TV Season Rating
The most recent (at the time of writing) of Marvels post-Endgame TV series (after both WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier) and, once again, this is a very different beast than any of those two previous.

In this one, Tom Hiddleston portrays Loki, as he was just after stealing the Tesseract during the time travel heist of Avengers: Endgame ie before this version of him had lived through those events that occurred after Avengers Assemble (eg Thor: Dark World, Ragnorak, Infinity War etc etc) and is almost immediately arrested by the Time Variance Authority (the TVA), an organisation whose sole purpose is to police the 'sacred timeline'.

Over the course of the series, things prove not always to be as they seem, with this series also (or so I've heard) leading directly into Marvels phase 4 of the MCU.

I'd say it's because it's slow. There's a lot of exposition and it can be draggy. That would be why I'd rate it lower. Worth watching, just be aware.

I disliked the show completely, the only reason I rated it as high as a 5 is because when I averaged the ratings for each episode, the 2 good episodes outweighed the other trash episodes.
It was boring, it turned Loki into a vanilla-boring character, and the writing was terrible. The only reason I continued after the 3rd episode is because of Hiddleston, as I'm a huge fan, and he said that eps 4 and 5 were where it got more interesting. Episode 4 was an abomination. The plot was nonsensical and Hiddleston's acting was cringey. Seriously, the Ragnarok flashdance hair flip occurring multiple times was odd and annoying. I'm in the minority, I apparently watched a completely different show. It caused me to have zero interest in the MCU beyond Shang Chi.

Celebrity gossip fans, reality TV fans, and of course mystery fans are going to love Maizie Albright. She is determined, quirky, and lots of fun. A former child actor who played a detective on TV, Maisie returns home to Black Pine, Georgia seeking an apprenticeship with a real private investigator. Will Maisie be able to convince her unwilling mentor that she’s more than a hollywood has-been? Full of humor and romance, this is a great start to a new series.

An ok English crime action film based on the old TV series. It looked very good from the trailer, but unfortunately that is quite misleading in the terms of the film as a whole. There are some good chase scenes and action set pieces, although not quite up to Heat (Which one scene is very similar to) but it does have the iconic London landmarks in there. Overall not bad but a bit more action would have been great.

This tie in to the TV series BURN NOTICE finds former spy Michael Weston trying to track down a husband who stole his wife's fortune while figuring out a way to keep a former Russian spy from killing him. The book captures the characters and tone of the show perfectly, but the plot was a bit weak.
