Slow, tedious, and full of plot holes
14 October 2021
I watched until the start of the final episode (Episode 8, 'Home') of Series 1.

I honestly just got sick of this programme. I kept pushing through, but it is just so slow, really too tedious with almost no explanation of anything, and some plot holes were just so gaping that it is difficult to ignore them... and there are many plot holes.

This programme is trying to hard to be smart and unique, that it ends up actually being more vacuous and generic.

I really do enjoy scifi, slow burn series and films, philosophy and classical as well as farfetched potential science, time travel, and all that jazz... Tales From (sorry, 'from' is not capitalised in the official title, even though because it is more than three letters it should be, even when it is the kind of word you wouldn't usually capitalise in a title/proper noun) the Loop is really just not a good programme, unless you only have a passing interest in such scifi.

Viewers who spend actual leisure time pondering and reading about the Universe, reality, time travel, life and death, and other existential and abnormal science I think will find this much more of a letdown than a general scifi viewer.

Some pretty CGI, but writing is a major letdown. Acting was decent enough.
