After the success of Lost, ABC’s all-time great mystery sci-fi series, there was a wave of similar shows that tried to replicate the same “mystery box” formula. In fact, we’re still riding that wave with shows like Silo and Yellowjackets. However, for years now, one series has secretly been the best of Lost’s many children: MGM+’s From.
Like Lost, the folk horror series had a trapped, claustrophobic setting, and like Lost, there’s an ongoing mystery that’s never fully revealed itself. But most importantly, it starred a Lost alum: Harold Perrineau, who played construction manager Michael in the ABC series and town leader Boyd in From. The series follows a still-unnamed Town where wayward travelers get lost but can never leave. What’s more, there are monsters that roam at night, forcing the community to work together to stay alive, and, perhaps, finally get home.
