks.
It's actually very similar to Pluribus in terms of loads of filler between major events. The difference is that Pluribus has one of the best showrunners/directors, and TV actress in the business. The filler parts are entertaining and nice to look at. I'll happily rewatch S1 of Pluribus when S2 comes out in 2035. But for From, I'm just going to watch a ~10 minute recap when it starts back up.

I will just say that From is WAY less “all over the place” than Lost. And I absolutely loved Lost.
This is good to know. I might give it a shot then.

But it’s plenty different and if Harold Perrineaux wasn’t the lead I think the Lost comparisons wouldn’t be so prevalent.

Well damn. I was going to watch it based off everyone’s enthusiasm here.
But Lost was the single biggest disappointment for me in tv history. I loved it until the end. Yes, I fall firmly in the camp of “the ending sucked and was a huge let down”
Now I’m thinking I’ll wait until it ends and see what everyone thinks about it

Definitely agree about Lost. I believe the producers knew for a long time that From was going to be 5 seasons so they had to really stretch it out. Season 4 was by the worst and reminded of the scenes in Lost where they are just walking through the woods talking for most of an episode.

Oh shite yeah. Watched the first two seasons but kinda forgot about since it was on weird streaming

Maybe this next season they won’t mail it in like last

Am doing the free trial on mgm+ til this is on Netflix. After 1 episode, this has a very Lost feel to it. Though the first incident with the girl opening the window didn’t make a whole lot of sense. The mom knew what could happen if the girl opened the window and her inaction to stop her was pretty stupid. She made it seem like her daughter, who was not even arms length from the window, had a loaded gun or something and was trying to talk her down. Just scream and yell at her and tackle her to the ground or something. This feels more like Walking Dead in that regards…just completely stupid actions by characters.
But I liked it overall. Will keep watching.

Never heard of it. Looks interesting outside of me seeing Michael and hearing "WALT" over and over again.
May check it out next week.

Never heard of this and just watched the trailer from OP. This looks pretty good.
Definitely that Lost vibe. Lost was great for a few seasons then got really strange. Hopefully this doesn't get really weird.
I'll check it outon Netflix. So there is a 5th season coming?
Is it something a 13 yr old girl can watch?
She watched the first 3 seasons of Lost and liked it. Although I had forgotten about a lot of the adult situations and flashbacks it showed.

Ok thanks for the heads up.

Have you watched S4?
Its very similar to LOST and it has nothing to do with the lead actor IMO

Of course. I am the biggest champion for the show on this board.

S4 is the most Lost-like, no doubt. I just mean this show has been compared to it since the first episode, and I don't agree with that and think that aside from the lead actor and some vague themes they aren't very similar at all.

I'll just have to strongly disagree about the themes being vague and not very similar

You can probably follow like 60 percent of it by just watching the first 10 minutes and last 10 minutes of every episode
First 2 seasons there’s a lot of juice left to squeeze in the plot so it doesn’t feel as slow paced but the more things get revealed, the more it feels like there’s large chunks of episodes built simply to bide time because they got green lit a 5th season
Season 3 really throws down the gauntlet at the end and makes you go like “hell yeah we’re getting somewhere” and season 4 puts the skids on that momentum

Define weird.

Yes, and it should be the last I am pretty sure. So they've had plenty of time to craft a solid ending to a great show. Whether they land it or not, we'll have to see.
quote:

Depends on how much she is into horror. I'd say a 13 year old who is used to horror should be okay. The show is fairly gory at times, although I guess most of it is gore as a result of something bad happening. It's not all blood and guts onscreen (but there is some).
If she has seen slasher type movies, then From should be fine for her. Just all depends on what she (and you, for her) is comfortable with.
At this point, I'm just glad there is a thread and people are talking about the show with some interest. If this show was on HBO or Netflix, I feel like it would be HUGE. But it's on Epix/then MGM, so nobody has ever even heard about it.

Yeah I picked it up from your FROM thread. I didn’t read the thread since I didn’t want spoilers as I binged all 4 seasons about 2 months ago. It was quite the coincidence with the LOST discussion because I had started a LOST rewatch a was bit in and then paused and binged all 4 seasons of FROM and have since picked up the LOST rewatch.
I didn’t read anything about a comparison between the two, but watching them in that order, I definitely saw quite a bit of similarities between the two, especially since both very fresh in my mind. Appreciate the recommendation and hope season 5 wraps it up really nicely.
I just signed up for MGM+ from Prime for 0.99/mo for 3 months (wish I would have gotten the 4, but 3 is good) and will probably rewatch FROM as well.
