REVIEW: Tom Hiddlestone returns for more mercurial Marvel mischief in ‘Loki’

AMSTERDAM: “Loki” has issues. That’s true of both the central character — a not-so-evil-really villain desperate for paternal approval and maternal affection — and the show itself.

The main problem with the first couple of episodes (all that were available for review of the six in the season) of Marvel’s latest TV show is that there’s so much explanation required as to why it exists in the first place that it can seem at times as though the viewer is attending a lecture on theoretical physics.
