'From' Is the Best TV Show You Just Started Watching

Petr first reviewed From way back in 2023, and it sort of hovered on my radar for the better part of a year, right up until I ran out of new stuff to watch and the series popped up on Prime Video a few weeks ago (the series began on Epix before Epix became MGM+, which Amazon owns). Around the same time, several others on staff — including Tori and Nate — also coincidentally began watching From. Statistically speaking, I suspect a lot of people have recently discovered it on Prime, and the question is: Did you end up subscribing to MGM+ to watch the second season before or after Amazon made the second season available for free?

Either way, if you’re not watching it, you should be watching it. The best way to describe it is that it feels like Lost if Stephen King wrote it — and it also happens to star Harold Perrineau from Lost, Jack Bender from Lost directs about half of its episodes, and Stephen King has been promoting it a lot on social media. It’s a great horror series, it is madly addictive, and there are still 12 days to catch up before the third season begins. Trust me: Once you start, it will be hard to stop.

If you haven’t watched the first two seasons, here’s where you get off. If you have, did you know there’s a third season trailer out now? It’s been out for a month, but I missed it because I hadn’t started watching the show when the trailer was released, and now all I want to do is start watching season three! Y’all know I don’t like to watch screeners because I like to watch along with everyone else, but I damn near broke my rule for this. But no: I’m hoping a lot of folks get caught up before September 22nd, and we can watch and write about it a lot over the coming weeks. It’s a lot of fun.

Here’s the season three trailer. Ignore it if you haven’t watched the first season, although you can watch that trailer here.

From returns to MGM+ on September 22nd. For what it’s worth, Prime Video is offering a deal on an MGM+/AMC+ dual subscription if you also want to watch season two of Interview with a Vampire after you got hooked watching the first season on Netflix. Along with Evil, these are the three best horror shows on television.
