All things considered season 1 of From was a surprise hit for them and they quickly got to work on season 2 to capitalize. Its an interesting idea that would work best if concluded in three seasons maaaybe 2 but god almighty these clowns absolutely dropped the ball. The last thing this cast of extremely different skill levels needed was a literal bus load of new bad actors playing one dimensional characters. Perhaps they needed to check off more boxes in terms of a more diverse cast I dont know but after episode 2 the last 3 episodes might be the worst episodes in recent modern tv history. The potential interesting ideas in all of our heads are more interesting than their decisions. And the characters all behave in such an unrealistic manor it drives me up the wall. Havent seen your love for months and think you never will? Oh shes here now too! How INCREDIBLE! But by the next episode their first scene together they are so angry at eachother theyre unable to communicate simple explanations like gee idunno "HEY IVE BEEN TRAPPED HERE YOU FOOL THERES PEOPLE THAT WALK AROUND AT NIGHT KILLING EVERYONE AND YOU CANT ESCAPE"
Its gotten to the point where scenes with certain actors or characters are an automatic skip for me. The teenage daughter always screaming and running from point a to point b exhuding her poor acting skills chewing up all the scenery with it. Or the other young lady in love with boyd's son.. her scenes are repetitive, poorly written, and dont move the needle or reveal anything we care about.
They never used the radio again? They never trapped one yet?? Wouldnt that be the first thing to do with these stupid one minded creatures? Couldnt they have created better defenses by now considering these creatures dont have tools or use technology? Make a damn wall or dig a trench around the town/homes? Any of these small details would be interesting ideas to see bc the viewers are curious how life would be in this town but we get nothinggg we are led to believe these idiots were dying nonstop until they decided to hang talismans in their homes and hide. Some hippies hide up the hill in a mansion and have sex and drink! But no one does anything! All we have is "the box" as the one cool detail about their new world.. now we still have ppl measuring tree distances and no one sharing their findings. Its not a thinking mans show. Not anymore.
