Sci-fi horror ranked in the top 10 on Prime Video

“Fromm” is one of the highest-rated shows on streaming services right now The first season of this sci-fi horror show earned a 96% “fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and the second season dipped slightly to 92% This “fresh” 94% overall rating is something most shows can only dream of

The problem is that the show has struggled to find a home, which has made it harder for some viewers to find it The first season aired on Epix, but was later rebranded to MGM Plus, a sibling streamer on Prime Video The second season of Fromm was distributed there, and a third season will be available later this year

However, the entire first season is now available for streaming as part of a Prime Video subscription, and the second season is available with the addition of an MGM Plus subscription (currently available for a 7-day free trial) on September 22 You'll have plenty to watch before the third season is available on MGM Plus Here's why you should start watching “Fromm” now

“Frome” takes place in a town from which there is no escape You have to detour to see the trees blocking the road as crows circle above you Once detoured, no matter how many times they drive around in circles, they are stuck, unable to leave the town It is as if someone or something has chosen them to be there

If that were the only terrifying thing about this small, remote American town, it would be creepy enough But the nightmares don't end there At night, a creature appears that kills anyone who is outside their homes or who invites it into their homes

If the premise of Fromm sounds a little familiar, there's a reason for that The show not only shares a partial premise with ABC's hit show “Lost,” about survivors of a commercial jet crash on a remote island It also shares two executive producers, Jack Bender and Jeff Pinker, with the ABC drama

Despite the easy comparisons to “Lost,” that's not really a bad thing for this show James White, in his review for Empire magazine, said that “From” Season 1 largely passes off comparisons to “LOST,” while Andrew Dex, a contributor to Starburst magazine, said that “From” succeeds in being as addictive as “LOST” He says that it is, and that “each time you get an answer, the questions deepen”

Another similarity to “Lost” is the show's large ensemble cast, the majority of which consists of lesser-known actors While “From” does not have the large cast of “Lost,” it does have nearly 20 members in its main cast

Leading this town full of unmotivated residents is “LOST” alumnus Harold Perrineau as Boyd Stevens Stevens is a former Army veteran who has become the town sheriff He was nominated for a Saturn Award for Best Actor for his performance in season one

Nevertheless, “Fromm” is clearly a horror show Expect monsters, violence, and gore Several critics, from Common Sense Media's Jenny Nixon to the Sydney Morning Herald's Brad Newsom, have praised the show's bloody horror, with CBR's Josh Bell noting that “Every time the show seems to get tied up in personal drama, there's a gruesome There are gruesome deaths”

Between the compelling premise, an above-average cast led by Perrineau, and well-crafted horror, “Fromm” is a must-see now that you can check out season 1 on Prime Video When Season 3 comes out later this year, expect Amazon to make Season 2 available for free on Prime Video as well

Otherwise, you will need to subscribe to MGM Plus to continue watching Given the quality of this program, I might be tempted to subscribe
