David Haller is a troubled young man who was diagnosed with schizophrenia as a child. Shuffled from one psychiatric institution to the next, in his early 30s, David meets and falls in love with a beautiful and troubled fellow patient named Syd. After a startling encounter with her, he must confront the shocking possibility that the voices he hears and the visions he sees may actually be real. With the help of Syd and a team of specialists who also possess unique and extraordinary gifts -- Ptonomy Wallace, Kerry Loudermilk and Cary Loudermilk -- David unlocks a deeply suppressed truth: he has been haunted his entire life by a malicious parasite of unimaginable power.

Critics Consensus

Bold, intelligent, and visually arresting, Legion is a masterfully surreal and brilliantly daring departure from traditional superhero conceits.

It's weird and often unsettling and nightmarish, but it's also pretty mesmerizing.

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.

Legion's visual density on a shot-by-shot basis and the scope of its world-building is already impressive enough, especially in just over three minutes, but it's a sign of the show's creative aspirations that Hawley isn't content to stop there.

The best thing about Legion - this is unlike anything you've seen on TV and in the case of Hawley's artistic direction, Legion rewrites the rules on how a TV show can be explored.

Criminally underrated; a fascinating show that knows exactly how to keep you tempted. Granted the shows deliberate mind fames MIGHT not be enjoyable for everyone, but personally the writers do a great job giving you just enough answers to keep you guessing without getting annoying. Dan Stevens proves he’s a brilliant character actor wrapped in a leading man. Get ready…its one of the most unique rides you’ll go on.

Way better than it deserves to be! Best thing Marvel thing I've seen in a very long time, if not ever. Don't let the cheesy graphics from the end of the first episode derail you, because it's so good and absolutely worth the watch!

Hawley isn’t a good choice for much…. Pretentious. Inflated ego. It worked for Fargo season 1&2 but that’s where it ends. His career should be over by now.

I endure the who season but it was so dragged on. It does not get to the point and stretches it's run time with weird moments. As a Marvel show, it's not what I expected. If you look at it from an artistic view, sure. But as a story, it really bad story telling.

This season of Legion is great in artistry. Sometimes, it is intentionally confusing us to an extend where you don't know which is really happening. And at some point you can't figure out why, where and how this begins to happen. But overall its just a fresh experience, and a blast to watch with great performances.

I love legion despite not being interested in the whole marvel thing, the way they portrait everything is next to nothing, the music, the abstract imaging and the range of actors used is absolutely stunning. We need more of this, this is not tv this is art!!!
