Like its titular character, the new Marvel series Loki is almost absurdly multidimensional, with more than enough quirks and tricks up its sleeve to be crowned TV’s own god of mischief. From the first episode, showrunner Michael Waldron and his creative team goes full-tilt into stretching the MCU’s fantastical multiverse and providing its own reasonable explanations and theories for how time travel could hypothetically work in a coherent fashion.  This is a show that wants to unpack what makes someone a villain and how they can possibly be redeemed. Yes, it’s the arc Loki (Tom Hiddleston) already went through, but now given more verve, detail, one of the most visually interesting worlds we’ve gotten from the MCU and a different wisecracking blonde guy at his side– co-star Owen Wilson as the charismatic Mobius, a TVA bureaucrat who’s interplay with the god of mischief if the real hook of the show. It’s impossible to say where Loki will really end up when this is all over, but nonetheless it’s great to explore the TVA alongside the God of Mischief and his not-so-merry band of coworkers.
