    I was genuinely interested in this show at the beginning, but after watching 4 episodes, it became very hard to continue, as it was so boring and repetitive. It seems that confusion is the only real point of this series. Nothing really happened in the first half of the season, so I just gave up on watching. I don't even care what happens in the second half.

    This is based upon the Pilot only, I trust a Pilot to tell me how a show will be and how it will continue, well I was confused throughout the episode, i did not know what was real or in the guys head, not through parts but through the whole thing, it didnt let up, and just when i thorught it was getting to a point, it threw in a dance number and more nonsense, and the last part felt like aThis is based upon the Pilot only, I trust a Pilot to tell me how a show will be and how it will continue, well I was confused throughout the episode, i did not know what was real or in the guys head, not through parts but through the whole thing, it didnt let up, and just when i thorught it was getting to a point, it threw in a dance number and more nonsense, and the last part felt like a you tube video of someone who has learned to add speciel effects, also I couldnt figure out what time they where in, its 70's style everythign yet its furturistic tech, and the treatment of mentally ill people was not, the show left me feeling very confused, is this how its gonna be, not knowing whats real, or are they gonna get to the point, and not over styleise pointless actions with slow mo and retro music, oh how clever, i mean anyone can confuse and stylise things, but move your story along in a way that i can follow and dosnt confuse me the whole time, i felt tricked, the shows actors and sets looked lovely, shame it started with a will to make me feel dumb.… Expand

    As with most Marvel TV shows it's heavy on drama and Low on action. I guess the expression talk is cheap rules Marvel greatly. After watching 6 to7 episodes I don't even really know what the main character powers are in this show. They overdone the metaphysical and drawn-out each show to an hour with things that could have been covered in 15 to 20 minutes.

    The styling reminds me of The Royal Tenenbaums but with an Xmen plot. Not what I was expecting. I am in a holding pattern on this show. I love scifi and I am willing to give the artiness a try but it better come down to Earth by a lot.

    Episodes 1 and 2 were fascinating and gorgeous. I was excited to have found a great new show. Episode 3 really dragged with uninteresting filler content, but I still had hopes for episode 4. Nope. No advancement of plot, no rising action, no coherent narrative. I dropped out here.

    The first result seems to me strangely. It begins in a lunatic asylum and one understands first nothing at all. Strange scenes one does not understand line up themselves.
    Only at the end one notices, nevertheless, more lies behind. If the confusion was not to 2/3 of the episode this would be a good beginning.

    [Legion is] produced like a cerebral art house version of a superhero series, thrumming with precision and emotion where the genre usually calls for shock and awe, and assembled with an entrancing period aesthetic (it seems to be set in the early 1970s, but that could just be a side-effect of David's fragile mental state) and stunning, occasionally horrifying visual effects.

    It’s handsomely shot, and smartly acted, and ingeniously constructed enough to suggest there’s something mind-blowing lurking at its center. But as Hawley pushes from jazzed-up origin story to psychodrama, it starts to feel like a show with a Rubik’s cube where its heart should be.

    A disorienting labyrinth of a show that's as seductive and visually arresting as it is frustrating.
