Featured reviews
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.
Season 1 & 2 were lit, but they are unnecessarily stretching the episodes of season 3 which is irritating. Season 3 episode was good, but after that simply they are building up some moments that is not getting us emotionally connect with the situation and I mostly fast forwarded several unwanted conversations with the characters. It was very thrilling previously, but now became a drama which seems inappropriate. I think after the first episode in season 3, rest of the 8 episodes can be actually compressed in to 3 episodes max. May be they have plans for another season. But this method of stretching episodes are not ideal as most of the fans find it irritating, including me. Hope they corrects the issue in next season.
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'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 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...

Did you know
- TriviaThe town set was built specifically for the series in North Beaver Bank, Nova Scotia.
The site, known as the Beaver Bank Villa has a long history, and many years ago contained housing units, a community hall, fire station, school, church, convenience store, etc. (all demolished by 2004) to support the workers of a nearby military radar base which operated in the 1950's and 1960's. The paved streets and driveways were all that remained, and the fake town was built on them.
