“The truth doesn’t set you free. It traps you deeper.”

And Season 4 on MGM+ doesn’t just whisper that tagline—it carves it into your soul.

This is the darkest, most psychologically brutal chapter yet. After years of circling the mystery, the show finally starts connecting the dots… but every answer feels like a fresh wound. The slow-burn pace that made From so addictive is still here, only now it’s weaponized—sharper, heavier, and far more suffocating. The town isn’t just a place anymore; it’s a living sentence, and escape might be the cruelest illusion of all.

Harold Perrineau gives the performance of his career as Boyd. The reluctant sheriff is breaking—physically, emotionally, morally. Every choice he makes costs lives, and you can see the man behind the leader unraveling in real time. It’s raw, heartbreaking, and impossible to look away from. Catalina Sandino Moreno brings quiet, shattering vulnerability as a mother clinging to hope that’s slipping through her fingers. David Alpay thrives in the moral gray, and Eion Bailey’s haunted presence keeps the dread simmering. No one is safe. Plot armor? Buried somewhere in the woods.

The mythology deepens in devastating ways: the origin of the town, cycles of reincarnation, the true nature of the creatures, and the gut-punch question—can anyone really leave? Answers come in fragments—through visions, trauma, and blood—and they’re never comforting.

The horror is masterful: longer, crueler night sequences where the creatures stalk with chilling intelligence and sadistic patience. Silence becomes a weapon. The atmosphere is thick with despair—hope itself starts to feel like the real trap.

From Season 4 isn’t just expanding the mystery; it’s turning it into existential terror. Confident, merciless, and utterly compelling.
