7 Tv Shows To Binge If You Like From

So, you've just finished From. And now? You're probably staring at your TV screen with that aha! moment, followed by a profound sense of "wait, what do I do now?!" It's that specific kind of existential dread mixed with a desperate need for more creepy, mysterious, and downright baffling television. Don't worry, friend, I've been there. That feeling of being stranded in a town with no escape, where the night brings terrors you can't explain? Yeah, it sticks with you.

But fear not! Your trusty guide to all things binge-worthy is here to pull you out of that metaphorical (and perhaps literal, depending on your streaming service) void. We're going to dive into some shows that will scratch that From itch, the ones that will make you say, "Okay, this is weird, I love it," or "Whoa, what is GOING ON?!" Get ready to clear your schedule, because we've got a whole new set of mysteries to unravel.

This isn't just a list; it's a survival guide for the post-From soul. We're talking about shows with that perfect blend of suspense, unsettling atmospheres, and characters you can't help but root for (even when they're making questionable decisions, which, let's be honest, is half the fun).

1. Lost (2004-2010)

Okay, okay, I know. You're thinking, "Isn't this the OG of 'what the heck is happening?' shows?" And you're absolutely right! If you loved the deep dive into the lore and the constant "aha!" moments (followed by more questions) in From, then Lost is your spiritual predecessor. Think of it as From's slightly more chaotic, plane-crash-surviving older sibling.

We've got a plane crash, a mysterious island, and a whole lot of secrets. There are flashbacks, flash-forwards, smoke monsters, and polar bears in the desert. Yes, you read that right. It’s a show that thrives on its mythology and keeps you guessing until the very last second. It's a marathon, not a sprint, but trust me, the journey is utterly compelling.

The characters are the heart of this show. You’ll get attached. You’ll rage at their decisions. You’ll cry. You’ll definitely wonder why they couldn’t just, you know, build a raft out of something other than… well, you’ll see.

And that feeling of being utterly lost, both literally and figuratively? Lost perfected it. Just like in From, everyone has a backstory, and nothing is ever as it seems. If you’re ready for a massive commitment to a show that will live rent-free in your head for years, Lost is calling your name.

2. The Leftovers (2014-2017)

This one is a bit more philosophical, a bit more melancholic, but it’s an absolute masterpiece of mystery and human connection. Imagine a world where 2% of the population suddenly, inexplicably, vanishes. Poof! Gone. That’s the premise of The Leftovers. It’s less about the how and more about the what now?

Much like From, it deals with the aftermath of an inexplicable event and how people try to cope with the unknown. It's a show that’s not afraid to explore grief, faith, and the search for meaning in a world that’s been fundamentally altered. The atmosphere is thick with unspoken anxieties, and the characters’ journeys are incredibly powerful.

Damon Lindelof, one of the masterminds behind Lost, also helmed this show, so you know you're in for some deep dives into complex themes and character development. The acting is superb, particularly from Justin Theroux, who plays a police chief struggling with his own demons.

If you enjoyed the emotional weight and the lingering questions of From, The Leftovers will hit you right in the feels. It might leave you feeling a little heavy, but it will also leave you feeling understood, in a strange, televised kind of way. Prepare for some truly unforgettable moments and some truly baffling ones too. It’s the kind of show that makes you think about life, the universe, and everything… and probably cry a little.

3. Yellowjackets (2021-Present)

Alright, let’s crank up the creepy factor a notch. If you liked the primal fear and the sense of impending doom in From, then Yellowjackets is going to be right up your alley. This show is a wild ride, split between a 1996 plane crash that strands a high school girls’ soccer team in the wilderness, and their adult lives 25 years later, still dealing with the trauma of what happened.

And when I say "wilderness," I mean a wilderness that seems to have its own sinister agenda. There are whispers of dark rituals, cannibalism, and general all-around madness. It’s a show that masterfully blends survival horror with a psychological thriller, and the mystery of what really went down out there is what hooks you.

The dual timelines are brilliant. You’re constantly piecing together what happened to the girls as they devolved into something… else, while also seeing the devastating impact it had on their adult lives. The cast is phenomenal, both the younger and older versions of the characters. Think of it as a dark, twisted coming-of-age story mixed with a horror film that will keep you up at night.

If you enjoyed the way From hinted at the darkness lurking beneath the surface, Yellowjackets dives headfirst into it. It's got that unsettling feeling that something is deeply wrong, and the constant fear of what’s going to happen next. Plus, the soundtrack is killer. Just try not to think about jerky too much afterwards.

4. Severance (2022-Present)

Now, let’s talk about a different kind of isolation. If the claustrophobia and the feeling of being trapped in From resonated with you, then Severance is going to mess with your head in the best possible way. Imagine a workplace where your work memories are surgically separated from your personal life memories. Sounds… neat, right? WRONG.

