From - US Pace - Epix (***Spoilers***)

AllForIt

I thought season 2 finale was a bit of a let down given how good the penultimate despite was. I liked the cliffhanger ending though.

From has certainly joined the plethora of wtf'ery shows of recent years by upping the ante in this season 2 finale. In the not too distant past, most shows of this ilk might have hovered between 'is it supernatural or natural?', but now there is the extra layer borrowed from philosophy of mind and science fiction known as the 'brain-in-box-in-the-box' thought experiment; 'is it all a simulation?', which is the modern version of 'is it all a dream?'.

The use of the horror element of the monsters has the air of the supernatural fantasy in it, but which may be neutralized by the notion of dreams as natural, or even a simulation. It's all a heady mix of wtf'ery which I've quite enjoyed. All the elements seem to be those of a shared dream, as an enactment of shared fears, but dreams shared doesn't seem quite right ... unless they are really shared simulations, strengthened by the manner of Taibitha's exit - though it could still be a narrative of a dream within a dream. I think, actually, at the moment, that's where it's at; this all seems to be the mythical quest fantasy of young Ethan, who has incorporated the fears of others from real life into his literal nightmare.

Hadn't heard of this until less than a week ago. It's on HBO here. Terrible show name!

Finished s1e6 last night. It's really good. Thankfully they knocked the Lost plot on the head this episode. If it had gone that route I'd have not been happy.

Season 2 started on Sky Sci Fi the 25th of July and is repeated later in the week

Finished season 1 last night. Last episode was disappointing.

Finished this last night. I actually enjoyed series two more than series one. Pleased we actually saw Tabitha go into the lighthouse, I was expecting it to end there.

I think if you accept from the outset that you're not going to get a lot of answers and just go with it then you'll be a lot more satisfied.

Finished season 2 so up to date. Overall enjoyable but a bit too much mystery. Getting 'Lost' vibes where it's just one unexplained mystery after another with ultimately little pay off, remains to be seen whether that'll happen though. The horror elements are great. The characters are well written in the sense that they are reacting as you'd expect different personalities to react in that kind of absurd situation

I don't really do trailers, so didn't sneak a peak. Delighted there's a good wtf'ery show back on the horizon. TV land has been missing that brand of mind-grinding for a while.

My only gripe is there was A LOT OF SHOUTING AND SCREAMING in the various episodes.
