Last year, we started watching the MGM+ series "From," and let's just say, it did not disappoint. This show isn't like "Yellowjackets," where you have to adapt and accept the new norm at some point. In "From," you want to leave. You want to wake up from this nightmarish town full of unimaginable monsters and ghouls that stalk you in your dreams. They come to you at night, whispering succulent secrets that easily seduce you into letting them in. But that's the thing—you don't want to let them in. Behind the human facade is a morphed alien-like species that wants to eat every part of your body, bones included. Plainly put, their only purpose is to consume you until there's nothing left to identify.
But here's the kicker—it's almost like the ghoulish world chooses you. Many of its residents aren't harboring some horrible secret that got them all stuck here; no. They were like us, like you, just riding on the open road, going to the store, or driving out of town. Yet, when that driver stumbles across a tree in the road and a flock of crows flying above the treetops, making these weird noises, it's too late. You've been chosen to stay in a town that probably isn't even on the map. And with "From," believe me, you want it to be. You want to wake up from this nightmare that has plagued your life.
Season two picks up where Season one left off, with more people choosing to stay. We really don't understand what's going on here and if most of this is just some experiment done by a twisted scientist behind the scenes, conjuring a way to see how humans react to not knowing why they're stuck in a town where monsters roam at night to eat them. The show is fantastic, and I love the characters and how people are trying to make their new situation work. But there are far too many questions that aren't getting answered. I don't want to spoil it for you, but if you haven't started "From," you need to. Check out the premise below:
In a nightmarish town in middle America that traps everyone who enters, unwilling residents strive to stay alive and search for a way out, but they are plagued by the terrifying nocturnal creatures from the surrounding forest and secrets hidden in the town itself.
