    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.

    Sublime

    Season 2 Episode 1 sets the bar very high, being on par with the best offered in season 1 (the brilliant episode 7). As then, it's a masterful combination of visual artistry and mesmerizing music/sound design that does it. The nightclub scene is so gorgeous you have to watch it at least twice. Going to be a hard act to follow, but a fantastic way to kick off this new season. Very auspicious start.

    The loyalty test episode.

    They're two groups, one who think the characters are paper thin and it's all style over substance and If you felt that way coming into the season 2 opener, those feelings would be reaffirmed.

    BUT

    If you belong to the other group that just loves this show for various reasons mainly that it's like a new genre and people can argue that Twin peeks did this but I would disagree being that I didnt like twin peeks. This episode set the bar even higher and theres a straight forward concept of this episode but it's designed with outstanding film directing, editing, visuals, music, etc.

    People feel its wierd and I totally understand that and feel like this is a series where you arent hand held the whole time. It's very cerebral but it's not a smart persons show it's just a certain way of storytelling that intrigues me like crazy!!!

    I loved the dance scene personally and actually got The OA vibe but it was just exhilarating.

    Syd telling him with one arm from the future that he has to find shadow king find a new body makes it exciting because that means the possibility of more Lenny!!! The way they communicated was just superb and intriguing.

    I am lost most moments too but it makes me pay extra attention and engage in this show more.

    John Hamm narrating it was just perfect and I read a review that provided excellent feedback about the man that cuts his leg off!

    I'll be honest, I am a story teller and crave a great story. I love series that captures a brilliant plot and executes it. So, I put off watching this series until June 1st 2018!!! The last thing I expected was to like this series, especially because twin peeks was mentioned. Season 1 upon bingeing was fantastic compared to my first attempt watching it weekly.

    This is a show I feel you need to binge rather than watch weekly. It's even making me reconsider watching the newest season of twin peeks now and made me believe in it if I actually love this show so much. I get it and it gets me. You just have to have an open mind. If you're confused just read a review or a recap and it will proof read your thoughts.

    This is legion and either you love it for the risks it takes that no show does today, or just play on the phone while a TV show is on. This series requires you to pay attention to it

    heres hoping that it stays at this level of quality!

    A lesson in taking creative risks (the definition of being original)

    It's very challenging for a show like Legion to maintain let alone exceed the creative success of its 1st season.

    From the get-go I was mesmerized by Legion's original visual & sound storytelling technique they crafted in the 1st season so I couldn't wait for the follow up (with careful high hopes) then I watched the 1st episode of season 2 and they did not disappoint at all.

    The season's setup episode surpassed any high expectations I had, by tinkering with the same risky formula they've established in season 1, the show sets the bar even higher and teaches lessons in taking creative risks within a tight fourlma that still delivers a great story. A unique mixer of visuals and sound I can't find anywhere else, looking forward for more episodes and thank you to everyone behind this project.

    Confused......board

    I loved the first season! Am I alone in feeling a little let down? I'm sure I'm not the only one trying to figure out, what TGE HECK IS GOING ON!!!???? If it doesn't get better soon, I'm turning. Ugh

    • 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

      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.
