Legion

season 1: great! 97/100 season 2: uhh... 85/100 season 2 is very drawn out.. a few lines of script drawn into a 8 minute scene in slow mo. no where near as compelling as season 1. not sure what happened. i realize after 20 episodes, i don't really care about any of these characters. season 3.. tried ep1 then quit. i could tell it'd be a waste of my time.

Starts with a strong pilot but descends into a kind of low-budget Inception all about memories and traumas. Memories/dreams/whatever get nested so deep that it's hard to care about anything that's happening.

The cinematography was insanely good, but the plot alternated between confusing me and boring me, until the point I realized I didn't care about this series at all and should simply stop watching. A case of trying too halrd to be artsy.

I think that I had unrealistic expectations, but one of my favourite Marvel creations (Legion) together with the genius behind the Fargo series, revved me up for a bonanza. The 4th and the 5th episodes are out of this World, and the whole Lenny creation is brilliant. But there are other parts that just stutters. You here "David, Davidd" so many times it starts to grate you. Nevertheless, it is a very enjoyable experimental work with some mind-blowing parts.

Ever see "Shutter Island"? Ever wish it were 8 hours long? This is like a superhero art film. It's like "Inception" + "Eternal Sunshine" + "Shutter Island" + "X-Men". After the 4th episode I was very excited about the show. Then after the 6th episode I was pretty much done with it. Hours and hours and hours of slow-motion dream sequences. Who thought that was a good idea? I spent the last 2 episodes on the Internet with it playing in the background just to get the first season over with.

[Full series] Stylistically this show is an easy 10 out of 10. There is an overabundance of visual inventiveness and directorial flair. It portrays the powers of several characters in ways that are way more fun and engaging than that in the bigger, more expensive movies. The main antagonist is exquisitely delightful and my favorite. The show falters when it tries to be substantive; characters feel thinly drawn and it is never as emotionally engaging as it wants. Has a satisfactory ending.

(S1 and S2) Hawley's idiosyncratic pulse keeps the series sprightly and intriguing. Each episode is a barrage of gimmicks, experiments, and schemes that promise they're philosophical. It's sometimes easy to forget the show isn't as deep as it alleges. For every three or four stylish surprises, there's a glaring error. Like a Southland Tales shaped-blemish on an Enter the Void face. The best Marvel show. Still, it could be much, much worse and still secure that spot.

Starts great, dwindles around the middle and ends pretty good. Could have been cut in half and season two could have been a couple of episodes tops. Season three gets it back on track and the ending is satisfactory enough.

Another phenomenal show from Noah Hawley.

Did not like evil Art Garfunkel
