So there I was, all set not to watch another superhero show, happily ignoring this one some three or four episodes in, when all of a sudden a friend referred to it as "like something from David Lynch." Fuck. Never mind that I don't love everything David Lynch does - still working through that second season of Twin Peaks at a snail's pace, folks - just the idea of a trippy, cerebral superhero show was enough for me to bite the bullet and jump on in.
And after eight episodes, yeah, Legion was fine. Just fine! Weird and chaotic and confusing, but rarely slow and boring, which is the biggest sin these superhero shows tend to commit. Aubrey Plaza was great. Jermaine Clement was good. Everyone else was just fine. The show explored some cool ideas and followed them to some very generic conclusions. Again - fine!
Watch this if you crave that sweet sweet fine television.
