    I'm done

    My son and I enjoyed the first season albeit it was still a mind bender, we struggled with this episode, it reminded me of the old UK TV show The Prisoner, which my father I would watch. I'm sorry but it's just too much this time round, surreal and makes no sense, I think they're trying to be different and break from the normal Xmen type formula but majority of people are going to struggle as I did. It's far from an easy watch in fact the only easy thing about it is letting it go. What I did like though is the cafeteria with the little boats bringing the food around and that's it.

    Plus it's funny when writing this review " Does your review contain spoilers " ha, I'd need to know what the hell is going on first to spoil it

    Anyone pretending to understand this series is a liar.

    It is *so bizarre*, a train wreck, but you can't look away.

    Yes, I'll keep watching, but if it gets cancelled, I won't miss it.

    Trying too hard or not enough

    Firstly, many episodes in season 1, especially the pilot, were ground breaking TV. Was so excited for season 2. But this first episode was a bit of a let down. Very little story progression, a cartoon about Zhuangzi and his butterfly, already referenced last fall in Netflix's Dark, why are we seeing it here too?, a lame dance off that I felt embarrassed for the actors to have to perform, and then a flashback to David in the orb talking to a future Syd. Not sure who but someone got lazy, and produced a boring start to S2. Guessing it will pick up. But the high fan boy reviews, sry, not buying it. Wasn't horrible, just not on par at any level with S1.

    Good but...

    Man this is a really great show except for the pointless song and dance routines they force on us. What is this Cop Rock all over for a new generation? They are so silly. Really takes away from the rest of the show which is amazing. Im glad Noah didn't do them in Fargo lol.

    A dance-off psychological thriller, literally

    And Legion is back everybody, with more missing pieces of the puzzle and more psychological references that make you don't know if it is real or is the Shadow King playing tricks on you. Keeps you entertained and confused, in thirst for more.

    • Trivia
      At the beginning of the episode, Lenny asks Oliver "It's Tuesday, right?" which is actually a meta joke because episodes of Legion air on Tuesdays
    • Goofs
      6:40 David's blood pressure is "90/120" which is impossible and he would be dead. The first number always has to be higher.
