. While the show seems to have flown under the radar,Amazon's Tales from the Loop is the most unique sci-fi in years."It has blown me away, it's by far the best thing I've seen all year," she says. "It's unlike any sci-fi, really, that I've seen before – I don't even know if it is sci-fi. It's an unusual series and it's based on the art of Swedish artist Simon Stalenhag ... which is a strange starting point for a series.
"The Loop is a sort of underground, experimental physics laboratory – one of the things I like about [the show] is that there's not a lot of spoon-feeding in this. Nothing is certain, but this Loop affects the whole town. It's eight episodes and each episode focuses on one of the town's inhabitants, who is in either a small way or a large way affected by the strange goings-on in the Loop.
