Shrugging off the Lost comparisons for the most part, there is plenty of entertainment to be found in From – even if it occasionally feels more generic than some of its inspirations.
-
Jack Bender, the director of the first four episodes, has fun with this well-worn trope. It is the kind of show in which Jim brakes hard and says: “What the … – ?” When there is a tree blocking the road, Tabitha says: “Why is there a tree blocking the road?” It must be the storm, says Jim. “That’s one selective storm,” she replies. Of course it is, Tabitha. It is a spooky-ass zone where the laws of nature don’t apply.

Derivative yet eerie existential thriller. [14 - 27 Feb 2022, p.7]

Given the long history of mystery-box shows better at teasing ideas than delivering them, such skepticism isn’t necessarily unwarranted. And yet, From offers enough glimmers of promise that it’s tough to write off entirely.
-
“From” maintains the audiences’ interest because of Harold Perrineau’s acting. He believes in the character and so does the audience. But like many of the shows it’s inspired/imitating, depending on your view, it spends too much time setting up its world and not pushing the story forward.

May 27, 2022Starts off promising, but by a few episodes in it's crystal clear that the writers have no plan and are just making stuff up as they go.

Mar 16, 2022Tired cliched premise. Terrible writing, terrible acting. Cheap crap expensively shot.
