What do you think? Are you looking forward to the return of From to EPIX?
This is one of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time. After watching so many remakes and predictable shows and movies, it’s wonderful to watch something so totally original. I loved the the first season and the end of the season finale left me wanting more. I can hardly wait for the 2nd season!
It’s a very imaginative and just plain fun entertainment with some pretty darn good acting. Reminds me so much of Lost only newer, better and a lot scarier that I binge watched the old Lost series. Harold Perrineau is a favorite actor of mine, as is his wife. A killer cast on this show, and it only gets better. I’m very happy such shows exist. I get tired of the same old formularic TV shows that are all somewhat similar, like all the crime dramas, even though I watch all them as well.
For me, the two TV shows that deliver the most genuine and original frights are “From” and “Evil.” Glad to know we will have more of both of them.
