Loki was absolutely incomprehensible but between the emotive acting and good production (both the practical effects-looking retro sets and the musical score) it made the show probably the best Disney+ content besides Andor, imo. The finale is surprisingly effective, and affecting. Someone on Twitter likened Loki to a really expensive version of Doctor Who, and based on what little I know of that show, I can see that. The cosmic time-jumping sci-fi plot is all nonsense and ancillary to the characters, who are elevated (more than the show deserves) by the talent. It also reminded me of Terry Pratchett novels, which usually devolve for me into arbitrary magical/fantasy illogic three quarters of the way through deus ex machina style, but the strong characterization, the concepts, and the comedy salvages it.
