Tales from the Loop (2020)
Subtle, deeply wonderful
This is a subtle, moving look at profound human ideas-aging, identity, love, loneliness, time.
It uses wonderfully imagined sci-fi to cover these ideas. The use of 50's/60's tech and clunky
"future" tech is inspired. I will rewatch this miniseries to reflect on its themes. It is not high speed,
instant payoff but reflective; that makes all the difference!
Barkskins (2020)
Surprised
Really good look at a place and time on the historical edge; three empires compete (English, French and Iroquois) for land and power.
Major plot hole from Episode 7 to 8, but well done nonetheless. Curious how they will deal the time span of the novel.
Anon (2018)
Topical, intelligent
In an age of vanishing privacy, this is a fun, but thoughtful, look at the issue of Big Data and how
it might be used to control society. A different spin on "Minority Report" in a way, yet interesting in
it's own right. Seyfried's character says it best at the end "It's not that I have anything to hide. It's
that I have nothing I want you to see."
Babylon Berlin (2017)
Great miniseries!
This was a powerful, authentic feeling miniseries about Berlin just before "nightfall " in 1933.
Very rich in characters, art direction and script, it was a tremendously compelling story.
The ending was fitting and also powerful. Very highly recommended for anyone who
enjoys an excellent historical story was told; much better than a "docudrama."
