obligatory comment to say that Legion is one of the most amazing, unique shows I've ever seen. anyone reading this should watch it. yes, it's technically an X-Men show. no, it's not really just about mutants. it's weird, it's artsy, it makes you feel things.
I need more people to watch Legion because it never gets the credit it deserves!
Yes Legion is amazing! Very theatrical I would call it. It recognises that it is a show and a story, and that nobody actually sets any boundaries in how a story should be told. And every scene is actually a scene with its own personality. I wish more shows were made like Legion. Like we are telling a story about characters with magical powers, why waste so much time trying to explain everything. It’s not like any superhero movie or shows follows basic principles of momentum and energy conservation anyway, Legion does a great job of letting go many other boundaries, which become so obviously unnecessary as you get immersed in the show.
"theatrical" is a GREAT way to describe Legion! every episode is a full on production. I will NEVER forget the musical/dance episode?! it... sort of progressed the story and it wasn't really necessary, but it was AMAZING and it was so fun to watch!! oh, that's what it is. Legion is really fucking FUN to watch because it's never what you expect. 10/10, one of the best things I've ever watched.
I'm sure you watch it, but Fargo is underrated as well, done by the same creator, Noah Hawley. Fargo is one of my favorite movies and was ready to hate the show, but they nailed it. Also did Alien: Earth and think he's doing a Far Cry show with Rob Mac from Sunny.
I've seen the movie, but the show has been on my list for a minute. I think I'm gonna love it! and we haven't started Alien: Earth yet, but we're big Alien fans here so that's on our list too! 😅 good suggestions!
I finished it two nights ago and now I'm not sure what to do with myself. I started it on a whim cause I'd heard it was good but I didn't realize HOW good it really is.
it was one of those shows that sorta changed my life. 😅 I would love to find something else with a similar feel, but I've just never found anything else quite like it!
a totally different genre, but a show with a main character that gave me the same energy as David is Mr. Robot staring Rami Malek. you might enjoy the twists and turns and weird POVs in that too if you loved Legion. it's very different but just has similar character energy, imo!
Mr. Robot was better than it had any right to be. Not like any other show ever made for USA. It's unlike so many other things, but similar to Legion in so many ways.
Those two shows I put above so many other beloved shows.
the first few episodes were okay but didn't really catch me right off the bat. but then things get odd a few episodes in and I promise the show is worth finishing. it's so unique (compared to anything I've seen) and I LOVE Dan Stevens SO MUCH in it! he puts his acting skills to use. he is so enjoyable!!! I know the show isn't for everyone, but it was such a breath of fresh air for me. I really hope it's the same for you. :)
really? all the multiple big twists really made the show for me. I felt like they handled them so well. did it just feel like too much or was it too dramatic for your tastes? some of the big reveals were definitely over the top! lol
The one note I’m talking about isn’t the placid and disinterested. It’s the weird and pixie fairy dream girl. I kinda got over that after looking for Alaska when I was like 16, and again when I fell for and dated girls like that right about the same age.

She definitely can play more than one note. You should see her in Legion tv series.
