Critics Consensus

Shifting in tone from the visually arresting and uninhibited premiere, "Chapter 2" slows things down a bit by establishing pieces of David's story and the rules of his universe.

4/5

Avoiding clumsy narrative shifts, the second episode keeps the tension up... it's refreshing to see characters being up front about the situation this early into the story, whereas other shows might keep the mystery wheels turning for months.

To a limited degree, the show is capable of wonder and terror alike. Thanks in large part to the quiet and confident performances of Jean Smart and Jeremie Harris as Melanie Bird and Ptonomy Wallace, David Haller's sojourn.

B+

What makes Legion's strategy in "Chapter 2" so brilliant is that this is true for all of us. You don't need telepathic powers to find yourself unsettled by your own past, or wondering how new information changes how you perceive yourself.

I actually kind of like that they stepped back from the more obvious stylization that was present in some of last week's scenes and grounded it a little more.

While "Chapter 2" dials back the overall nuttiness of the pilot, it ramps up the mysteries.

Sure, the storytelling is more or less coherent and linear in comparison to the first episode.
