History Series / TalesFromTheLoop

* SettingUpdate: The source material was set (or at least based on) 1980's rural Sweden. The show takes place in rural 1980's America, specifically in the town of Mercer, Ohio.

* SingleTear: [[spoiler:Cole asks his mother if she missed him while he was gone for last couple of decades. She sheds a single tear before quietly breaking down into sobs and answering "More than anything."]]

* TheWorkaholic: Loretta's mother, Cole's mother, and Russ. All were scientists in the Loop, and their heavy focus on their work resulted in them alienating their children.

* AdultFear:
** [[spoiler:Has your child suddenly become more aloof? They switched bodies with their best friend without you knowing it. And your child dies in their best friend's body and your child is now a stranger partially responsible for your ''real'' child's death.]]
*** To rub salt in the wound, [[spoiler:your youngest kid suddenly disappears while this is all happening, and your significant other dies, leaving you alone with nothing but the work that you had focused so much on over your own family.]]
** Trying to attack (with intent to kill or seriously harm) an intruder, only to find that it's just your young deaf daughter (who ''somehow'' is outside) trying to hide from you. Kate is understandably furious when Ed does this.

* FreakyFridayFlip: Jakob and Danny Jannson swap bodies via mysterious sphere found in the woods. They say that it's only going to be for a day. However, it turns out that Danny likes Jakob's life and doesn't want to give it up. [[spoiler:Jakob-in-Danny's-body ends up going back into the sphere and Jakob's consciousness ends up inside a robot, leaving Danny's body comatose and Danny living Jakob's life, until the final episode when the truth is revealed.]]

''Tales from the Loop'' focuses on the adventures of those who live in Mercer, Ohio above the Loop, known formally as the Mercer Center for Experimental Physics. Everything within the Loop is powered by "the Eclipse," a mysterious object of unknown origin said to be the facility's "beating heart," and the remains of the experiments there affect the residents of Mercer in strange and fantastic ways.

*** Bonus ShoutOut[=/=]{{Foreshadowing}}: "Stasis" is a WholePlotRefeence to ''Film/SummerWithMonika.''

* ShoutOut: "Loop" gives one to the book and [=RPG's=] Swedish setting: Alma is Swedish, and Loretta listens to a 1955 Swedish pop song on her phonograph.

** Episode 4. Death is a part of life. You only have so much time, so enjoy it as much as you can with the people you love. Also an aesop in Episodes 3 and 8, that time can pass by in the blink of an eye, so you need to take time to enjoy the people and things around you.

* BilingualBonus: The song that Loretta listens to on the radio in Episode 1 is Rumba i Engelska Parken by Owe Thörnqvist. It came out in [[spoiler:1955. The fact that It's playing on the radio is the first clue that Loretta is not from the 1980s time period the rest of the show is set in.]]

* ShoutOut: "Loop" gives one to the book and [=RPG's=] Swedish setting: Alma is Swedish, and Loretta listens to circa 1954 Swedish pop music on her phonograph.
