I adored Season 1 and I think I might like Season 2 just a smidge better. Most of the MCU since Endgame has been pretty bad, but Loki was the exception. Season 1 had a great story, fun characters and kept my interest. Season 2 felt like a different show to me. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it feels different in tone and direction from Season 1.
After Sophie killed Kang last season, the multiverse went into overload. That leads to Loki attempting to stop the destruction of all of the universes by getting assembling a team of his own to get everything back to normal. That is a very simplistic explanation for Season 2, but its all about the execution of the story. The time travel elements of the plot have been done before, but the acting, directing and writing are so good, its one of the most enjoyable time travel shows I have watched in a long time. Tom Hiddleston is an amazing actor and the MCU needs to figure out how to get him back into the movies, even though I think he is done with the MCU. The supporting cast is top notch and there is nary a weak link here. Even Jonathan Majors, whose reputation has taken a hit of late, does well playing a Miles Dyson-esque version of Kang (if you get the T-2 reference). New cast member Ke Huy Quan is a fun addition and the beefing up of other characters' roles were done well. Again, no weak links here.
As I said, the one thing about this show is it doesn't really feel like an MCU show. That's not a negative. Loki Season 2 is a really well made show with enough tension, comedy and action, to keep it going. There is no filler episodes to pad it out. I just wish the creators of the other shows and movies would pay attention. This is how you make movies/tv shows.
