Happy New Year, Therese! I’m four episodes into season one of “From”, and I want to know if you’ve ever watched it. Definitely got some “Lost” vibes about it, and I’m not just saying that because of Harold Perrineau. I don’t remember where I first heard about it, but after discovering that my current cable bundle includes MGM+ (who knew?!? I had no idea that existed, either), I started watching. It’s pretty good! Plenty of mysteries already, and characters I want to know more about.
Oh yes, I know all about ‘From’ though I’ve only seen the first half of season one. It’s VERY ‘Lost’ heavy: Jeff Pinker, who wrote on both ‘Lost’ and ‘Fringe’ is the showrunner; Javier Grillo-Marxuach, who was a fan-favorite writer on ‘Lost’ for the first couple of seasons is a writer; the bulk of the episodes were directed by Jack Bender, one of ‘Lost’s most prolific directors; and there are other writers and directors who have connections to ‘Lost’-adjacent shows, ‘Fringe’ and ‘Once Upon a Time.’
As for why I haven’t watched all of it — I didn’t have MGM+ for a long time; I watched the first 4 or 5 episodes on Prime when they were added for a free preview, but then the rest of the episodes were pulled before I could finish it. I really enjoyed the little I saw, but then all the rest of TV piled up and here we are. Will definitely get back to it, ASAP thanks to all the good reviews, including yours!

I’ve been pushing From to anyone who would listen since I saw episode 1. It’s so, so good! At some point I have to pony up for MGM+ to watch the new season.
