Loki (prod. Michael Waldron).

Loki plays with our awareness of cinema as it wryly deconstructs Marvel’s filmography in front of our eyes. How it toys with the galactic stakes of previous films to remix the trickster character outside of his usual Thor or Avengers settings feels very refreshing narratively particularly after two-dozen feature films. It’s also a supremely confident show despite having the difficult task of reinventing a very familiar villain around some very complex concepts.
