Pas de Deux

Mr. Harold Perrineau just shines in this episode. His stage persona and screen persona are equally dazzling..but it's a true delight to catch those moments of raw stage presence break through on the small screen. He is BRILLIANT. He evokes tragedy, humor, anger and love in a single episode and it seems to be effortless for him. He a powerful force on this cast and is the glue of the series.

Separately, this episode featured some excellent, creative writing and some gems of a performance by the supporting cast. I had to watch some of this one through my fingers since I was covering my eyes..what a rollercoaster!

Like a previous reviewer said - I keep asking questions and that is a beautiful thing! FROM is keeping me on my toes and I love it!

I think I talk for the majority of viewers when I say that episodes that drive the story forward, are better than ones in which the characters only express their feelings.

I enjoyed the car ride that was shot aproximately in one shot and casting is great, every actor does a great job.

I sense that this show needs improvement on the script though. Boyd has to defend himself and what happened in the forest way too much, given that they are literally fighting vampires. Where does "extraordinary paranormal" experience ends so that you need to defend you sanity?

I like this show, I hope it will grow, the creators will have more money to hire better writers and that everything will be explained.

Enough with Kenny's dad already!!! There is so much to this whole mystery and all we can hear of is about Kenny's dad, Kenny, Kenny's mom, Kristi and her lover. The whole action moves so damn slow!!! I want to know more about what Jade is investigating, Victor's history, Jim and his family, when is Tabitha going to tell Jim about the underground monsters, just move forward with the whole story already!!! It is getting so frustrating to watch that it just makes me google to find out what this is about. I understand shows that focus on character development, but this mystery is too good to not know more about it.

One of the greatest strengths of this episode is its ability to progress the overarching storyline in a compelling and engaging manner. The plot unfolds with precision, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats and leaving them eager for more. The narrative is filled with unexpected twists and turns, constantly surprising and challenging the audience's expectations. The pacing is expertly handled, allowing for moments of tension and quiet introspection to coexist seamlessly.

Character development in this episode is exceptional, with each main character experiencing significant growth and transformation. The performances by the cast are nothing short of extraordinary, with each actor fully embodying their character and delivering nuanced and emotionally charged portrayals. The dialogue is sharp and insightful, providing a deeper understanding of the characters' motivations and inner conflicts. This level of development and depth adds a layer of complexity to the series, elevating it beyond mere entertainment.

Visually, "Frome" excels in this episode. The cinematography is breathtaking, with each shot meticulously composed and visually striking. The use of lighting and color palettes is masterful, enhancing the atmosphere and immersing viewers in the world of the show. The production design is meticulous, with attention to detail that brings the setting to life. The visual aesthetics of this episode are a feast for the eyes, further enhancing the storytelling experience.

The music in this episode is exceptional, with a memorable score that perfectly complements the on-screen action. The soundtrack is diverse and expertly chosen, adding depth and emotion to key moments. The use of sound design is also noteworthy, with subtle details that enhance the overall viewing experience.

This episode is a testament to the exceptional writing and direction. The script is intelligent and thought-provoking, tackling complex themes and ideas with finesse. The editing is seamless, with each scene flowing effortlessly into the next, creating a cohesive and immersive narrative.

This episode was definitely an upgrade to the past few episodes for sure, but by no means saved the season. We need much more revelations and good reasons as to why the group is there and the whole deal with the creatures. It was a pretty good step in the right direction at least with the whole Boyd blood transfer to the creature. That looks like it was a peak into something about maybe how they can kill the creatures or something along those lines. Still though it hops around the same boring storylines way to much. I think we now need to find out a solid reason as to why they are all there, or at least a morsel of something that's going to lead into the rest of the season as to why. There's obviously someone watching because of that radio transmission, but that was final episode of last season for gods sake. Since then we literally have radio silence about any answers. Where did Boyd go and what are these alternate type realities they jump in and out of in the tree or caves around the town. So although the final 15 minutes were at least entertaining, it simply is t enough. They need to really ramp up the plot lines and answer questions. Like I said about yellowjackets show. I think this show wasn't intended to be so popular and get a season 2 , and I think they just threw together something for a season and what we get is a mixed bag of and shoddy plot development. Just seems like a ton of filler mixed in with portions that are relevant to the story. Simply put, they were not totally prepared and didn't have much time to make a solid season 2. Just a theory on that though.
