I see a lot of high numbers and wonder if we're watching the same thing. I've seen all of Season 1 and the two episodes of Season 2, and it's utter gibberish to me. Now I'll confess to having no knowledge of the background in the printed comics - if there is one - but all the chatter about timelines and the like, is just that - chatter.

The only saving grace is Tom Hiddleston as Loki. It's a very campy performance but that's who this character has always been. He's capable of serious roles of course - take "The Night Manager" for example - but here he gets to ham it up. As for the rest? Meh. Much ado about very little.
