The X-Men characters have been very popular in comics and movies for decades. Now, FX is trying a TV series based on the Legion character. Will the Legion TV show be a big success in the ratings? Will it be cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
A science-fiction drama, the Legion TV show is based on the Marvel comics by Chris Claremont and Bill Sienkiewicz. It’s the story of David Haller (Dan Stevens), a troubled young man who may be more than human. David was diagnosed as schizophrenic and has been in and out of psychiatric hospitals for years. While institutionalized, he makes a quick bond with Syd (Rachel Keller). David must confront the shocking possibility that the voices he hears and the visions he sees are the result of him being a mutant. The rest of the FX series cast includes Aubrey Plaza, Bill Irwin, Jeremie Harris, Amber Midthunder, Katie Aselton, and Jean Smart.

What do you think? Do you like the Legion TV series on FX? Do you think that it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
I think this show should be cancelled. It’s so boring and the sound effect choices are terrible. They put a lot of effort into the visuals but it’s just annoying. Legion should’ve been a quick movie rather than a show.
Trash
Aubrey’s hot tho.
Without a doubt the best show on T.V right now, absolutely should be renewed.
The ratings system is BS. It relies on a bunch of old folks who are set in their stubborn ways perpetually watching the same type of cop and ER dramas. Nothing new will last on network tv. It has to become a cult classic for anyone to take an interest.
I think Legion is superb, in a class by itself. Kudos especially to Dan Stevens, and Rachel Keller is also very good. Please renew this program, it’s great.
So damn good. Original, yet entertaining. Please renew.
Dan Stevens is great but I don’t see this series succeeding. It really needs to get to the nitty gritty of the story instead of trying to be so artistic.
Legion is the type of show that does not come around often. The acting is superb, the music is entrancing, the visuals are stellar, and the story is compelling. I wish the majority of television viewers could appreciate a show like this, but sadly it will not get ratings similar to fast-paced shows that I personally consider shallow. I want to continue going down the rabbit hole and questioning my assumptions about everything that is going on. This gets an A+ for me and I would be truly sad if this was not renewed!
I’m with Joe 100%. Superb cinamatography, intricate storyline, character
development, Ep 5 – the soundtrack is awesome. I watch each twice, for the details and nuances I missed. Each week is better than the last.
They need to land on a common ground with the viewers , because right now they’re being repetitive too much jumping round from a scene to another in less than a second hard to know when it’s real and when it’s not … all of the reasons people feel confused then bored till they can’t take it anymore.
4 episodes in and they lost more than half of their Pilot viewers!
This is the very reason i’m in love with this show.. u never know where its headed.. keeps u on ur toes.. i’m tired of the same old same old shows that all have to same basic theme. This psychological thriller just brings an edge all the WB shows lack…. i’ve long been bored with arrow, flash, etc…
I love this show. I see why some people find it hard to follow but every episode especially the latest leaves me wanting more!!!
I think they need to step up the pace of the show. Four episodes in and honestly I’m still watching it because of love the X-Men comic books. The need to express artistic vision is making the show pretty hard to watch. Very boring.
Watced two episodes and I’m bored as hell. Too much spinning it wheels. Nothing happening. Need to skip forward to something halfway interesting.
Definitely should be renewed! It’s amazing and Dan Stevens is incredible. Cast, writing, sets are superb.
Very strange…but I liked the pilot!! Very curious as to where this is going to go.
I enjoyed the first episode very much. It is an intriguing, visually stunning take on the genre and I hope it continues with the surrealistic feel. At this point, plot is secondary to compelling actors and a fresh approach, which Legion has.
Plot should never be secondary.
just watched episode 6 , and im done , it was interesting at first be it a little different but now its just getting old really quick, its too arty farty and not enough plot, bored me silly in the end and i can stomach another episode meh Ironfist is out tomorrow so atleast there is that
