Once Upon a Time...

The boring new characters are put into positions where the audience is expected to feel something for them, after they do literally nothing the entire season.

The plot is expanded in minuscule amounts, but those minuscule amounts are what make the finale a 7/10.

Overall, it feels like the writers are unable to establish what they want to create and it is very likely, that they're going to write themselves into a circle. Looping endlessly around different developments without actually addressing the initial story elements. This is very evident from their focus on new characters as opposed to existing characters.

"From" needs to decide what it is, is it a horror/drama hybrid or is it a drama/family show, because this season felt like it kept bouncing between the two, and this will ultimately kill the show in the same way the The Walking Dead, died.

Brilliant finale!

I liked the fact that this season focused a lot more on character development while also providing some answers to many of the questions in the first season.

Where the creatures live has now been answered.

If the creatures sleep has now been answered Can the creatures be killed has now been answered What the creatures use to be has now been answered Whether the boy in white is good or bad has now been answered.

Whether, or not, this terrifying town can be escaped from has now been answered.

Two of the new characters that were added to the show were also very good.

I really look forward to the next season. Just add two more episodes. This season went by to quickly, IMO.

(Shortened summary in the bottom of the review)

They didn´t improve on giving us a real finale this season, this also gave us the dullest cliffhanger of the season. But the episode if it hadn´t been a season finale, is actually a pretty good episode with a few things going on like in the episodes before.

The season from start to finish where great and only got better from each episode, so that is definitely something positive.

So yeah i fully recommend you watch this episode and then let us just wait and see if it gets a little more back on track where we started in season 1.

(8/10)

Shortened summary: Not the greatest final, but a great episode in itself. Season 2 ends out like season 1 but all in all is a great season of tv anyways.

Sure. I agree that this season has been slower than the first but if you've ever watched a tv show before you must understand that the first season is designed to grab your attention and then the next is character development. In order for a show to survive you need interesting characters and you need to follow their journey. The pacing and writing has been very good as well. I hate to keep comparing this show to Lost (because the creators of Lost made this show) but it really brings me back to how I felt when I watched Lost.

So many twist and turns and just when you think something has been figured out here comes another plot twist.

I won't spoil anything for this episode but there was a scene with Boyd that's just WOW!

I'm so excited where this show is going.

Overall, this season was awful!

We had about 8 episodes of dialogue, boring characters, poor acting, crying, arguing, etc. I thought I was watching a mystery horror? Not a god damn soap opera!

We had more mysteries thrown at us and not a single answer to anything.

Fool me once (Lost), but fool me twice (From)? No thanks! I am not sticking around to have my time wasted, get poor or no answers and a dire grand finale like we had in Lost.

I will not be sticking around for Season 3. There are much better series out now I.e, Silo that has mystery, good acting and you get answers.

I am certainly not falling for these Lost writers again. In the end From will be about some stupid good and evil place that stops evil from spreading to the world *rolls eyes* (reference to Lost).

Go watch a well written and acted series instead is my advice.
