    Shame

    What a boring episode! Weak and nonsense script, fake actors play, dumb and cliche solutions.

    What a weird tradition to destroy amazing stories on season 2?

    First you are waiting a year for a new episode and then they propose to waste 15 minutes of your life for repeating and next 45 - for a kaleidoscope of primitive and fake actoins, I so hard to believe at least one hero in this episode.

    What the reason of this behavior? Why it became as a standard of American movies? It's not a crisis of industry, but downfall. Shame for all this people, who thinking only about the money but not about the art.

    Season 2 starts with a whimper

    I recently binged the !st sea6of From and enjoyed it. The plot wasn't laboriously drawn out like it is with many shows like this. I eagerly signed up for the free week of MGM+ so I could stream season 2. These first two episodes are awful. Especially the characters of Julie, Fatima, the melodrama with Christi and her new "guest", Boyd's confusion, etc, The first two episodes absolutely wallow in it. These characters I listed are poorly written and I do not blame the actors. I'm inclined to leave that at the feat of the writers and maybe the director of these two episodes. Some of the acting by the people on the bus is pretty bad however.

    Anyway, I'm sitting here watching episode 3 and it seems to have settled down and started moving forward again. Fingers crossed for the rest of the season.

    Yes, yes, yes

    I actually forgot how much I liked this show. I forgot how ominous everything felt watching it.

    I haven't been looking forward to any movies except the comical B stuff like 'Cocaine Bear'.

    I haven't been looking forward to a single series other than this one, and this season premiere delivered very well.

    Without spoilers, it starts off right where it ended, as if they had already filmed it during the last season.

    The transition into this season is very solid and they seem to have mastered the craft that they were building towards.

    This will be the first show in years that I await every Sunday eagerly to watch the next episode.

    I just wish the show was more easily available in Canada.

    Omgggg

    This is my new favorite show. The only problem is i gotta wait for mors episodes to drop. I really love how this show is going to go! 1st episode has so many things going you never get bored. I can't wait to see how the season end. Don't worry about the low reviews.. those people need to touch Grass. I'm feeling very emotional right now cuz I know it's gonna be a great season . The acting is so good. Each character is lovable. I feel it's gonna be alot of back story in s2. If you like the 1st few seasons of lost , then this shoe is for you. I hope we can get atleadt 4-5 seasons out of this show .

    Season 2 starts off where Season 1 finished...

    ... and that is a show full of bad actors portraying dumb people doing dumb things. And the show absolutely hinges on dumb people doing dumb things because if it didn't there wouldn't be much of a show.

    I can only think that whatever is 'selecting' these people to go to this town is only choosing people with extremely low IQ.

    What happened in this episode? Very little, except a lot of dumb things. Actual plot progression was very limited, which isn't amazing when you think you didn't need to watch Season 1... the recap had everything you need to know.

    And oh geez... Catalina Sandino Moreno I don't know if you're phoning it in, or struggling with the script, but your acting is terrible in this. You could at least act like you wanted to be there and your agent didn't sell you up the river.

      When season two begins Jade has much longer hair and beard. Both are very curly even tho it's the same day season 1 concluded on.
