So many questions from FROM season 1! These 15 are not even all of them…īesides being terrifying, of course. Wayward Pines had Abbies (short for Abberations), which, as TV Guide so perfectly described them, were “genetically evolved humans that are the perfect carnivores.”įROM has… Well, it’s maybe not the first question I’d start my list with, but since the topic has come up, let’s begin there. Yet, FROM is also very much its own beast.Īh, beasts. (And from what I’ve seen so far in season 2, it’s continuing the trend.) And in some cases, it was seasons before we got answers!įROM season 1 very much started out like that. And that’s why I’m not sure I would’ve wanted to let myself get sucked in by FROM if I’d had a glimmer that, like Lost, it’d be a case of “here we go again.” Each week, more mysteries, more questions.

So that explains why there are similar overtones. I didn’t realize until after I’d finished FROM season 1 that Jack Bender, an executive producer for both Lost and Under the Dome, was involved in producing this mind-bending series created by John Griffin. (Both the series and the streamer, both of which I’m digging so far.) It took me until just before the premiere of FROM season 2 to finally break down and subscribe to MGM+ to give it a go. “Michael.” Maybe that should’ve been my first clue. The first thing I noted was the familiar face from Lost, Harold Perrineau, a.k.a.

The trailer piqued my interest immediately. Speaking of…Īm I going to regret giving FROM season 1 a shot and letting myself get addicted to it? Would I have watched if I knew who was responsible for making the show come to life before starting it? Where are they and how did they get there are among the huge questions central to the main premise of the series. In FROM‘s case, or Fromtown, as Eion Bailey (who plays Jim Matthews) termed it in an interview, it’s much more like Wayward Pines. If you haven’t, it’s one of those intriguing, ensemble-cast thriller-mystery series like Lost, Under the Dome, or even Wayward Pines, where people suddenly find themselves stranded somewhere.Įxcept, in Lost and Under the Dome, their location was less of a mystery. If you’ve watched it, maybe you feel the same? I’m hooked on the series, which isn’t perfect but is a lot of scary fun.

That’s not one of the official questions I have, but it definitely is one. FROM season 1 ended with a cliffhanger and left a lot of unanswered questions. The second season of the horror series FROM premiered on MGM+ on April 23.
