It’s been 20 years since Lost, but its influence is still being felt. “A trapped group of people tries to escape while contending with an otherworldly force” can sum up both Lost and dozens of shows it inspired, from The Society to Manifest to Yellowjackets. But one show reached new heights with Lost’s formula, and is now amid its third season. There’s never been a better time to dive in and crack open a brand new mystery box full of horror imagery that wouldn’t have worked on network television in 2004, but is a delight to watch now.
Hiding in the depths of Amazon Prime is MGM+, an add-on subscription previously known as Epix. Past that paywall is a treasure trove of groundbreaking sci-fi, like Beacon 23, based on a book by Hugh Howey, who also wrote the source material for Apple’s hit dystopian thriller, Silo. But the most interesting MGM+ show is From, a supernatural horror series worked on by a slew of Lost alumni and executive produced by Marvel veterans Joe and Anthony Russo.
