"The Loop" is a vast scientific research station where they study anomalies and engineer little miracles. The product of what they do and study there is so fantastic that it can only be described as "Fantasy". Yet, despite that, they tend to leave their toys out rusting in the fields for people to get into trouble with. Not very realistic, logically speaking.
This show uses anomalous happenings to create dramatic situations rather than using it to examine the human condition directly. Some of the stories are quite excellent but I could never get into caring that much for the people who's lives are affected. The over the top social interactions are often very cringeworthy and seemingly forced. This combined with an almost monotoned, consistently depressing background track that seems to be unresponsive to what is going on in the story much of the time like someone doesn't appreciate juxtaposition.
I think most aspects of the story were good in general. Yet the over reactions and forced interjecting of drama inducing nonsense was quite obvious. This is what a poorly directed and musically inflexible story looks like.
Edit: I just looked up that each of the stories is directed by a different person. This is a terrible idea. A director is responsible for the artistic vision. 8 different people are going to have 8 different styles!! That's like painting by committee!!
I would recommend watching it for those who wish to critically observe how this effect ruins a perfectly good story.
