I have been watching it since it came on. I did not watch Lost so I have no idea what that was about or how it ended.

Frankly, From is getting frustrating to watch. 3 seasons in and we still know so little about what is going on. It its getting repetitious and boring. Something need to happen soon or the show will lose me. These personal stories about some of the characters become meaningless after awhile. In light of what is going on around them the personal stories are kind of pointless. It is all about what is going on, why, and how to fight it. The people are doing so little to figure out any of it.

I get the distinct impression this show will not have an ending. It will go on like it has until the network cancels it and we will be left never knowing anything about what was going on.

So just like Lost, lol.

Or they'll try to wrap it all up in the final episode, like Lost did, and make you wish you never watched the show.

Congrats, you just watched Lost

Remember the first 3 seasons, when we all thought Lost was one of the greatest TV shows ever?

It started out great yet I hung on until the end. To be fair, didn’t they have ever-changing writers and a strike to deal with?

I'm not sure about that, but it was at least decent, right up to the finale. I don't think there's any excuse for that dumpster fire of an ending.

Half the people who watched every episode probably could have written it better.

It appears the writing and plan was all over the place

IDK, it looks like there should have been enough continuity of writers to keep it from going over the cliff.

It's well past the point of caring, but it's a shame anyway.

They never had an ending in mind. Most authors already know the outcome they are building the story to.

Yeah, the Lost ending definitely was a massive letdown and sparked a lot of debate. It just didn't live up to the complexity of the rest of the show, IMO. The journey, though, with the rest of the show was an incredible ride with all the mysteries and character arcs. That was the first show my wife and I ever binged. It was on Netflix and we would be up at midnight on a work night, an episode would end, and we would look at each other. "Ok, one more!!". haha Good times.

We made it to season 5 and then had to watch season 6 on TV, week by week. That sucked.

Lost was a victim of it's success.
The initial viewership and ratings numbers were so good they had to start adding
story lines and background characters to keep the show going.

They started doing complete histories/origin stories for the characters
Some characters were just meant to have bit prats but they became popular on the show so they became regulars. Hurley was one of those guys and they started a complete story arc and history of him later.

They would start some plot lines and some would just get abandoned.

I think lost was only initially going to be a number of seasons but the show did so well and was such a money maker they had to extended it well beyond what it should have been.

Just finished Season 1 of "From"

It's made by the same people who made "Lost". It's on the horror side and it's been intriguing and suspensful. There are 3 seasons.

Hopefully they end it better than Lost.

Love the series. Just started Season 3.

Speaking of Hurley, I thought they screwed up killing off Libby.

Slow Horses. Apple TV. Pretty darn intense. A lot of great British actors with Gary Oldman leading the charge.

It’s the MI5 for rejects. The James Bonds who had drug addictions, gambling addictions or whatever else was a no go for MI5 clearance.

Might have to check that out.

Slow Horses is a good show if you like British style spy dramas that do a great job of presenting the actors as realistic people in realistic scenes.

For people who like fast paced, clean-cut, procedural Hollywood-style TV shows and movies, the show will probably seem slow and boring, but if you value intriguing (not great, but definitely intriguing) storylines and realistic characters and settings then I would suggest checking it out.

Stop placing boundaries of what I can and cannot like based on my need for speed!

Been Binge watching Suits since it came on Netflix.
I have enjoyed it so far even though I am not normally a lawyer shows.

However with that said. Sometimes these shows with good writing they start recycling the same types of plot lines.

It slowly loses its luster, but it's worth watching.

Has anyone watched the 2nd season of The Old Man? It's getting horrible reviews. I really enjoyed the first season and loved series like the Terminal List.

So what's your take? I was really looking forward to it.
