David Haller is a troubled young man who was diagnosed with schizophrenia as a child. Shuffled from one psychiatric institution to the next, in his early 30s, David meets and falls in love with a beautiful and troubled fellow patient named Syd. After a startling encounter with her, he must confront the shocking possibility that the voices he hears and the visions he sees may actually be real. With the help of Syd and a team of specialists who also possess unique and extraordinary gifts -- Ptonomy Wallace, Kerry Loudermilk and Cary Loudermilk -- David unlocks a deeply suppressed truth: he has been haunted his entire life by a malicious parasite of unimaginable power.

Stuart Heritage Guardian I think it's a doozy. It certainly looked very nice, and the performances were all terrific. As for what actually happened in it? That's less clear. Jun 28, 2018 Full Review Emily St. James Vox Legion is probably too enamored of its weirdness to tell as rich and emotionally complicated of a story as it wants to. Jun 18, 2018 Full Review David Fear Rolling Stone There's no other series that feels like it's consistently smashing traditional templates. This is how you bend hour-long narratives into gnostic, ridiculously insular knots. May 10, 2018 Full Review Juan Luis Caviaro Espinof It is great news for fans of superhero and fantasy stories in general that there is entertainment as rare as 'Legion' out there. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Jul 18, 2019 Full Review Alan French AwardsCircuit.com Yet Legion shows true growth for the series, providing audiences with an even more uncanny look at the X-Men. Rated: 3.5/4 Oct 10, 2018 Full Review Akhil Arora Gadgets360 Either way, David going full tilt is an interesting place for the show (however unconvincingly it got there), because it opens up the narrative scope for season 3.

Myles H Season 1 was fresh and entertaining, and season 2 is godawful Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/19/24 Full Review Ryan S The first season was much better. Barely got through the second season. Enjoyed Aubrey’s scenes but season 2 felt like a string of deleted scenes to me. I was surprised to see the high rating so maybe it was over my head. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/09/24 Full Review Byrand M The series is characterized by a sluggish pace, marked by repetitiveness and a strained attempt at artistic depth, often resulting in confusion without purpose. Despite sporadically intriguing visuals, they fail to redeem the overall quality of the show. Character development is lacking, rendering the cast unmemorable and the underlying love story unconvincing. The supposed "omega level" power of the main character, David (Legion), falls short in delivering a genuine sense of awe, contributing to an underwhelming viewing experience. The excessive use of tedious and repetitive scenes, at times recycled from previous episodes, adds little value and becomes a tiresome narrative device. Some episodes veer into the realm of pointlessness, resembling detached Twilight Zone shorts with minimal impact on the overarching story. The promised epic mutant superpower battles are disappointingly brief and anticlimactic. Even in the final battle between David and Farouk, the utilization of powers is overshadowed by unconventional and lackluster elements, diminishing the impact of the confrontation. In contrast to other superhero series, such as DC's Titans, Legion fails to develop compelling characters and a gripping storyline. Titans, with its more complex and relatable characters, outshines Legion in delivering a satisfying viewing experience. Legion's persistent exploration of the blurred line between reality and illusion becomes a tiresome theme, detracting from the overall narrative coherence. Ultimately, Legion falls short in its attempts at both mind-bending fantasy and engaging fight scenes, leaving viewers with a sense of unfulfilled potential and frustration. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/10/23 Full Review Kelly K It's a trip! If you don't want a trip, don't watch it. 'Cause, it's a trip! 5 stars! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/31/23 Full Review Anthony T The pace and style might no be for everyone but I loved it. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/11/23 Full Review Egor P The show is practically unwatchable. I have got fed up with the tricks and bulshit. It pretends to be smart, elegant, novice and funny, but in reality, it is just a flashy empty .. there is nothing behind pretendance. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
