From continues to be one of the most unsettling and enigmatic series of its genre, blending existential dread with nightmarish horror. Season 3 delves deep into the origins of the town's darkness, revealing horrifying truths about the night creatures and the price of survival.
Main Theme:
Every answer spawns a new question. Every question bleeds.
Unlike typical horror shows, From succeeds in making the viewer feel like a prisoner inside the mystery itself — trapped, suffocated, desperate for understanding. It blends psychological horror with philosophical mystery in a way that keeps you constantly questioning: What is happening?
Writing and Dialogue:
Season 3 maintains its slow-burn approach, layering questions without clear answers until the final episodes. The writing shines in the tension-filled interactions between Boyd and Donna but falters with characters like Jim and Randall, whose constant complaints feel repetitive.
The revelation about the monsters — once human beings who chose immortality through horrifying sacrifices — injects a new philosophical depth into the story. It's no longer just about survival but a reflection on humanity's capacity for selfishness and horror.
Season 3's structure resembles an inverted pyramid: beginning with relative calm, tension escalates until it explodes with shocking reveals. While thrilling, this structure causes narrative fatigue; spreading revelations more evenly might have created a smoother rhythm.
Key Plot Highlights:
Boyd's journey remains tragically heroic, battling internal collapse as much as external threats.
Fatima's discovery of carrying a "monster child" marks one of the season's most chilling psychological turns.
Tabitha's return, layered with surreal new realities, suggests the nightmare may be deeper than previously imagined.
The mysterious man in the yellow coat at the end shatters any sense of reality, questioning whether they are trapped in a dream, an experiment, or an eternal nightmare.
Direction, Cinematography, and Lighting:
Direction remains a strength, utilizing tight frames, slow pacing, and shadow-play to create a suffocating atmosphere. Visual storytelling often outweighs dialogue, especially in scenes like:
Boyd in the tunnel (Ep 4): A single long take tracks his descent, heightening tension with minimal light, casting shifting shadows that mirror his fracturing mind.
Fatima’s pregnancy reveal (Ep 6): Strategic lighting floods the room symbolically before plunging into darkness.
The mysterious woman (Ep 7): Only seen through reflections or shadows, embodying subconscious fear more than physical reality.
The use of cold color palettes and dim lighting expertly maintains the oppressive, nightmarish tone.
Editing:
Editing is smooth in the later episodes, blending hallucinations and reality seamlessly. However, the early episodes could have benefited from tighter pacing to maintain momentum.
Music and Sound Design:
The music complements the horror without resorting to cheap jump-scares, using eerie strings and disturbing ambient sounds to heighten unease.
Set Design:
Meticulously crafted sets reflect decay and hidden terrors — every peeling wall and darkened corner whispering of buried secrets.
Acting:
Harold Perrineau (Boyd) anchors the show with a gripping, emotionally layered performance.
Donna remains impactful despite less screen time.
Ellis's performance remains uneven, while newer characters like Acosta feel underdeveloped and occasionally forced.
Final Verdict:
From Season 3 proves it's more than just horror — it's a mirror held up to the broken soul. Though it offers some long-awaited answers, the darkness still reigns... and the worst may be yet to come.

A terceira temporada revelou muito pouco, para mim foi mais uma barriga no roteiro, pois em 10 episódios temos de significante a morte de uma personagem querida, outro que ficou bem machucado, uma longa história de gravidez, o retorno de Thabita, uma caça a um boneco, um pouco do passado de Victor, e o resto são pontas soltas. Num momento um personagem fala exatamente o que achei de Boyd nesta temporada, perdeu sua credibilidade da primeira temporada, o fim de Jim é também tudo o que esperava visto que estava chato e uma planta. Outra planta foi o pai do Victor que apareceu para ficar bebendo no bar. O destaque fica para Victor, Jade, Tabhita e Donna.

Imagine having a conversation with someone that could not complete a full sentence. They'd get halfway into a sentence then start a new sentence. That's what it felt like watching From this season.

Hugely disappointing! I binged watched season 3 in the hope there would be something good or even interesting about to happen, or at least some answers to many dead end storylines. Unfortunately I was left deeply disappointed with every episode. Far too many storylines but no real depth or meaning to any. Barely any scenes with the monsters and the acting made this season even more difficult to stomach. I had high hopes as I did enjoy season 1 and 2 but that’s where my enjoyment ends.
