Unraveling Loki season 1

On the heels of the mind-bending WandaVision and action-forward The Falcon and the Winter Soldier comes the latest Disney Plus series from Marvel Studios, Loki. The six-part season 1 finds the God of Mischief himself transported from the events of 2012’s The Avengers to a drab office outside of the known MCU timeline, where the Time Variance Authority keeps a tab on humanity’s every action.

Loki has it all: universe-shaking nonsense — did you know a race of ultra-powerful beings who couldn’t care less about infinity stones decide our fate? — a time-jumping sensibility that can twist history as we know it, and enough uncharted space for a new set of Marvel voices to flex their creativity. With Tom Hiddleston returning from the Thor movies, it’s also a treat for fans of the Marvel films.

Each week, we’re diving into Loki to explore all the ins and outs. Hold on to something and follow along — the pure timeline demands it.
