Taking up where this left off in another thread: https://www.scivillage.com/thread-8732-p...l#pid36557
After watching the first three episodes (one a day), Tales from the Loop seems to slightly echo Stranger Things as far as revolving around kids and their families. But not in any juvenile sense of being unwatchable by adults. Each episode "apparently" introduces a secondary character that gets their own story in the next, kind of like an interlinked chain of rings.
Although the woodsy town environment, quiet pace, and unusually diminished HBO level of profanity lend it a kind of Norman Rockwell ambiance in the beginning, that ends with the appearance of the nipple and angry exchanges in "Stasis".
