Am I the only one watching this?

Looks to be another good show from Noah Hawley (Fargo), its about a lesser known X-Men character, similar to the Marvel Netflix shows in that regard. 2 eps in and its really good so far.

Watched the first episode and though it was confusing I liked it a lot.

So far pretty awesome. Everyone should watch it. It's one of the more unique shows I've ever seen.

Do we get any other x-men in this?

I don't know enough about x-men lore to know all the fringe x-men characters, but I did read that in the comics Legion is actually Professor X's illigitmate (sp?) son which helps explain why he is so powerful. Also read that the voices in his head are actually all his different powers. Apparently he has a lot of powers. I think so far we've seen him teleport and move things with his mind. Anything else I'm missing? He was also able to that weird ghost teleportation to where his sister is being held captive, I assume that's a different power than the regular teleportation?

I read the main actor doesn't even know all his powers or a lot about the story cause they wanted him to be able to act confused.

He read the girls thoughts who is basically the same as rogue.

He also blocked that one guys powers but that may be something else.

The girl doesn't have Rogue powers. I think her only power is that when she touches someone she transfers bodies with that person. If I'm not mistaken, Rogues powers are when she touches someone she steals their powers?

Oh, that is true.

right on about rogue's powers and all that.

i liked the first episode for what it was, and hey having ol girl from fargo lose a little weight along with the indelibly cute aubrey plaza never hurts anything. that said i wouldnt be surprised if the pink floyd girl from fargo ends up being an imaginary character of sorts [since this is pretty much the MO for legion as a character]

i heard the 2nd episode fell off hard from the first, but that makes sense given that you might wanna shoot way more of a wad in a pilot than you would episode 2 when you know you have at least 6-12 more episodes to do your thing. i might have to try and catch up on #2 before tonight's episode to see if it's worth continuing on with.

this week's episode was odd to say the least. They need to get things on track soon, confusing the audience only works for so long before people get fed up.

Season 2 starting back up soon. Now is a good time to get caught up as it was a good show with a lot of potential.

This show is back. This is one of the strangest and coolest shows I've ever seen. Start from the beginning though.

Love this show. I'm glad it gets a final season to tie it all up.

Watched episode 1. I have no idea what's real or in his head. Sid Barrett is beautiful...classic, right out of the '60s.

I finished this up yesterday. It was one of the most creative and strangest shows I've ever seen. I'm not sure it was as great as I had hoped but it certainly was far different than anything I've seen on tv. The plot line was above average but the acting performances by the main people and the side characters really made the show.

I would recommend watching it but go in expecting something different where sometimes you really don't have any idea what is going on. I'm glad they ended it after 3 seasons.

I'm glad I stopped watching one ep into season 2. Sounds like one of those crappy artsy shows that people later try and convince themselves they enjoyed.
