Critics Consensus

Equal parts innovative and absurd, "Chapter 1" plunges the audience into a boldly creative universe that seems likely to warrant continued viewing.

5/5

Dan Stevens is doing a pretty good job with what he's been given here, but Legion's twitchiness and nervousness get in the way of some of his more emotive and humourous moments.

There's a lot to admire in "Chapter 1," but the most surprising and compelling element is that it's just plain frightening, leaning on horror imagery to sell its stakes and mystery.
