Watch This Overlooked Sci-Fi Series Instead Of Netflix’s The Electric State

“The Electric State” from Netflix is ​​not very good. According to most of the standards, it is a full disaster – a very expensive movie and free of purpose so that it challenges frankly logic. This is especially true if you have read the book on which the Swedish writer and artist Simon Stolhhaj depends.

Stålenhag wrote for each center on different science fiction ideas, but coordination remains the same in general. They are large books full of wonderful digital art for worlds like us, but they are also different. These images are accompanied by a way or another way of prose, and they tell a written story or at least add context to the scenes that are shown. Where “The Electric State” shows an American scene destroyed by the warplanes and VR addiction, “Tales from The Loop” and “Things from the Flood,” The former Stålenhag Book, followed a Swedish city and a mysterious scientific research facility that carries it, in addition to various robotic creations and a phenomenon that was seen around the countryside. The topic changes, but the tone and elegance remain the same in the books.

In a vacuum, the “electrical state” is bad, but it is the worst coat. Stålenhag’s action is sadness, insulation, and very beautiful, with a lot of exciting ideas in his captivating art. “The Electric State” is a movie where Stanley Tucci commits the genocide of the robot so that his dead mother can give him the canol.

Fortunately, there is an alternative. Once again in 2020, Prime Video adaptive the first Stålenhag book, “Tales from the Loop”, to a series of 8 episodes. It is great, and ignoring it, so in order to avoid the largest possible number of people, he regretted wasting two hours on Netflix’s “electrical state”, I strongly recommend checking this offer instead.

The series “Tales from The Loop” got a little advertising when it is released, despite obtaining great reviews from critics. It came out during the time when the company seemed more interested in filling the main video shelves with the original content than it was already in marketing this content to the public. Perhaps as a result (or perhaps just because he worked better in this way), the offer got only one season. But it is now good as it was at that time, which is a better reflection of the “Electric State” of “The Electric State” for Netflix.

“Tales from the episode” honestly adapt to the book honestly, but it transports the small Swedish city from the Stolhaj version to the American Middle West. A mysterious government scientific facility called The Loop employs the majority of adults in the city, but technology inside it causes strange things to occur to the residents. A girl finds herself in a timely manner in time. Two friends enter a strange pod that exchange their bodies. A teenage couple finds a way to stop time in the city around them.

Each episode tells a different story, after a science fiction chain model such as “The Twilight Zone” or “Black Mirror”. At the same time, the characters are repeated all the time, the various episodes overlapped and the continuity of the different stories. Nathaniel Halburn was inspired by the short story course of Sherwood Anderson in 1919 “Winesburg, Ohio”, which similarly focuses on the only emotional life of the city’s small characters. The team includes actors such as Rebecca Hall, Jonathan Price, Jane Alexander and Paul Schneider, and they all turn into great offers. But it is the dominant tone and production design that really distinguishes “tales of the episode.”

One of two things during production happened on “The Electric State”. Either Roussos and their creative team abused their understanding largely to the book (which will require an incredible degree of ignorance), or they chose to convert it from a aesthetic science fiction film to a aesthetic to children of spy at a value of $ 320 million). Other than a few shots and designs, there is nothing in the film bearing any of the book’s tone.

“Tales from the Episode”, on the other hand, is a great translation of the unique stålenhag type. Mix advanced science fiction machines with empty pastoral landscape, focus on silence, negative space, mystery, everything there. Music from Philip Glass and Paul Leonard-Morgan are not forgotten, full of hateful piano and series songs that emphasize wonderful cinematic filming. “Tales from the Loop” is an offer you can go to a minutes away without anyone talking, however the audio and visual experience is always very accurate and emotional. It has been designed with experience – not surprisingly, given the production team that included Matt Reeves and a group of directors who appeared in Judy Foster and Boxar Alum Andrew Stanton.

In other words, it clicks on the same ideas that made the book convincing in the first place. It is a shameful matter that the “electrical state” has not even tried.
