Critic Reviews for Legion Season 1

All Critics (87) | Top Critics (33)

Even if you barely understand a thing that's going on (and be patient; chances are you will), "Legion" is a joy to watch, surreal and beautiful, with as many funny asides as frightening moments.

Its embrace of interiority and the cerebral along with its considerable visual achievements takes us on a wild ride like nothing else on TV.

What Legion has that so many superhero TV shows lack (sorry, Gotham fans) is a commitment to performance and character that transcends genre.

Wow. With its opening montage of a troubled child growing into a disturbed man, the FX series Legion states its intention of blowing your mind with its visual mastery and challenging your ability to keep up with the tricky narrative.

The fantasy that fuels so many stories, from The Ugly Duckling to Harry Potter, is that misfits are literally mis-fit and that their strengths can be appreciated only when they're with their own. Legion feeds that fantasy and challenges it.

Marvel's moviemakers should be jealous: Just when they thought they were making something TV couldn't top, Legion comes along and sets the bar even higher.

Legion is a beautiful show to watch.

Neatness, with its suggestions of resolution and eventual freedom from an illnesses without a cure, might be the most difficult-to-accept aspect of Legion's first season...

If there are two kinds of stories, those about fear and those about empathy, is definitely one of the firsts, but is full of glimmers of the other. [Full review in Spanish]

Overall, a deep cast, incredible cinematography, and killer storytelling are going to continue to make this one of the best shows on TV.

Audience Reviews for Legion: Season 1

One of the better Tv shows out there. The film might not be a direct source adaption but it is bold and intelligent.
