The comparisons to Lost was making me skeptical, but this made me think this might actually pay off as a series.

And it’s here you can see the obvious overlaps with Lost. The behind-the-scenes links, beyond Perrineau finally getting his dues, are writers Jeff Pinkner and Javier Grillo-Marxuach, and most significantly, director Jack Bender. However From was created by relative newcomer, John Griffin, and there’s no involvement by J.J. Abrams, Damon Lindelof or Carlton Cuse. (And it seems very unlikely Perrineau would have been involved if there had been.) There is, however, some executive producer tagging of the Russo brothers, which is intriguing, given the relative obscurity.

I’m not subscribing to yet another streaming service for one show though.
