Tales From the Loop might be the bleakest thing on TV since Threads. It was not good for my mental health, I quit watching after two episodes.

I like the artwork, he’s great at world building. Hopefully, this show is a bit more entertaining and less depressingly grim.

True, Threads had something for everyone in a 20-mile radius.

It wasn’t just me then? Thank you. :+1:

I feel that Simon Stålenhag’s artwork is contemplative and elegiac, so I was surprised by the tone of the series. I felt the same about the shift between the comic page and movie screen for Hellboy; though Del Toro’s humorous tone was different to what I expected, but at least I was able to enjoy it.

I couldn’t complete the first episode. I found it simultaneously boring and grim.

A romantic comedy about Debbie and her search for love in mid-eighties Sheffield. One star.

Electric State looks like it might be good. Somewhere on a scale from Fallout to The Last of Us.
