Suffering from a tire spinning in the mud middle act, Loki is another MCU D+ series that has a middle that feels like its only buying time and stalling, so to reach the 6 episode mandate, with the pace of the show slowing down noticeably across roughly three to four episodes, especially during episodes 3 and 4.

The action sequences, choreography, and direction fell flat, to an extent where they felt almost irrelevant. They are ultimately very forgettable really. Also, something didn't feel quite as complete as it should regarding the production design and/or set. It somehow felt lacking, but it wasn't to a great or distracting degree. The performances weren't all that amazing sadly, though not bad at all, but, Tara Strong as Miss Minutes was a rather incredible standout; her voice acting was stunning.

The first and last episodes I feel are where the series really picked up, and though I was expecting for the ending to feel rushed due to what felt like a wasted few episodes prior, it didn't, and it actually sparked a level of interest from me that has become increasingly difficult for me to afford to the MCU as of late, and I appreciated the series for that capability.

Loki is not perfect at all, not the best series in the MCU slate, and not out of this world either, but even with its drowsy middle, highly second-rate action, somewhat deficient production set/design, and performances that couldn't keep up with a show stealing animated clock, its story when focused on was interesting and material enough to satisfy.

6.4/10.
