What to Know

Critics Consensus

Though the show around them burns a bit too slowly, Tales from the Loop beautifully transposes Simon Stålenhag's paintings into moving art and provides a welcome dose of warmth and humanity with its sci-fi.

Tales from the Loop is reminiscent of science fiction anthologies from the past. For folks who appreciate such things, the show will definitely hit the mark. Go to Full Review

Cinematically, it looks stunning. Every scene could be a painting. Yet the plot is non-existent. It's infuriating. Go to Full Review

All in all, 'Tales from the Loop' is a visually incredible, conceptually suggestive, and narratively improvable series. Go to Full Review

Tales From the Loop is a beautiful reflection on what makes us human and connects us to each other against the backdrop of a world infused with technical marvel. And it's utterly lovely. Go to Full Review

Mark L Dec 29 This is one of the most beautiful series I've ever watched. And the musical score by Phillip Glass was a match made in heaven. Haunting, beautiful, sad and terrifying. See more Ivanka P @ivypalic Dec 7 Absolutely beautiful See more John D. @johndoe Aug 14 It’s good, although kinda slow. Also since each episode is sort of its own story some end up being better than others. Overall I’d say it’s original and good enough to watch, but not something I’d put at the top of my list of looking for something new. See more Claudio T Mar 20 Tales from the Loop offers eight stories linked by a tenuous red thread that do not always manage to live up to the questions on which they are based. Powerful on the audio-visual front, it wants to give exactly a feeling of suspension and indefiniteness, just like the experiments on which it is based. See more SF C @SherSher 11/27/2024 Delightfully poignant and painfully sad at times, this masterpiece is not only imaginative in the storyline but also creative in the development of its characters. I left wanting a season 2! See more Ghosty @Ghosty157 10/17/2024 It is definetly slow, but it is one of the shows that has stuck with me for over 2 years now. It impacted the way I saw the world and I still think about it at least once a month. I explores some very interesting concepts. I also love the way it treats it's characters. I still often think about the robot with a dudes consciousness in it. Whenever I think scifi I think tales from the loop. See more Read all reviews
