Legion

Post by I'm Murrin »

This is my favourite show right now, and one of the best things done with the X-Men properties in years. A surreal headfuck of a show that does things I've never seen on TV before, and it's a load of fun. (Also, Aubrey Plaza is clearly enjoying herself a lot in this one.)

Anyone else watching it?

I just finished the first season on Hulu. It's fun so far.

I've started watching it at the suggestion of a friend who told me nothing about it, and I didn't seek out anything about it. I'm glad I went in totally blind, because that was quite a first episode. And that they revealed the X-Men X at the end instead of the beginning, I then finally realized the focus of show, and ended the debate in my head of "Is this show about a person going mad, possessed by a demon, or a mutant story?" First episode totally blew me away, and I have yet to finish season 1 as I'm trying to catch up with Preacher right now. Anyway, yeah, loving it, and can't wait to finish it.

Yes. That's only hinted/implied so far, though it has been confirmed by the creators.

I have to say that I have been absolutely in love with this show this season. The first season had a lot of style, but mostly told something of a story. This season has gone off the rails several times and usually succeeds when it does so. As weird as it is (and I'm a fan of this kind of weird - not so much Twin Peaks kind of weird), it is really starting to shape up to being one of my favorite shows. But it's gotta stick the landing, so we'll see. I hope they have a third season.

I've been catching up on it over the weekend, and I'm enjoying it a lot. There's nothing else quite like it on TV. I'm just not sure where they're going with it.

surreal headfuck is an understatement!!!! that first season blew me away.
the first episode i had had a hit or two of weed and...well...lets just say i was seriously mindfucked!!!!! hahahaha!!! (i refuse to watch that show under the influence of ANYthing now!! ;) )

I watched the first ep of season 2 but decided to wait until the entire season is over and then binge it. heh. cause that's how I roll with tv shows these days.

i am currently enthralled with westworld season 2 and am not waiting to binge that! :D

There have been times when I've stepped away while watching an episode, and start realizing that because of the dialogue on the show I am.....thinking wrong. I feel like I'm going a little nuts and my means of communication in my own thoughts are affected. That's pretty powerful.

I love the show, and the end of Season 2 was more than I expected.
And it has been picked up for a third season!

Watched one and a half episodes so far. :D God enough to keep me watching, so that's good, since usually I'm not into X-men movie stuff. Still haven't really got any details yet (other than what I know from the comics) but seems clear his mother is going to be somebody different...

I've been seeing that season 3 is underway but I have been hesitating to jump back in. It may come as a surprise to all of you, but I am an overthinker. And overthinking this show sort of kills it. The end of season 2 was almost painful to my overthinking parts.
