Legion

Season 2

Frequently descends into a wash of confusing and cerebral devices. Never bad, but often I found that I got far more enjoyment out of this season when I didn't try to focus so intently on the show. I'd be more likely to give this season a five if it weren't for the visuals and the narration by Jon Hamm, which make the season far more watchable than if they were absent.

Special shout out given to the fact that this show wants to treat its audiences with so much intelligence but is often undermined by the choices in the editing and sound design (which repeat bits and pieces of content that I'd much rather have to remember on my own). It became a much more passive experience to watch than I would have hoped, but oh well.

I will need to take a break on this show before tackling season three. A shame. I already had to take a two month break in the middle of this season.

@hcolesmith95 I hate to tell you this, but you probably won't make it through Season 3. I barely did, and I'm a big fan of this show's aesthetic. They stretched a very simple plot to the point of almost breaking, and introduced two of the most useless characters in the history of televised entertainment. Plus, time travel. Ugh. It was a shame.

@abstractals Oh that is a shame. I'll probably give it a go at some point. I'm going to need a break for now though!
