Transpose

I found this episode took me back to the times I had with my best friend when we were young. Very nicely done -- with a very powerful ending -- loving how we stay in town for all the stories and the characters keep crossing paths --- ultra cool episode should be rated higher.

The story telling of this show is really weird and interesting at the same time, it's like an anthology and also it isn't. This episode focuses on two boys who switch bodies thanks to a machine and we get to know why this isn't a good idea. The pacing, the world and the details are cruical since the twist at the end is built on a detail that if you noticed you will get.

This episode was better than the pilot since it focused more on morals and it made me think how weird this would actually be to experience. This show so far really giving me Dark + Black Mirror vibes and I am all for it, I love how this show also tells everything and tells nothing at the same time.

9 out of 10 since they didn't show enough of the other guy's POV (Danny)

"Tales from the Loop" S01E02 "Transpose" again has the feel of a Twilight Zone or even a Black Mirror ep but continues with the sllllloooowwww pacing. I fell asleep twice, had to rewind, rewatch, it's a chore and watching a show shouldn't be a chore. This second episode had an interesting "Freaky Friday" twist but it lacks plausibility, especially with kids involved. It's clear the series proceeds serially now, it's not an anthology, the eps are connected though it appears loosely, not like a typical US series where it's the same characters ep after ep, this one introduces new ones but keeps prior ones on deck. Just wish the pacing was picked up, lingering for artistic sake is tiring, not special.

I really wanted to like this more. I do love the style of the setting, but this is just so slow paced with sleep inducing music and the plot is way too obvious.

Probably could trim out 50% of the episode and still tell the same story. Very enjoyable though and am looking forward to how these characters develop now that I have a the backstory.
