"From" started out with a promising premise, reminiscent of series like "Lost".
Its cause was helped by solid casting and well rounded characterisations. Where it falls down, as is so often the case, is in its storytelling.
From feels like its written itself into a corner, with logic pot holes that can be not be filled in or explained away.
In other words, its not where this series is from its where its going. As its stands, there appears to be no clear destination in sight. Which might help to explain the rather aimless end to the first season.
I'll take a look at a second season, if there is one. I do predict, however, its going to be hard to overcome the unnecessary literary chains, this series has wrapped itself in.
