Awesome Sci Fi Series that’s hard to explain

In summary, Tales from the Loop is a series with a similar mood to Interstellar, set on Earth where people lead quiet lives of desperation. It follows the lives of those affected by the underground physics lab, the Loop, where the impossible becomes possible. Each episode is focused on a theme while still being connected in unusual ways. The cinematography and mood are ethereal and can evoke emotions of sadness. The show has been compared to a combination of Interstellar and The Dome, and is difficult to describe but must be seen to be understood. It captures the feeling of growing up in upstate New York, with its changing seasons and eerie atmosphere. Although it is only available on Amazon Prime, a trial subscription can be obtained to watch the eight

I just watched season one of Tales from the Loop. It has the mood of Interstellar on the Earth where people live quiet lives of desperation. There’s an underground physics lab nicknamed the Loop where the impossible becomes possible. There’s the people whose lives are affected in strange ways and how they cope with it.

Each episode stands on it own focused on a theme and yet is connected to the other episodes in unusual ways. The cinematography and mood is very ethereal too enough to make you cry from sadness.

The shots from the trailer look beautiful but unfortunately it's exclusively Amazon Prime :frown:

Sounds like the love-child of Interstellar and The Dome.

It really defies description but you’ll have to see it to understand.

It reminds of growing up in upstate NY and playing in the woods. Sometimes we’d see patches of snow in the spring time. Sometimes in the fall the woods would be somewhat bleak. This series captures that vibe.

You can always get a trial subscription to prime just to watch these eight episodes.
