I’m a HUGE fan of the series, LOST, and have watched all 121 episodes more than once. There’s a newer TV series out called “FROM (official trailer here)” that’s directed by one of the executive producers of LOST. Said producer also worked on Stephen King’s Under the Dome. To me, this plot feels a whole lot like Lost but includes King’s horror aspect.
The first season of the series FROM is available on Prime Video and the first 3 episodes of season two is available on MGM+. Episodes drop weekly. While I don’t think this show will ever become anything close to what LOST was at its peak, it kept Perry and I binge watching it after Ben insisted we at least give it a shot. Pretty smart to get people hooked on the series through Prime Video because now they have to subscribe to MGM+ to get the weekly episode drop.
Plot in a nutshell:
No matter where you are in the world, if you’re driving down a road and see a tree blocking your path with crows overhead, you’re going to take a detour and end up in a small town from hell with no way to escape. Human looking creatures emerge at night to kill and ravage the bodies of anyone not locked inside with a talisman to protect them. Everyone wants to go home.
Using a food ranking system:
LOST is a steak. FROM is an ear of corn. Corn is really good and ranks a solid 8, but steak is a 10.
TIL (Today I Learned): Schools in several states banned hot Cheetos and Takis saying they are unhealthy and disruptive. That sparked a black market at some schools, with Takis becoming an underground currency.
