American sci-fi fantasy series based on the Marvel Comics character created by Chris Claremont and Bill Sienkiewicz. David Haller is a troubled young man who may be more than human. Diagnosed as schizophrenic as a child, David has been in and out of psychiatric hospitals for years. Now in his early 30s and institutionalized once again, David loses himself in the rhythm of the structured regimen of life in the hospital: breakfast, lunch, dinner, therapy, medications, sleep. David spends the rest of his time in companionable silence alongside his chatterbox friend Lenny, a fellow patient whose life-long drug and alcohol addiction has done nothing to quell her boundless optimism that her luck is about to change. The pleasant numbness of David's routine is completely upended with the arrival of a beautiful and troubled new patient named Syd. Inexplicably drawn to one another, David and Syd share a startling encounter, after which David must confront the shocking possibility that the voices he hears and the visions he sees may actually be real. (20th Century Fox Home Entertainment)

Season 1 (2017) (S01)
I really enjoyed Season 1. What I consider to be the best moment was the silent movie in Episode 7 and I think the best acting performance was delivered by Aubrey Plaza. She was fantastic as Lenny. Most of the episodes were an audiovisual blast. The first episode totally blew me away, I had no idea what to make of it. The plot gradually became clearer, but I did enjoy even the crazy chaos. At least it gave me something to think about. I'm looking forward to the second season.

Chapter 1 (2017) (S01E01)
The audiovisual onslaught with which the first episode overwhelmed me was brutal. At first, I had total chaos in everything, but after a while, I caught a clue, so I had the impression that the plot was becoming quite clear to me. However, after the end of the episode, I found out that I had a lot of questions in my head. Who is David? Who is Sydney? Who are all the others? Is there anyone real there, or is it just David's imagination? If they are real, where is Professor Xavier?

Chapter 3 (2017) (S01E03)
Legion seems to be getting better with each episode. I got some explanations for some of my questions again, but the fact is that the creators are very sparing with clarification and use it as often as chefs use saffron. Anyway, the story has hooked me, I'm enjoying it a lot and looking forward to the next episodes.

Chapter 4 (2017) (S01E04)
The fourth episode pleased me again, the plot moved in three different dimensions (reality, memories, astral plane) and all three were interesting for me. Cary/Kerry really amused me... amused me... amused me. The meeting with Oliver was also funny, I just wish he would stop touching the record player, apparently we have different musical tastes.

Chapter 5 (2017) (S01E05)
The fifth episode has so far answered the most questions that previous episodes have raised in me, only to end in a way that raises many new questions. One should make sense of it. I enjoyed the pantomime scenes, although I hesitated for a moment if there was a problem with my receiver.

Chapter 7 (2017) (S01E07)
The seventh episode was packed with events, it was the complete opposite of the previous part. I must admit that the character Kerry is a mystery to me, constantly looking forward to some serious action, but every time it happens, she ends up like the protagonist of the film Kick-Ass. Could one of her abilities be masochism? The best part of this episode was definitely the silent movie. It was a treat.

Chapter 8 (2017) (S01E08)
The conclusion of the series was decent, but it didn't reach the quality of the previous episodes. I was pleased with Clark's return, but I was disappointed by the exaggerated way the creators tried to "suggest" (rather impose) the idea to the viewer that he isn't actually such a bad person because he's gay and adopted a child! I was expecting an open ending, I had no doubt that there would be another season because the show has potential.
