TV: Tales From The Loop (Amazon Prime)

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I've started this. Had been meaning to from it's initial release and then my son put a drum stick (music not food) through the middle of the TV screen the first week of remote learning kindergarten.

Visually looks as compelling as the art that inspired it. Hope the story is entertaining enough.

Overall this was good. Two of the 8 stories I could have gone without, but I thought the series was visually nice (though too often too dark) and the characters were written well. The music is my biggest positive take away. Philip Glass is amazing.
