From creator John Griffin, comes a gripping sci-fi horror TV series that delves into the lives of a group of people who find themselves inexplicably trapped in a desolate, mysterious town. Once inside, there’s no way to leave—the town ensnares anyone who crosses its borders, turning what begins as a bewildering detour into a living nightmare. The town is haunted by sinister, nocturnal creatures that emerge as soon as darkness falls, forcing the residents to seek refuge behind locked doors and fortified windows every night. Survival depends on cooperation, but as tensions rise and resources dwindle, trust becomes a fragile commodity.
The series follows the residents as they navigate the psychological toll of being trapped in this hostile environment. From Harold Perrineau's broken sheriff to Eion Bailey and Catalina Sandino Moreno's shocked family as they come to terms with an unbelievable predicament, each person arrives with their own backstory, baggage, and secrets, which are gradually revealed as they struggle not only to outwit the relentless creatures but also to keep their sanity intact. The characters must confront their own fears and regrets, while simultaneously unearthing the twisted history of the town—an enigma steeped in dark, supernatural forces.
As alliances shift and desperation mounts, the residents race against time to piece together clues that might explain the town’s origins and, ultimately, find a way to escape. Combining high-stakes suspense with elements of psychological horror and the supernatural, From weaves a complex narrative where every decision could mean the difference between life and death. The series maintains an atmosphere of dread, ensuring that viewers are constantly on edge, questioning not just what’s lurking in the shadows, but also what lies within the hearts of those trying to survive.
SCPUK REVIEW
From is a clever show that explores how people survive in extreme circumstances, with deadly threats that are both eerie and unsettling. The creatures have a disarmingly pleasant appearance, yet their sinister intent adds to the creeping horror. The show feels like a relative of Under the Dome or Wayward Pines, focusing on families trapped in an inescapable situation, facing both the struggle to escape and an ever-present existential threat. It masterfully balances the tension of survival with a chilling supernatural element that gets under your skin. With great performances from the cast, particularly Harold Perrineau, whose screen presence and character is the beating heart of the show.
The show is three seasons in, you can find it on MGM +
