This used to be on the same thread as The Gifted, but now's as good a time as any to inaugurate a solo thread for the show:

Legion Season 2 premieres April 3.

Great. Loved the first season. Mind-screw-y enough to be engaging but not so frustratingly so that it felt "unfair."

Also weirdly enjoyed the Archer-esque devotion to Ambiguous Time Period.

... also, Audrey Plaza being maybe a dude, maybe a dog, almost definitely a fat demon psychic monster does confusing things to me. In my pants.

I couldn’t say enough good things about Season 1 (but haven’t seen Gifted, go figure), and I’m looking forward to more weirdness.

Gifted is kind of slow in spots, but when it's good, it's very good. Nowhere near as good as Legion, but for my money, very little is.

New promo:

I am so glad we're getting full on Amal Farouk. I like Aubrey Plaza, but besides the fact Shadow King is far cooler in his Farouk form, seeing a Iranian actor playing a smooth supervillain is revigorating.

The show kind of made sense by the end of Season 1.

Clearly the writers were upset about that because Season 2 doubles the insanity leading to An astral dance off between David and the Shadow King.

But the insanity makes it so much more compelling because there’s nothing really like it on TV.

I'd worried that season 2 wouldn't be as weird as the first one. Oh how naive I was!

The premiere was a bit exposition heavy, but I'm looking forward to seeing where it all goes.

Well, that was fucked up. As if there weren't any good reasons to hate Amahl Farouk. Or was this done to dispel any simathy we had for him after last episodes?

I liked that Oliver is fighting back.

I loved these last two episodes. I'll admit that the greater story arc hasn't always been a hit for me this season. The last two episodes though have been super focused, very specific to the show, and a blast to watch.

Season 2 ended. It felt wrong somehow in the last episodes when David started to go crazy. And that cliffhanger is worse than s1, imo.

Legion has been renewed for season 3.

Trailer is out

I'm sure gonna miss this series.

Also, I am still rooting for David. What his supposed friends did to him in Season 2 was BS.

[up]I agree. But it was also weird(er) how it unfolded near the end. I'm expecting shenanigans and reveals.

Saw the Season 3 premiere. Quite trippy and cool, as usual.

Still, seeing Fahrouk alongside David's former friends like it's no freaking business and them all mercilessly plotting to kill him....makes my stomach turn.

[up]Shenanigans, I tell you! A bait-and-switch or something. I half expect the later part of the season 2 to be a setup for something.

I'm surprised they got not only the band Superorganism but also got them to sing their song "Something for your Mind" which fits perfectly for the show.

Watching this show blind is super confusing. I liked that scene where Farouk was playing Charlie Brown music though, that was nice.

Harsh episode. So David is basically himself responsible for what happened to him?

So this week's episode was very cool. I love all the stuff having to do with the time demons, and Lenny losing her girlfriend in a minute through aging was really rough to sit through.

This was a perfect Legion episode with plenty of character developments and explorations. And it gave gifted the world the best gif on the internet.

Amahl Farouk keeps stealing every scene he is in. It is strange how he overtook that from Lenny when he showed up in person in S2. I wonder if writing has anything to do with it.

So... everyone's freaking dead now. I should have expected that, but at the same time, geez. And this isn't even the second-to-last episode, holy shit.

The notion that everything will be erased made David unravel even more.

I got the impression Sid stayed in David's head. Probably the only place he can be affected now.

A good episode.
