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...Bluejam - Also, Devs is 8 episodes total. Love miniseries.jagara
- Tales from the loop didn’t quite hit the mark. Felt flat.thumb_screws
- I love Tales from the Loop.Ramanisky2
- I watch this when I have trouble falling asleep.bezoar
- I gave up on Loop after four eps. The one with the time-freezing dildo.i_monk
- Dark added to watchlist :)jagara
- Dark >>> Loopi_monk
- Time dildo episode was pretty good, IMHO :)jagara

Oh, and for weird, ridiculous and nonsensical (but very entertaining and original), check out "The OA".
Not for everyone.

- Homecoming, Sci-Fi ??Ramanisky2

- I don’t recall anything sci-fi about itRamanisky2

Hear me out:
An HBO tv series, similar to Chernobyl, about 1960s Soviet space program -- except Gagarin is giant.
- Gagarin goes up a hiant, or returns from space a giant? If the former, that would be a bit daft, given the implications of the rocket equationNairn
- Two Gagarins return from space, the original and a giant one, aliens make a giant copydrgs
- Ooh. Then yes.Nairn
- i like it. i will feel sorry for the guy's wife who now has to handle both of them.sarahfailin
- in teres tingBennn
- But whycannonball1978
- Why not :DBennn
- Also the moon is hauntedscarabin
- @scara duh the moon is haunted, that's why they had to fake the moon landings.garbage
- What's the name of the show???CyBrainX
- Is this an existing TV show?
or a TV show idea?
I like both ideasutopian - Ideadrgs
- I'd watch the.shit out of this.Akagiyama
- The Soviets kill the giant Gagarin and try to hide it, but this is when the really weird shit starts to happendrgs

Not sure I'll bother with Raised By Wolves s2 after that finale.
- I'm midway through the finale now. I've been mostly interested by the story but can easily see the wheels coming off.MondoMorphic
- omfg, the wheels came off in the first episode with the crusaders vs atheists crapmonospaced
- I need to watch the last episode again. Felt really pissed off the other day by that ending.Ianbolton
- Scott's lost it. I should have known better after Prometheus and Covenant.i_monk
- Similar to Devs: more fiction and less science towards the enddrgs
- Well, I enjoyed it.DRIFTMONKEY
- The show is stupid and tries too hard.cannonball1978
- I liked it, def waiting for season 2drgs

Sooo many questions; not like it was a well-orchestrated mystery but like none of it made sense and now it's all WTF was that?MondoMorphic

Anyone watching or finished the 100?
Started it last week, on season 3 now, started off as a low budget firefly like show, terrible effects, terrible acting, terrible costumes, but there was something in the moral dilemmas and tough choices that they had to make that sort of kept it interesting.
season 3 feels much better production-wise but now it feels like game of T̶h̶r̶o̶n̶e̶s̶ 100
I hear season 4 and 5 are great so i might just plough through.
- Let me know when finished... because I tried I REALLY tried. Could not push through season 1 because all the main points you made above.Ramanisky2
- Watched the last episode the other day, it was alright. Went on a bit, but I needed to see it through.PhanLo
- Gave up on it in season 5 or 6.i_monk
- I started it, loved it, then later felt like i was watching a show for teens and dropped it. I actually thought the costumes were the best partscarabin
- ^ teen drama/romance vibes for sure. I started watching it with my teen daughter. It got better later onGnash

i know they were both kinda panned but i went back and re-watched the two alien prequels ("prometheus" and "covenant") recently and they're goddamn good.
compared maybe to the lo-budget horror of the original they're, well just not that . but as just science fiction, it's a really great story with decent enough pacing. the only thing i think both fail at is the "final fight" scene where it all just gets a bit outlandish (especially in covenant).
anyway if you're looking for some sci-fi to pass the time with.
- Agreed. They have their flaws, but I think they were panned because most people got confused because they were unfamiliar with the canon.garbage
- Kind of like how it's never really stated that Blade Runner takes place in the Alien Universe. I'm expecting Raised by Wolves will be the same.garbage
- Scott needs to surround himself with people willing to say 'no'.i_monk
- I wish Scott had been allowed to make the Prometheus sequel he'd intended to make, rather than Covenant, which is what the studio forced him to make.MondoMorphic
- @i_monk I have some issues with Scott (he claimed that the neo-noir elements of BR were his idea and that he never bothered to read Philip K Dick, which is..garbage
- ..an outright lie). But he still is a fantastic director. Lucas would be more of the "needs less yes-men" type of director.garbage
- The universe is great visually, but the story was a big mess. Still enjoyed watching it though, so much good concept work in them both.PhanLo
- totally agree, re-watched them myself lately too and they were much better than I remembered, as opposed to the "Resurrection" one.rzu-rzu
- Also Alien 3 was quite nice, but only the director's cut, the one shown at the movies was terribly mutilatedrzu-rzu
- The problem could probably be named Lucas Syndrome or something, sure, but Scott clearly isn't getting any creative pushback to keep focus.i_monk
