“From” - The talk show. (A review of season 3)
Well, there it is. How do you recover from this?
Spoiler Alert: I think the writers of this show are on drugs or getting inspired by the Indian TV soap opera.

@ryivhnn, @screenjournal, @bhattg and everyone have been warning me about this. But I had to see this by myself to believe. And they weren't lying. Season 3 is worse than season 2. I think the writers forgot that they were working on a horror genre. At this point, I am more afraid of the writers than the nightmonsters.
No, really, if you know a person who can delete the monsters out of nightmares, just run. I dont know what happened, maybe the monsters got cold after shooting episode 1 of season 3 in the snow. Because they were missing from the rest of the season. I was scared the entire time watching the show. I was afraid that if all of a sudden somebody wanted to talk about their feelings, like ‘I’m scared,’ or ‘We can’t go home.’
It takes special skills to turn a horror series into a talk show. Yup! That's what it feels like.
Somebody be like, “You dont know the things I’ve seen” The other guy will be like Select one dialogue from this default list “Please talk to me. I am here for you. You are not alone in this. We will get through this. This place… it changes you.”

You may think I'm overreacting to it. But hear me out. They spent the entirety of season 1 making the forest a scary place. Monsters live there, and they come at night. By season 3, they turned the nightmare forest into a picnic spot. People are going in without any fear. And use that as a camping site now. They go there, harvest, stay the night there and return the next day. It really pisses me off. The Ethan kid and poor Julie go deep into the forest, and Julie gets hit by a seizure. The little kid ran back to the village and got help. Waaaahhhhhtttt!!!
Another issue I can see. All the key characters were just boring in this season. Boyd was very reactive; he was acting without much clarity all the time. Shouting and picking fights. Donna got the same treatment as Julie, forgotten and just in the background. They killed the sweet lady Tian-Chen, Tillie, and I think Jim begged the writers to write him off the show after hearing the reincarnation story. The only characters that made progress but in the wrong direction, were Jade and Tabitha. Also, the visions It was so common that people stopped reacting to them and telling others..
And sorry if it feels like I am hating on the show or the writers. But that's not the case. I love watching movies and series as they are a form of storytelling. And I also know how difficult it is to keep the story engaging and at the same time make progress. I know the writers are trying their best to make the story move forward (Or stalling, as per the instruction from the guy who is paying). As for the actors, they are doing an awesome job with what they've been assigned. I guess we have to wait for another season to find out the ending.
I know very well that if I were in that town, I would be completely useless. I wouldn't be able to help anyone as I'd be busy changing pants 6 times a day, 7 days a week

When the woods turn into a weekend getaway, the stakes vanish. Once the fear's gone, those tearful chats feel like filler, and I get why a pep talk felt scarier than a monster. I'd pause here, reset with a tight horror miniseries, then decide if S4 gets a shot. Congrats on hitting 3.5K HP with that 101 power-up, think you'll pace it weekly to reach 5K?
5K is a difficult target to achieve, but not impossible. Let's Hive some more.
BTW, that is a great idea to have a miniseries to clear the mess a little. But what I heard is that they are way deep in S4 shoot, and we will be getting the series in the 1st quarter of 2026.

You kow, I have never found out how common this is but early rumours back when I was in my 20s and thinking about getting into that industry about the time when that industry started being hyperfocused on making massive profits at any and all cost rather than interesting storytelling and trying new things, but just hearing the idea of it made me about face in a hurry and with how a lot of movies and series are going now (don't get me wrong it sounds like there are a lot of good ones hat have appeared but also sounds like there is so much more chaff and I don't have time for that even when studying) I'm glad I just decided to fail on my own.
I'm just imagining "the guy who is paying" suddenly getting all these "brilliant" ideas and insisting that they have to be put in and everyone else going "...".
Haha! Exactly, sometimes the "guy who is paying" just needs to pay and shut up.
I am afraid that the series is already 'LOST' to me.🤣
While you are not wrong, I still absolutely love this show. I must say watching 1 episode each week of From is 100x better compared to binge watching. Also at least we got some kind of answers, and I hope they improve on the 4th season again.
And right there is one of the problems. The series is designed for the TV audience. I am binge-watching the show, and for me, it never felt like a TV show but a long, slow movie.
TBH, I am also waiting for the S4 lets see how the writer manages to wrap all this up. 😅
I need to watch this movie
Well, It's not a movie but a 3-season-long series. 10 episodes each.
