I've enjoyed everything I've seen Majors in previous to this, but I understand why its not landing for people. I didn't mind it, felt like he was going for isolated weirdo scientist, I'd have just dialed it down from 11 to like an 8.
Otherwise, I really enjoyed the quirky faux-old timey tone, the costume and set designs, the music, thought it was all pretty great.
I do agree Loki's got to become a bit more proactive though, I don't think he gets lost as he still gets some great dialogue and emotional moments, but something to establish him back as the God of Mischief he should be would be nice. Ep 2's interrogation scene was pretty great, and I want to see more of that. Stop letting Sylvie turn him into a lovesick puppy saying "can't we all just get along"
