From

Early on it's always hard to tell, but sofar From seems to walk the line between being a supernatural mystery show and an outright horror show.

Granted, I'm a pretty big fan of LOST (Including the ending, which is a hell of a lot better than it gets credit for.) which From shares *some* dna with. From, however, leans away from the global cast, exotic locations, and big punchy speeches of LOST, going much more for an intimate setting with a much more claustraphobic feel.

I was particularly surprised by the character dialogue, which tends to feel almost improved, as characters stutter or stumble over words or use somewhat half-baked turns of phrase lend a lot of believability to most characters without going far enough to feel messy or wrong. It's that perfect level of mistake that helps sell the world as real.

I'm excited to see how the series develops as we go on, and personally like having a new episode to check out every week(at lest for the next 6 or so weeks.)

--Mid Season Update-- Mysteries have evolved and expanded consistently, performances are still excellent. Writing can be clunky in certain scenes, but the performance and direction usually makes it work. The middle episodes of From have pulled away from the horror somewhat in favor of exploring the mystery and world.

I would categorize as a must see for fans of horror and mystery TV.
