Oh, the Places We'll Go

Alright the season finished not too long ago now, it ends with more questions than it answers but it's a pretty decent season. We learn so much more of where they're stranded but nothing to help us understand it better. Probably did it for the suspense to have us eager for s2. I increased my rating from a 6, not the best show out there but it's a good horror watch. It didn't give out any answers but so much more is uncovered which leads to several possible storylines for the next season. If it follows this trajectory it's gonna end up being a really good show. I don't think they'll end up finding their way home anytime soon, I think there's too many stories left to tell from the small stranded community, and like many shows that had similar dilemmas, they'll milk them and then several seasons later spin a story where they all get out or open up to a bigger world. Like what happened with "Westworld" in S3 or "The 100" when they were stuck in that bunker or "snowpiercer" when they brought along Big Alice. They open up the scope of the series to allow for more stories to take place. But for now, "From" still has a lotta stories to tell in that small community and I think season two will take place in the same town, hopefully it'll focus more on giving us a better idea of the creatures and everything else creepy about the show.

I see a lot of negative reviews for this episode based solely on the fact that it didn't answered all the questions surrounding the show. It really makes me wonder if people watching the show realized that this is not a mini series and that a new season is coming? I just hope that those people were just confused and not truly expecting the answers to be revealed in the first season.

Tied up in a bow? Every trailer and advert is that this is like Lost so why do people expect answers. It was always going to create more questions and it did that exquisitely. Gripping, tense and so intriguing my only negative is that I watched this series so fast I have a HUGE wait for series 2.

The show wastes too much time on personal relationships within the town. I can see doing that for the first few episodes, but zzzzzzz already. I actually fast forward through those parts and have never felt like I missed something important.

I would be surprised if this series gets renewed, which is unfortunate because it would be cool to know what is going on.

I don't get why there are so many bad reviews on this episode. I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I thought the episode was really good. I think a lot of people had high expectations for some big climax to happen, but instead we get multiple smaller happenings. This is not a action packed fast paced show (never has been) so if you're expecting a finale like that, you should have known better. It's a character building show with some creepy twists and lots of mystery and it's amazing. Now, I will admit some of the scenes are just a bit slow and they might drag out the character relationships a little, but I think that is important in any show, as it makes future events between characters more meaningful. Excited for next season!
