Since Stephen King discovered the From series, just like any of us would when we find a new obsession, the author has taken every opportunity to recommend it to his millions of followers on social media.

Also, like any of us, King has shared his theories while watching the series. The first one he launched after watching only three episodes, after which he confessed that he was completely hooked and that he thought the series had "a wonderful and very well-developed concept." We do not publish the specific tweet here because any theory when the series has not been seen is sensitive to being a spoiler.

Although not the most popular title among series fans, those who have seen it are as enthusiastic as King and have been equally surprised and horrified by its unique premise and unsettling atmosphere. At Rotten Tomatoes they share the fans' opinion, as 96% of the 26 professional reviews of the first season are positive.

The premise of 'From'

Starring Harold Perrinou, the series tells the story of characters who are trapped in a town from which they cannot escape, where terrifying monsters emerge from the forest every night trying to kill the inhabitants.

The mysteries surrounding the town, the monsters, and other mystical forces become more intriguing and intricate as the series progresses.

The heir of 'Lost'

Since its premiere, the series has been compared to another science fiction and fantasy series about a group of people trapped in a place where they don't want to be: Lost, which had a similarly intriguing premise, combined with an overall tone of certain fatalism.

But the similarities don't end there. Harold Perrineau played Michael for several seasons on the ABC series and now leads the cast of From as the self-proclaimed sheriff and mayor of the town, Boyd Stevens.

In addition, Jack Bender, who was a producer on Lost and directed 43 episodes, is an executive producer on From and has also directed seven episodes of this series.

New season premieres this month

This week Stephen King has once again recommended the series. The author has shared on his profile the message from another user praising Harold Perrinau's performance and stating that From "is the most criminally underrated and undervalued series of all time. It deserves worldwide recognition, one of the best series of recent times in all aspects."

This original series from the now-defunct Epix platform passed into the hands of MGM+, so in some territories it can be seen through Prime Video. In Spain, From is an original from Max, which has the first two seasons available and has confirmed that the third season premieres on September 26.

The series Evil, which King also recommends in his tweet, is equally good (if not better) and unfairly overlooked. Not only by the public, but also by the platforms, as in Spain currently none of its seasons can be viewed.
