Thresholds

There is no real story line. It's just a meandering mess. Nothing ever makes sense and I'm guessing it's not meant to. Nothing is ever followed up on. No one talks to each other, when they have nothing else to do but talk. Each episode has like 25 characters. It's impossibly hard to keep them all straight. I'm constantly looking at the cast list trying to figure out who they are talking about and how they play into the non-existent story line. Sometimes characters are referenced that briefly appeared two years ago. Like I'm supposed to remember someone from season one who had 10 lines of dialogue and was killed off in episode three?

Worst of all, I don't really care about any of the characters. There's no connection, no chemistry, no bonding, no emotional depth. I don't feel anything for any of them. They can all get eaten by zombies for all I care. I don't know why I am still watching. I should just cut my losses at this point.

The only good aspect of the show is the creepy version of Que Sera Sera playing over the intro credits.

I found this weeks episode to be an improvement from the last couple, with things starting to pick up and some things coming around and tying together but it still falls short of the opening 4 episodes.

There was still too much melodrama and it's been ages since we had any shock and awe but at least a couple elements of the mystery are starting to unfold. I'm not surprised at all to see how things are turning out with Fatima and the other side stories, I think most agree we could see much of it coming a mile away and that it's really dragging out getting there.

I'm still holding out hope for the final two episodes to be real bangers like the first few were, but at this point they've squandered pretty much half a season on the "mid season slouch" which is very unfortunate.

7/10 - an improvement with a lot to do in the final 2.

I'm honestly wondering if this is even the same show we watched in Season 1.

Season 3 started off decent, but after Episode 4, it feels like they just decided to stretch things out for more seasons, and now we're stuck with three episodes of almost nothing happening.

The whole thing with Fatima and her mysterious pregnancy just isn't that interesting-or at least they somehow made it not interesting. And now there's this lady in a robe suddenly at the center of the story? Where are all the intriguing elements from before: the monsters, the boy in white, the spiders, the children, the faraway tree, the lighthouse, the crows, the guy on the radio? So much of what made From fascinating has been sidelined.

And don't get me started on the flimsy plot device involving Julie... It feels like a lazy attempt and raises more questions than it answers. Are we watching a time-travel show now? What??

Even the acting feels off this season. They've got some solid actors, but nothing seems to be working. The scene between Jake and Jade was just bad, which is disappointing since Jade is my favorite character, and that's how bad the writing has gotten.

I'll give it the two episodes left, but if nothing changes, I'm not sure I'll bother with the next seasons.

Struggles with narrative coherence, leaning too heavily on last-minute twists that feel inconsistent with previous episodes. Victor's long-awaited lore dump, while intriguing, seems like a forced exposition drop rather than organic storytelling. The sudden focus shift to the Boy in White as a pivotal figure leaves Jasper's arc unresolved, adding complexity without real payoff. Additionally, Elgin's cryptic role and his unsettling influence over Fatima do little to clarify the overarching mystery, creating confusion rather than suspense. The time-travel twist with Julie, while bold, risks alienating viewers by introducing more questions without real answers.

With just two episodes left in Season 3, I'm not sure how they're going to pull off a satisfying conclusion. Episode 8 was packed with twists that felt more confusing than exciting, and I'm left with more questions than answers. The shift to focusing on the Boy in White over Jasper, and the confusing time-travel elements with Julie, seem like last-minute decisions that don't fit well with the established story.

It's obvious they're setting up for a fourth season, but this one feels like the weakest yet. I'm hoping the final episodes redeem it, but right now, I'm skeptical.

More than half the season is just useless chatter against the backdrop of nothing happening at all. It seems that the authors themselves don't know what to come up with and are just stalling for time. It is unlikely that I will watch the next season.

And the characters on the show are astonishing in their low-level ingenuity. What prevented them from blocking the exit from the cave with stones or setting traps for monsters to fall into the pit and you can see what happens to them in the daytime? If bullets can't take them, maybe an axe will? What about gasoline? No, it's more important for them to chat, competing to see who is more disturbed by the ongoing absurdity, although the answer to this question is obvious: the viewer!
