REVIEW: Loki – Season 1, Episode 3 “Lamentis”

AlexGherzo | Jun 23, 2021 | 0

With “Lamentis,” Loki takes on another of the characteristics of its eponymous trickster and shapeshifts, becoming a buddy cop action-comedy without breaking stride. The story and mythology behind the Time Variance Authority take a backseat (though an important piece of the puzzle does lock into...

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...
