This week saw the launch of the third Marvel TV series on Disney+ for the year following WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Making its debut was the first episode of Loki.
Viewers are taken back a little bit, to the middle of the Avengers time heist that was first seen in the film Avengers: Endgame. Loki (Tom Hiddleston) in that timeline steals the Tesseract and escapes. His freedom doesn’t last though, with the Time Variance Authority apprehending him and taking him away to their headquarters to be sentenced for his timeline-splitting crimes.
The series has landed it sixth on both the Australian and New Zealand Digital Original charts, rating 16.15 points above market average in Australia and 11.63 points across the ditch.
Lucifer is still making an impact in Australia after making a big entry last week, as the highly anticipated second half of season five – known as Season 5B – has officially dropped on Netflix.
The series follows Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis), the Devil himself, who abandons Hell for Los Angeles where he runs his own nightclub named Lux. Eventually, Lucifer becomes a consultant to the Los Angeles Police Department.
The season 5B finale of Lucifer dealt with the aftermath of the murder of a character from the previous episode, as well as an anticipated fight between brothers Lucifer and Michael.
In Australia, Lucifer topped both charts with 24.87 points above market average, and performed very well in New Zealand with 15.35 points above market average.
The fourth series of The Handmaid’s Tale on SBS continues to do well on the charts this week, with the series based on the dystopian novel of the same name shooting to the top of all four charts.
This week in Australia it is 24.2 points above average, and 20.36 points above average in New Zealand – where it topped both charts.
This season has found June Osborne finally free, however her freedom isn’t where the story ends. The fact that she has managed to escape comes with the chance to get justice for everyone victimised by Gilead.
At the top of her list of people to make pay for her suffering is Commander Fred Waterford and his wife Serena Joy.
