Legion

Season 2

I can't wait to binge watch this season... I feel like it's better understood as an epic; rather than as individual episodes. The waiting from week to week definitely adds to the chaos and confusion that is David's Mind. However, as a long epic, I think that it would be a more cohesive look inside the way someone who has disassociative identity disorder manifests internal conflict. His internal struggle is greatly amplified by his powers which causes those around him to become the unwilling participants of the shifting selves of David. If you really want to get philosophical, the whole show could be happening in his mind. He might even be all the characters at once. Who knows where David ends and the real world begins. It becomes a rabbit hole of possibilities. Back to simplicity. You could definitely love one part of David and hate his other selves. Which to me is what Syd was saying when she discovers his different faces. She says, "YOU leave me!" Not physically leaves her, but the part that she loves, the caring part that disappears as the Id of David manifest. He's is good and evil and all in between. A spectrum if you will. It would be hard for a "NORMal" person to understand this show in the first place. Maybe wait to binge watch over a long weekend, before giving up on this masterpiece...
