Featured review
Ep4 I saw the bait but now I'm hooked
This is the defining episode for me at least that made me a believer and loved Legion!!!! Keep in mind this is after hearing all the talk that this series is all style and no substance.
Episode 4 was amazing but this one knocked it out of the park with a superb last 15 minutes! And that ending...wow!
I think my favorite thing I've seen besides the spoiler in ep4, is in ep4 when we see David on the security monitors and he snaps his fingers, demonstrating how powerful he is but..m
This episode was very experimental, really like this whole series is reminding me of...wait for it...community! Just the creativeness and the unique vibe of creating a genius.
I've put this series off until June 2018 because I had my reservations hearing it compared to a very popular series that imo is just ok to me. So I assumed this series would have no story and plot but the surrealism only...wrong! It has everything to make a truly unique experience! That's exactly what it is an experience. I think episode 5 really defines what this show is about, well for me at least since it's the latest I've seen.
So, with my strict rating system where I rarely give a 10 out, this episode deserves one for making a fan out of me and now giving me a fun amount of episodes to binge.
The hype is real and the hate is fair too. I can see this going over some people's minds just like really creative shows did in the past(not to sound pretentious or condescending), I actually dont mean to insult anyone who dislikes or like any TV series, hey, good for you to find an outlet from reality. What I mean is sometimes a series can be ahead of it's time so some people may think and feel it doesnt fit in.
Hey, I'm not a fan of TP and everyone seems to compare this to that and lord knows I've watched it 3x thinking it had to be me, but sometimes some shows just dont click.
This one absolutely does, however! I love it! I suggest keeping an open mind and watching it while you're alert and fully awake!
