C (Dragonfly)

I just found this gem series and just watching episode 5 already 🤣 it’s way passed my bedtime but thank goodness it’s Friday night 🤭

My favourite version of the book. The cast is fantastic and the script beautifully adapted. The 3 episodes give the characters time to breathe.

Wasn't too sure about it to begin with, then again, that's like getting to know the cast changes on 'Death in Paradise'! It takes a few episodes to see the chemistry. The locations are beautiful, the characters are likeable (even grumpy Ines) and the crimes are light hearted mysteries - great combination and pleasant escape from the lockdown!

We are so used to storytellers that give us the answers, the clever dialogue, that perhaps we no longer work things out for ourselves. Tales From the Loop give us time to immerse ourselves into the day to day reality of the protagonist in each story. The visuals are omitted for certain scenes in horror movies to leave the audience to imagine the worse. In contrast, this series uses the visuals to evoke the feelings, but mute the dialogue, just enough space for the audience to imagine the aha moment.
