I just finished watching "Tales From the Loop" on Prime. Slow, plodding, but also fascinating. A collection of stories from a non-descript small town that's built over "The Loop," a research facility where the science-fiction scientifc experiments leech into the surrounding area and irrevocably change the lives of everyone who is seemingly doomed to remain there and eventually go to work either underground in The Loop or one of the more mundane jobs in town. The performances are quiet and reserved, and the characters all seem resigned to their respective fates. It's only 8 episodes, but it is more dense than some shows that run for multiple seasons.
