“November again. It’s more winter than autumn…The trees are revealing their structures. There’s the catch of fire in the air. All the souls are out marauding. But there are roses, there are still roses. In the damp and the cold, on a bush that looks done, there’s a wide-open rose, still. Look at the colour of it.”

Not something I expected to appreciate so much, but…

I really like that From does not rely on killing off major characters for shock value or to fill in for a weak plot. Yes, characters die, and yes, major characters have died. But despite it being a horror show, shockingly few major characters have ended up dead. And I love that about this show. The fear that your favorite character might die next episode is always present, but it uses the tension of that possibility to build up the plot, rather than just taking the easy route and killing off half the cast each season until you only recognize three people.

I guess I’ve gotten so used to shows that are so eager to kill off their characters for shock value that seeing a show rely on actual writing and horror techniques is… amazing to me. But it is something that I really enjoy, and it makes it so much more impactful when major characters do end up dying.
