There and Back Again

I'm totally obsessed with this show. I just finished watching Episode 3, Season 3 and now we're getting somewhere. Not that the entire show this far hasn't kept me on my toes. The best thriller in a very long time. This is my second review and I can absolutely say I'm hooked, oh i already said that, Lol!! This season appears to be answering more questions and Victor is coming out of his shell. Fatima has me soooo worried, wonder if she'll become one of the opps??!!??! Keep them this show on. Every week I start over so that I'm all caught up by Sunday, it sucks that I have to wait a week to get another episode 🙄

What's happening here? The pace of the series is so slow that it's becoming difficult to watch. Scenes become longer and longer, everyone is asking everyone if they're feeling okay 50 times per episode. There is no script development at all, 3 seasons in, the story has barely moved. They should have been well into the second act by now, instead they're just creating side stories all the time to stall the main plot.

Apart from that, it makes little to no sense for people to be so weak minded - all the main characters behave irrationally for people who have been surviving life and death situations for years in some cases. After all this is a fight for survival, not a feelings and emotions recreational camp. Whoever approved this plot would need to seriously think again.

I love this show and im enjoying every second of it I love the characters and the development every one is getting . But I can't ignore the fact that we literally have no clue about what's happening even though we are in half season 3 !!! Too much mystery. Soo many incomprehensible things that im sure it will be fun to know the answer of it but it's already too late ( how did tbitah gets back? Who's the little boy in the phone ? How come the monsters don't want to kill boyd ?are those Hallucinations even true ? ) and a looot of others. Unanswerable questions !!! I hope we are getting something next episodes !

I've been a fan of From since the beginning, but this episode really tested my patience. While there were a few enjoyable moments, the pacing and excessive filler are becoming increasingly frustrating. I get that the season is planned for 10 episodes, but do we really need all this filler? By now, in the fourth episode of season three, we should have more clarity about what's going on. Instead, the writers seem determined to stretch out the mystery without offering much in the way of answers.

Seasons one and two were much stronger. They had better pacing and a sense of urgency that kept me hooked. Now, it feels like the story is being padded out with unnecessary scenes just to fill the runtime, and it's starting to drag. The potential is still there, but the plot is moving at a snail's pace, and it's hard not to feel disappointed.

By now, we should have more insight into the mysterious town and the forces at play. I mean, we're three seasons in! Yet, it feels like the writers are purposely holding back, and it's becoming more irritating with each passing episode. If they keep this up, they risk losing the interest of viewers who have been invested in the story since day one.

I hope the pacing improves in the coming episodes, and we finally start getting some real answers. At this point, the show is moving too slowly for my liking, and the constant stalling makes me worry they're running out of ideas. From has the potential to be great, but the writers really need to step it up and give the audience the progression and reveals we've been waiting for.

Things move forward, and Ep3 pays off exactly as you'd expect. Writers are starting to evolve and expand on some of the seemingly disconnected or random bits and jumpscare objects from earlier episodes that just seemed to be for the vibe or creepy factor, which are now getting built out into a more complete world. I'm very interested in seeing how they manage to build out these images and items.

Victor's subplot specifically gives me a lot of LOST vibes, lots of retro memorabilia and otherwise noraml objects imbued with supernatural or at least sybolic significance.

Not a highlight like S3E1 or S3E3 but I think this is still head and shoulder above most of Season 2 (which was pretty much all 5/10 in my opinion)

Still not sure where this is all going, but I'm very invested in seeing where they're headed.
