From: Choosing Day (2022)
Season 1, Episode 3
7/10
So far, it's alright
11 December 2022
An improvement after the mildly underwhelming second episode. But I'm not too fond of the way Julie is written. Her edgy teen attitude and nonsensical actions make her seem like a character out of a CW show. Furthermore, it is absurd that the parents would abandon their child with strangers in such a situation.

It was interesting how the show contrasts the coping mechanisms of two distinct groups. While the residents of the town attempt to live a regular life while holding out hope for an escape, the colony home residents exemplify the adage, "live each day like it's your last and nothing else matters." What created the gap between these two societies will be intriguing to explore.

"From" has potential, and I'm looking forward to seeing if the writers can realize that potential without falling back on tired tropes. All I want is for them to maintain a consistent emphasis on the mystery while keeping to the show's internal logic.

Rating: 6.9/10 (It Gets the Job Done, Slightly Flawed)
