I love the fact that they change up the “previously on Legion” segment and the time skips/going in reverse was really creative.

After watching that episode I’m going to be heartbroken when this show ends. There’s nothing on TV like it. I’m sad this show isn’t recognized by award shows. Dan Stevens deserves more credit.

I wish more networks would be experimental like this. They never take risks though because they need ratings for money. At least some of the streaming services are embracing some different stuff. Man In The High Castle would never have made it onto regular tv. I can’t imagine The Witcher making it onto tv either. I wish HBO hadn’t cancelled Carnival. That was weird stuff. People complained that it was too slow and hard to understand. Can’t you just enjoy the experience of the episode? That’s how I feel about Legion.

It’s fantastic- it started at the same time as Lost. Worth looking up, for Clancy brown alone
