Enemies

Thoroughly engrossing episode but no real ending. Just one more shot - not even a full scene - would have made it perfect. You should feel the story concluded instead of going "what?"

I've had a hard time with this series because it seems slow and purposely opaque but, this episode makes it all worth it.

What begins as one of the weakest episodes of the series gradually becomes one of the strongest as its story slowly progresses.

Initially, we're questioning "who are these characters & why are they relevant?" but once answers begin to reveal themselves to us, the impacts of their delivery are really quite extraordinary - considering the fact that they provide context we never knew we needed, clarifying ambiguities which were previously vague throughout the rest of the season - but left to the audience's imaginations. One might say - ironically - it acts as an unexpectedly welcome & poignant "closed loop" within "Tales From The Loop" - ending on a befitting & poetic conclusion.

I don't often feel emotional watching shows - while I thoroughly enjoy the concept of Tales from the loop, the cinematic experience is beautiful and the stories are familiar, sort of a roundup of what's out there , enmeshed with beauty and emotion, but it often feels a bit slow. Even when I understand why,. Had episodes been 1/2 hour with less 'space' maybe but It has to be this way. I can imagine a season two can be amazing as they are in the right path and so I can't give up on it - an episode like this shows the potential. These stories are told with heart and care and my need to be entertained is not lost on me. It's become too easy to mistake my preferences for quality reviewing of films . This episode is a great example. It's all there it's beautiful and it stuck with me. Now feels like what they are doing for with thus series and I appreciate this and hope for a season two.

I can fully agree with the previous review here,this episode was fantastic.It really put a spark on something that you would never expect to provoke emotion in you.All in all a very beautiful episode.
