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?
Love, love love this show. I am a big fan of super hero shows and love the twists and head turners of this show. Best show yet!! I watch this show every week and love how you have to pay attention to this show and have to put your phone down. If you pick up your phone, your lost. I love how you have to pay attention to get this show, has my full attention. Keep up the great work!! Too many shows gets boring, not this one!! Can’t wait till season 2 to start. Love it!!
I loved the cricket lullabye, there are very few shows that push the edge of sound, music and storytelling to such innovative limits.
Renew! Renew for the THIRD season!! I have not been this invested in characters or a storyline in SO long! Amazing writing! Amazing actors! I literally just finished the first season and immediately began searching for a way to rate to try and keep on the air (the good shows always seem to get canceled) so we HAVE to show this ones a keeper!!!
Finale was just as great as the Pilot…cant wait till next season!!
Worst TV show i have ever seen, It was all on hallucinations, I bet season 2 will be produced based on hallucinations, What a waste.
Dude what!?!? Yes it’s on hallucinations but it’s more trying to build history, show you the crazy mind warp he has lived in his whole life to make more sense of the character AND to show you how crazy strong his mind and powers are to handle this thing living inside of him. Maybe if you’re like super against drugs I could see the hallucinations being a bad a thing – maybe. But I really think you are missing the big picture on that pt.
I got bored with it. Every show was just about the crazy sh*t inside their heads, not reality. An actual story would be nice.
It does take a bit… I’m not gonna lie I had to watch twice to fully get it but OMG when you can unlock the crazy and understand where these writers were going – SO GOOD!
Legion is an awesome show visually and intellectually. It’s what I imagine taking acid would be like… Crazy camera visuals..
Agreed! The production team did a BADASS job!!
This is one show I have to watch 2 or 3 times over. It’s challenging and sooo intriguing. This last episode (7) I thought the special effects were CrAZy good ! Have never seen a human being Crumpled up before.
Albrey Plaza – def needs a Emmy for her acting !
I can Not wait til til the next episode. LOVE this Weir d show !!!
This show is so damn crazy and weird.. I can’t stop watching it! I like it.
I can’t wait for next episode for season finale phenomenon show so thrilled got renewed need to continue live on x-men series well done.

I am loving this show! The not knowing what the heck is happening & what is gonna happen next is addicting.
I can see why some people who like predictable shows wouldnt like it, so dont watch it!
I honestly think the people who didn’t like it 1) didn’t give it a full chance and 2) I really think a lot of them didn’t take the time to understand it. On the surface this show is weird as ****!!! But once you accept that it operates out of multiple realities and multiple personalities and a hell of a lot of psychological mind ******* – if you can keep up it’s literally thrilling. I can’t remember the last time a show kept me THIS on the edge of my seat, yelling at the characters, empathizing with the characters…. really… Read more »
I cannot believe I wasted 20.00 on this show. I had high hopes this show would show some promise, but it just made me sick and I have a pretty strong stomach. This is an embarrassment to the Marvel world. Please cancel.
Me too, It was the worst TV show ever.
Just curious (other than stomach problems – this show is definitely not epileptic friendly) what didn’t you like? Just curious cuz I’m like major geeking out on it lmao!
I guess you prefer the boring cookie cutter predictable comic book adaption junk that’s been repeated for years now. To me that’s an embarrassment.
I like to have an idea of what’s going on. This doesn’t have any reason to it. None whatsoever. It’s actually annoying. And the bad guys don’t even have character. They’re just disgusting. And the female character/villain friend is actually supposed to be a man just did some strange dance to an old Nina Simone song and I had to forward through it. I can’t take anymore.
Lmao it’s definitely confusing!! The villain character that’s disgusting is the same as the chick (she uses the female friend as a guise to not be discovered, and I had a hard time watching that nasty myself lol thus the victory dance as she low key is winning her evil game). We gotta hand it to the costume designers for succeeding in making my skin crawl with that nasty monster tho!! But she/he (monster/fem friend) is the main real villain. Then there’s these military cats too that admittedly r kinda lame trying to take David down and don’t even know… Read more »
I think it should be canceled. I love the Marvel movies. I like the premise of Legion, but it’s getting to complicated and confusing, without enough acion. They spend too much time outside of reality. And it feels like the story stopped progressing. I’m not gonna watch anymore episodes.
