Loki is less than two days away from its Disney Plus release. The God of Mischief standalone MCU TV show arrives on the streamer on Wednesday, June 9, and fans are eager to see if it’s as good as its synopsis suggests.
Well, MCU fans can sleep easy. According to reviewers who have already seen Loki’s first two episodes in TechRadar, it looks like Trickster’s God solo release could be the best Marvel TV series yet.
The social media embargo for Loki was lifted at 9 a.m. PT / 12 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. BST on Sunday, and on the surface, Marvel and Disney are the winners with their upcoming TV series.
Many critics have praised the series’ storyline, the chemistry between its cast, exploration of the Marvel Cinematic Multiverse (MCM), and, unsurprisingly given that Loki is involved, his humor as well as his twists and turns.
Check out our roundup of the best social media reactions to Loki below, including our entertainment reporter Tom Power’s thoughts on the TV show:
The best Disney plus deals of the day
Fandango and Rotten Tomatoes reviewer Erik Davis says he ‘loved’ the show’s first two entries, praising the ‘bromance’ between Tom Hiddleston’s Loki and Owen’s Agent Mobius Wilson:
I’ve seen the first 2 episodes of #Loki and LOVE it so far. It’s a time-traveling sleuth show that lays the foundation for the MCU multiverse while also being about identity and confronting ugly truths about ourselves.

Brandon Davis of the Phase Zero podcast, meanwhile, describes Loki as “the really exciting big step for the MCU’s vast and sprawling stories”:
#Loki brings so much to the MCU lore. There are references to movies and stories from the past to marvel at, but also some really exciting and subtle additions to the sandbox as a whole. Through 2 episodes … this series could be really exciting, big step for the big and sprawling MCU stories. pic.twitter.com/W1ObduLW5Z June 6, 2021

Collider’s Steve Weintraub praises the show’s ability to take the MCU “in a new direction” while having audiences “watch Loki try to figure out what’s going on rather than control it”:
the first two episodes of #Loki are fantastic. Obviously @twhiddleston is still perfect in the role, but I love how the series expands the MCU in a new direction and we watch Loki try to figure out what’s going on rather than control it. pic.twitter.com/TP45W73bviJune 6, 2021
