Loki: Season 2

"The multiverse mayhem we've been waiting for."

"Still whip smart, fun, funny, ambitious, geeky, and compelling as hell."

"More likeable pointlessness."

"With the multiverse teetering all around it, Loki is one strand of the timeline that is sustaining its originality and intention — and actually thriving."

"This new instalment takes us on an even wilder ride through the multiverse."

"There’s so much to like here you almost forget it’s a Marvel show."

"(A) maddeningly loopy, levity-resistant second season."

"A scrappy time-travel caper, a ticking-clock sci-fi thriller and a workplace comedy all rolled together, and a reminder that oddball creativity still goes a long way in the MCU."

"The absence of director Kate Herron seems to have sapped the wily fun."

"A lot of fun, even as it veers into more familiar Marvel fare."

"It’s the best Disney Plus original from Marvel Studios since … Loki."

"Season 2 proves that the series not only hasn't lost its touch but remains one of the stronger pillars of the MCU as a whole."

"(Marvel) has taken Tom Hiddleston’s trickster god and stripped him of his devilish guile."

"As flat as the rest of the season can frequently be, the big problem is Jonathan Majors."

"Loki seems to have more in common with ingenious sci-fi series Severance than recent uninspired Marvel outings."

"Marvel is becoming a failed state and Tom Hiddleston can’t save it."

"It’s remarkable how Hiddleston, now in his second decade playing the God of Mischief ... continues to find unexcavated layers of pathos and complexity in the fan-favorite former villain."

"Still a pretty good time."
