While fans lapped up the Marvel series, critics were divided about it.

The Hollywood Reporter said: "After two episodes, Loki is at a tipping point. Having set everything up to an exhausting degree, things could be lined up to get really entertaining,”

CNet also liked it, writing: "As a viewer you may have free will, but you may also find you absolutely have to keep watching this layered, inventive, enormously entertaining series."

However IndieWire didn't agree, writing: "The MCU is fatalistic, and Loki’s purpose is to introduce the TVA, the Multiverse of Madness, or whatever glorious purpose Marvel needs. At least, that’s how it feels when you spend all your time playing with straws.”

Meanwhile Mashable's review was a mixed bag, writing: "Where WandaVision deliberately shifted tone from week to week and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier struggled to pin one down, Loki busts out with a confident, chaotic voice.

"The first episode's pacing jumps from light-speed exposition to almost tediously slow, with [Tom] Hiddleston and [Owen] Wilson doing their mightiest to keep us in their grasp."

However fans were loving the first two episodes, in some ways purely for having hunky Tom back on their screens.

Taking to Twitter one wrote: "#Loki spoilers....Loki is extremely hot."
