WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
kevl-453 As every other review on this. Season 1 one, awesome, weird, pretty, funny, scary, excellent. Season 2, hard work. You can watch the last fifteen minutes and get an idea what's going on, it's so slow, im all for arty shots but someone wanted to use every fancy effect and angle they could, gets good toward the end but I'm afraid by then I was wishing it to end. I'll give season 3 a go when it comes around but if its anything like 2, it'll be short lived.
marmetrics This show gives me chills at the start of each episode. It feels like a projection of our most abstract thought processes...
kTam In the spirit of True Detective, the creators of Legion have managed to turn a brilliant first season into a pile of garbage.At first I thought maybe Rian Johnson might be directing, as the change from one season to the next was so jarring.The first season of Legion was original and creative, a real psychological thriller with moments of horror. The story was great, acting wonderful, and the direction was beautiful. I'd give the first season an 8/10.But the second season turned bad right from episode 1. It was honestly like watching a film school student trying to be weird at the expense of a good story. It became very 'marvel-esque' with superheroes and super villains, and it was no longer a clever psychological thriller. The story jumps around in silly ways, and the direction is just plain annoying. Acting is still good though, which is why I give season two 2/10 and not zero.So much potential wasted!
Brave-Traveler.asf (Brave_TraveIor) When this show premiered I had high expectations because it was just off the heels of season 2 of a masterful Fargo. Noah Hawley had become huge to me. Is exceeded the expectations of a flawless first season of the FX series imo with Fargo. So, a show with these coming attractions that is his own Legion taken, I was thrilled. But...I read mass reviews of users that didnt like it. There were positive reviews, it's just that the negative is always louder than the positive on the internet. One thing remained though, it scored high with critics. So, after a few I decided to hold off and then all the streaming content and life-----2 seasons later I had not seen a single episode. The objective POV.I dont like series that are bizarre for bizarre sake. Visceral series are superb when you're talking about Hannibal imo, because it has STORY! One thing I care about as a reader, writer, and viewer is a story! I need a great plot. I'm a story teller and i love stories. I refuse to watch something that lacks plot and goes for stylistic approach. But...As season 2 was heading towards it ending, I couldnt help but be alarmed at the negative and hate it recieved. So many viewers had reneged on this series that had loved the first season. This made me more intrigued to watch it. Something was wrong because still a critically acclaimed series that was getting low viewership like the Americans, and hateboles were the new trend.June 2018 I started it. Holy shit! After episode 4 I was hooked but after episode 5 I said, "That just gave me a mind orgasm!" The fifth episode was that good, with the first next to it. Then the sixth, well, if parcs and recs fans saw it---it was cause trauma or PTSD because of the incredible Aubrey Plaza. So you get the point...the first season was absolutely awesome. It was a movie over the course of episodes. There absolutely was a straightforward story behind the smoke and mirrors but I was among unpopular opinion where I didnt believe all the style was for style sake. No! Infact I'll tell you why this show had to be this way. After the finale of the second series ONLY did I then read about legion and the original source material. First of all, my favorite show is Mr. Robot, so DID (dissociative identity disorder is something I love), but with legion it's all about what's real and mental illness. All of his personalities and his backstory is incredibly difficult to tell. Noah Hawley, bless him, the very man who penned the episodes of bones and Fargo, took the guts and creative mind to take a challenging character from the x men universe who is incredibly important to them and to professor X, and decided to create a series based on that character. Notice how no one has created a Legiom series in the age of superhero boom?? Bc it's incredibly difficult because it requires a celebral audience to make the story it truly deserves. He took it and did it in aces!!!Bravo Naoh Hawley for this interpretation of Legion. The fighting scene between shadow king and David with the song as they sang, is my favorite scene in this series!!! This show is just incredible and is in the deep end of the pool. No shallow story telling. THERE IS STORY TELLING but its celebral and one where you gotta prepare to think.The many worlds theory episdoe that felt like it was directed by Paul Thomas Anderson was brilliant! Season 2 was a them all of the show is a whole! John hamms narration dropped mega bombs of informations for us to distort. Everything he said was of important value...how can no one love that??? I thanked the gods the last time for Dark and now this which also is a type of series I personally need to watch. This genre. I'm sick and tired in this age of TV, of watching shows that insult my intelligence and spoonfeed me the plot. This show doesnt hold your hand. It challenges me and is like munchies for my brain!! This type of show inspires me to write better!Season 2 was just like community season 2! Its was creative experimental risks being done in most episdoes. Season two imo DOES NOT drop in quality!!! I binged it and it was the same consistent material produced! As it continued I loved it more. There were two episodes I thought were average in season 2 that's it. The beginning incredible and the end incredible! Favorite quote of season 2: "How long have weve been here?" "I dont know, I guess we've been here...what are they called..what do you call them---" "Soap?" "No." PAUSE. "Not soap." He was trying to think of years and she meant time. I swear if you truly loved the first 5 episodes, stick with the first season. If you really loved the first, then you'll love the first to see the finale featuring the best battle scene since battle of the bastards imo.
