This year is not exciting for Superheroes- fans. Maybe you are one of them! Theatres are shut down (or partially open), but releases of superheroes series are dramatically low. Still, you have a chance to watch the kick-ass superheroes series on various OTT platforms— mainly Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime Video. Here are top 5 best superhero web series— to thrill you, make your lockdown period even more enjoyable.
1. Loki
Created by Michael Waldron, Loki is a popular OTT series available on Disney+. According to film buffs, Loki is an exact interpretation of the actual comic that is full of twists and turns. Loki’s storyline begins from Avengers: Endgame (2019). Loki follows the subsequent events of stealing the Tesseract of Avengers: Endgame (2019). It showcases that Time Variant Authority (TVA), which exists outside of time and space monitoring the timeline, entrusted Loki to erase the event from existence. Thus, it can fix the timeline and prevent calamity.
The series can bring you up the loop of time travel that is mixed up with thrill and adventure. Without any spoiler alert, Loki could be your locked-up OTT series. If you are a die-hard fan of Tom Hiddleston, who is known for his tender mischief, be prepared for his spontaneous performance in this series again.

Instead of shitty storylines, Legion’s plot binds you until the last season. Vitally, the story finds its true dimension with the performance of Dan Stevens.
The story follows David Haller, diagnosed with schizophrenia as a child, but has super psychic power. Later, he is trained by mutant crowds to hone and control his ability and finally it changes his life forever. The storyline seems simple, but you will realize its twists and whirls only if you watch it to the end. You will fall in love with its distinct narrative structure and appealing visual style.
