Dropping a rec for Madoka Magica here.

Well, Phil does get severely depressed and try to kill himself over and over and over again in the OG loop movie.

This. In fact, most of the short-duration time loop stories I've seen involve the characters getting pretty fucked up by it. Palm Springs (2020) also deals with this. (Minor spoilers: A character who is inadvertently sucked into the timeloop by another character gets murderously angry at that character for fucking up his life.)

Yeah but that's boring and depressing and not fun and I don't wanna read about it.

That's you.

In Stars and Time is a good example of this.

I completely agree. I would find time loop stories so much more interesting if they actually explored the emotional and psychological after-effects of having been stuck in one. There's so much potential there, but it's almost never explored at all.

When the amount of time spent in the time loop is extremely long, it honestly bugs me a lot that the characters just go right back to being their normal selves afterwards. Shorter time loop episodes are like, okay fine whatever, but you cannot tell me that a character just lived ninety years of days stuck in a time loop and isn't deeply and irrevocably changed by the experience. Lol, no.

Usually with long-term time loop stuff, I tell myself that being in the time loop was essentially like a dream-state that felt real while the characters were in it, but afterwards their memory of it becomes hazy and unreal, and that's why they aren't deeply altered by the experience. But it still kind of bugs me how rarely time loop shenanigans are treated as genuinely traumatic and altering experiences.

I dunno if you're interested fanfic stories, but there's fanfic out there, at least, that goes into the aftermath of being stuck in a time loop. This one, for example: https://archiveofourown.org/works/42126279

i feel like television time loops do this pretty often, actually, it's movies which don't want to deal with that unless it's the point of the movie. reccing a genuinely good episode of supernatural which does this while being pretty funny: Mystery Spot.

eta: ok looking at the comment above, yeah i guess they rarely suggest long-term effects, and that would be cool. not really a problem for supernatural exactly though.

Not a classical time loop but can I recommend you Dark. It shows really well how fucked up people who know their future and can do nothing about it can get.

Lazarus Project deals with this! It's pretty much the whole premise of the show. That, and the performances are so good.

Read the synopsis, it sounds awesome
