I'm an absolute sucker for time travel. Even cheesy Doctor Who I'll just gobble up. So the fact that I disliked something with so much time travel in it really means something.

Every episode felt like 75% filler dialogue, and then the rest was filled with bland fighting. The story they tell is not complex or intricate enough to warrant six 30-40 minute episodes. Every scene feels like characters are taking as long as they possibly can to say their lines to pad the runtime.

Normally, the least a goofy time travel story has is some interesting bit of time travel plotting for me to chew on, but the TVA is so convoluted that I don't even have that. So Loki stealing the Tesseract caused a new branch, but nothing the Avengers did caused a new branch? I thought that was the whole point of returning the stones? If the TVA can view all of time at once, why do new branches pop up unpredictably? Shouldn't they see all the branches at once? Why do new branches happen at all? Loki's was caused by time travel, but I guess other people's is just caused by doing something they weren't supposed to do?

Tom Hiddleston did pretty good with what he was given. The scene where he watches what his life could have been was actually pretty okay. But past that episode I mostly just felt bored with this series. I think people are overrating it because they like the character of Loki and Tom's charisma.
