    I enjoy Tales From The Loop, still I can't help feeling the series are a lot of style over substance. The whole Stålenhag aestetic (which i absolutely adore otherwise) seems tacked on, inconsequential to the stories. A lot of gorgeous visuals, slightly dull storytelling, all slathered in well-composed melancholic music. I'll finish it, probably enjoy it, but probably forget all about it.

    For fans of Stålenhag, have a look. Otherwise, i suggest checking out "Devs". Bit of a similar vibe, but with an interesting story.

    • Devs is great. Tales from the Loop had a flavour of 'Dark' which i also think is awesome.Morning_star
    • Loved Dark.
      2 episodes from finishing Devs.
      Struggled with Tales From the Loop, less of a binge than the other two...
