Shows that feel likeLoki (2021–2023)

After stealing the Tesseract during the events of “Avengers: Endgame,” an alternate version of Loki is brought to the mysterious Time Variance Authority, a bureaucratic organization that exists outside of time and space and monitors the timeline. They give Loki a choice: face being erased from existence due to being a “time variant” or help fix the timeline and stop a greater threat.

If you loved Loki, the closest series we have are What If...? (2021), Marvel's Agent Carter (2015) and Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (2013). All three share Loki's cerebral and dreamlike feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Travelers (2016).
