REVIEW: Loki – Season 2, Episode 3, “1893”

If for no other reason, “1893” is probably the best episode of Loki’s second season (so far) because it actually moves the plot forward. The plot isn’t great, and the show is still a chore to sit through, but halfway through this run, there is finally momentum. There are some good ideas, t...

REVIEW: Loki – Season 1, Episode 3 “Lamentis”

With “Lamentis,” Loki takes on another of the characteristics of its eponymous trickster and shapeshifts, becoming a buddy cop action-comedy without breaking stride.
