I've always been a fan of scifi and fantasy and Loki does a great job melding both. To be honest I've been disappointed with many Marvel releases as of late, either the plot is flat, characters are unlikable, humor is misplaced, etc. I was pleasantly surprised with Loki, not only is the concept super interesting, but delivery was solid from plot to characters to wit - both an entertaining and thought provoking watch. My biggest compliment is how well they nailed the ending, usually with shows that start strong it's difficult also to nail the ending in a concise but impactful and conclusive way. Not going to lie, sometimes I'm hesitant to watch a show because I don't want to get attached only for the ending to ruin the experience, but I'm glad to say Loki was solid from beginning to end.
Tom Hiddleston encompasses Loki so effortlessly and breathes life into the character with every nuanced expression. Owen and Ke Huy also steal the show, the on screen chemistry with everyone is so effortless and you can't help but find yourself routing for everyone.
