Good sci-fi isn’t always the one that features intergalactic plotlines, time-travel mysteries, or alien invasions. But rather the one who knows how to elevate its scientific elements and use it to explore relevant subjects or hold a mirror to the human condition. TV shows like Westworld, Altered Carbon, and even Black Mirror have all done a pretty great job of examining humanity even when the sci-fi elements get increasingly complicated. And the newest addition is Tales from the Loop, a semi-anthology sci-fi that was released on Amazon Prime in April third. But unlike the three aforementioned shows, Tales from the Loop isn’t here to remind us about the danger of technology advancement. Instead, it’s quite the opposite: celebrating the magic and wonder of technology, as well as its complex relation to human beings.

MORE THAN A SCI-FI

Created by Nathaniel Halpern (Legion) and executive produced by Matt Reeves, Tales from the Loop is inspired by a digital painting book of the same name from a famous Swedish artist Simon Stålenhag. The story takes place in a fictional small town of Mercer, Ohio, where a facility named Mercer Center for Experimental Physics or The Loop is located underneath the town and its people. If this setup sounds like a carbon copy of the widely beloved Stranger Things, don’t worry, it’s not. There won’t be any demogorgons or conspiracies. Even when it’s also set in the 80s, Tales from the Loop isn’t the kind of show that’s drenched in nostalgia or pop-culture references. What the show offers here is just a mundane look at the people of Mercer whose lives are highly affected by the big black orb inside The Loop known as The Eclipse.

On a lesser show, this black orb and how it’s able to affect the lives of the Mercer people will easily be the central mystery. But Tales from the Loop isn’t wasting any time to explain all of those. In fact, until the very last episode, the show is never interested in examining whatever it is the scientific theory behind the orb. And that’s not a bad thing at all. Oftentimes, sci-fi movies or TV shows only focus on explaining the idea behind the science, thus making all the characters’ actions only exist in the realm of the sci-fi logic, not because it’s the human thing to do. But by dismissing the mystery right from the get go, Tales from the Loop can put the focus more on the characters’ journey and explore more interesting subjects.
