NFT: FX Show Legion

and I love Legion. Strongly influenced by the movie A Clockwork Orange.
Its meant to be trippy, but I think its slightly dark, while keeping an overall fun atmosphere.
If you're on Season 1, stick with it, the story-line really ties together at the end.

Again, its a bit weird, but that's the character.

As for origin story, Legion's actual character details would be very tough to put into a tv show budget, and he's kinda' unlikeable. The the TV show is a bit of a reinvention that tones down the stuff that is hard to even describe about him.

I think Lenny (Aubry Busker) really steals the show.
Enjoy!

If you think its trippy now, give it a few more episodes. I dont want to be too effusive here, but i think its fairly groundbreaking entertainment. One of very few ahows that truly challenges viewers. Repeated viewings are rewarding. I still gotta watch the last 3 episodes of S2 because ive been really busy, but i cant wait to dive into them. And no, nkt being familiar with the sormurce material isnt a barrier. I knew who Legion was but ive never read those comics, hasnt stopped me from enjoying it.

If you think the first season was wild- WOW!

the entire 2 seasons and gotta say it's just too out there for me to continue....the last few episodes were borderline painful and I'm still not sure I could describe what the show is about to anyone who hasn't seen it. It can have beautiful visuals at times and scenes that are cohesive but there really isn't any clear narrative and it's one of those shows that seems to relish being "out there" and freaky just for the sake of it IMO....sort of form over substance.

Prof X is David's dad.


I'm on season two. It's so good. But really, it is a challenging show to watch. This show is not spoon-feeding you anything

Tbh I just started this show last week after seeing the Bolero sequence on YouTube. I had no idea it was basedbon XMen until a couple of episodes in. I did just finish chapter 7 and was startong to guess his father (especially after the Patrick Stewart impression in the calkboard scene.) I haven't seen an actual reveal on the show yet.

I guess it's hard to separate what I know from what people who are encountering the character for the first time in the show know. I guess it's definitely a spoiler so I apologize.

They make at least several references to "the professor" as his father in season one and two.

BTW- in order to understand the show title, you have to watch (and re-watch, listening VERY carefully to the dialogue of the Shadow King) in the last two episodes of season 2.
