(ESP-ENG) FROM [Season 3] | A mystery full of doubts - Serie Review!
Hello friends, good vibes to all.
From is not at the level of Dark, but the level of bewilderment, of doubts, of questions without answers, of all that is inexplicable and that being with three complete and finished seasons we still know absolutely nothing is one of the reasons why this series could be a serious competitor to the German story. When I sit down to watch FROM it is guaranteed that my head will hurt, figuratively, for not being able to tie up ends and give shape to a plot that from the very first chapter of the first season does not invite you to doubt everything and to live in a constant unsolved mystery. The second season ended in a very shocking way to give way to this third part; I feel that unfortunately for me it did not meet the expectations I was expecting.
For those who do not know or have not yet decided whether to give this series a chance, I will quickly tell you that it is about a group of people who are stuck in a town from which they can not get out, there is no way to escape from that place. This place is quite strange because of the inexplicable things that happen there, supernatural, mental and to the point of thinking that all this is a conspiracy or macabre experiment. Throughout these three seasons there has been a lot of depth about how to get out of there, understand what is really going on and live with all the evils that haunt the place. It has not been easy, many have left, others have arrived but the vast majority are still there trying to decipher the nightmare of spending days in that mysterious town.
This season I honestly expected it to be a little more direct in order to solve all the mysteries that are there because yes, this series has several edges, several open roads that should be closing. FROM is one of the series that most intrigues me because of all this, that each character is living a different mystery and at the same time is looking to solve it explodes my mind because there are so many loose ends it is very difficult to understand everything. This season three began at the gates of the closing of the second which was very powerful but throughout the 10 chapters that mystery was not solved, on the contrary, a few more were added. I think that in terms of story this season stagnated, it was not bad by any means, but the background of the story entered a quicksand.
The form was maintained, I think we saw more rawness, the development of the characters went deeper, the violence is still present, at the end maybe the evil contained in that place has escalated a little and it is that people are increasingly difficult to keep calm and sanity because the town invites you to that. I will always highlight the setting of the series, everything is very dark, very macabre, they try to make everything as “normal” and familiar as possible but there is no way, the vibe that emanates from the way they arranged things and locations makes you dive right in and get caught by the meaninglessness of living there. What the series generates is 10, something Stephen King himself praises it so much.
Probably the reason for the extension of the story is that it has already been renewed for a fourth season, I don't know if it will be the definitive one but it is certainly good news. I say this because the end of this third season is heavy and shocking, not as much as the second, but I think it will mark a lot to all the inhabitants of the site. It opens a door to the unknown, something happens that many took for granted that did not happen and in the end it ended up happening which, very obviously, is inexplicable. Personally I didn't see it coming and I like that, surprises will always be appreciated in this kind of stories.
In the end we were left with a third season with too many things to be resolved, it is true that there were a couple of facts that opened our eyes, but there were more that were left in the air waiting to be discovered or solved later. As I said in the title, what reigned was doubt. In general terms it was not a bad season, the essence is maintained and deepened, the expectation is growing, the intrigue is elevated to the nth degree and the mystery does not decline but yes, many things, few answers. Let's hope that the fourth season will clarify things and we begin to see who or what is behind everything that happens in that town.

Well friends that's all for today, I hope you liked it.

I am not a fan of horror series but this one looks definitely scary!
I highly recommend it, it's horror but it's not one of those jump scare ones, maybe you'll get one out there but nothing serious. Everything is worth it with the intrigue and suspense of the unexplained.
It's true that mystery and tension are an essential part of the plot, but sometimes it can also be frustrating not to have answers after so many seasons. I find it interesting that the series maintains that dark and disturbing atmosphere. Excellent review!
Thanks for reading my friend. It is, it's a series that has everything to be a great horror reference.
This was one of the best movies I abandoned just because like you said, I also hurt my head trying to wrap my head around the plots.I couldn’t tie so many loose ends and for someone who doesn’t like scary movies, I had to leave it. It has so many creepy things.
I agree with you and 100% recommend it to people who like scary movies.
I think you should watch it again, it's true that the series is a bit desperate in terms of not being able to find answers but that suspenseful vibe I think makes it very cool. It's one of the best series I've seen in a while.
I almost dropped the show with how poor the third season was. I can't help but feel it really dropped the ball.
It was poor because it didn't advance much with everything that had happened in the second season, a lot of unfinished things, I feel like everything is like a loop of more of the same. At least the ending was a little interesting, it left us with some emotion.
