REVIEW: Loki – Season 1, Episode 2 “The Variant”
The tragedy of “The Variant” may be that a lot of potential viewers won’t check it out after sitting through the glacially-paced “Glorious Purpose.” That would be a shame because, in its second episode, Loki becomes considerably more interesting, hinting at a much smarter story lurking ben...