This show is a masterpiece of sterile, unsettling atmosphere. The Lumon Industries office is a labyrinth of white corridors and sterile rooms, and the employees, or "innies" as they're called, have no idea who they are outside of their work. It’s a chilling exploration of identity, corporate control, and the desire for escape.

Adam Scott is incredible as Mark Scout, the protagonist who’s trying to piece together the puzzle. The writing is razor-sharp, the directing is sublime (by Ben Stiller, no less!), and the mystery is intricate and utterly captivating. You’ll be asking yourself, "What are they actually doing in there?" just like you were with the monsters in From.

If you enjoyed the slow-burn mystery and the feeling of being in on a secret that the characters aren't, Severance is your next binge. It’s a show that’s both mind-bending and surprisingly emotional. Just be careful, you might start questioning your own work-life balance in a whole new, terrifying way.

5. Dark (2017-2020)

Okay, buckle up, because Dark is like From on an extreme, German, time-bending, mind-melty diet. If you liked the complex interwoven storylines and the deep, dark secrets that From hinted at, this show takes it to a whole new level. It’s a German science-fiction thriller that’s, well, dark.

It starts with the disappearance of a child in a small German town, and it quickly spirals into a mystery involving time travel, multiple timelines, and generations of interwoven families. You will need to pay attention. Like, really pay attention. Maybe keep a whiteboard handy. Or a trusted friend who’s also watching to help you decipher the family trees.

The atmosphere is incredibly moody and oppressive, much like the ever-present dread in From. The characters are all connected in ways that are shocking and profound, and the overarching mystery is one of the most intricate I’ve ever seen on television. It’s a show that rewards patience and a willingness to be utterly confused for a while before everything starts to click into place.

If you loved the feeling of uncovering layers of mystery in From and enjoy a good, complex puzzle that spans years (and even centuries!), then Dark is an absolute must-watch. Just be prepared to have your brain thoroughly wrung out by the end. And possibly need a nap.

6. The Society (2019-2020)

This one is a bit more of a YA vibe, but it absolutely nails that feeling of being stranded and trying to build a society from scratch, with all the inherent chaos that comes with it. If you enjoyed the initial setup of From where the townspeople are trying to survive and make sense of their new reality, you’ll find something to love here.

In The Society, a group of high school students returns from a camping trip to find that everyone else in their town has vanished. They are left to their own devices, with no adults, no parents, and no rules. What happens next? Well, it gets… interesting.

It’s a show that explores themes of power, morality, and what happens when the veneer of civilization is stripped away. There’s a mystery to why everyone disappeared, and the students have to figure out how to survive and govern themselves. It’s got that slightly unsettling feel of the unknown, similar to the monsters in From, but the focus is more on the human drama and the struggle for control.

If you liked the community aspect of From and the questions about how people behave when faced with the impossible, The Society offers a more focused, perhaps slightly less terrifying (but still pretty tense!) look at a similar scenario. It’s a quick binge, and it leaves you wanting more, much like the first season of From did!

7. Midnight Mass (2021)

For our final pick, let’s lean into the atmospheric dread and the deeply unsettling religious undertones that sometimes permeated From. Midnight Mass, from Mike Flanagan (who is basically the king of modern horror), is a masterful slow burn that will get under your skin. It’s set on a remote, dying island community where the arrival of a charismatic young priest coincides with a series of strange miracles.

But are they miracles? Or is something much more sinister at play? This show is less about jump scares and more about building a profound sense of unease and exploring themes of faith, doubt, addiction, and redemption. The dialogue is incredibly rich and philosophical, and the performances are outstanding.

If you enjoyed the way From used its mystery to explore deeper human fears and the complex nature of belief, Midnight Mass will resonate deeply. It’s a contained story, beautifully told, that will leave you contemplating its themes long after the credits roll. It has that same feeling of a place holding dark secrets, and the characters grappling with something they don't fully understand, much like the residents of Colony.

It's a show that's as thought-provoking as it is terrifying. So, grab your favorite blanket, maybe a calming beverage, and prepare to be utterly engrossed. You might even find yourself reflecting on your own beliefs, which is always a good sign of a compelling story!

So there you have it! A handful of shows to keep you company while you impatiently wait for the next season of From (or just when you need a good dose of mystery and suspense). Remember, every good binge-watch is a journey, and sometimes, the best part is the exploration itself. You’ve navigated the horrors of Colony, and now you can tackle these new, exciting, and wonderfully weird worlds. Happy streaming, and may your theories be as wild as the ones we're all cooking up for Colony! You've got this!
