Here we are. Season 1 finale. It's a good thing that we already know we're getting season 2, 'cause that cliffhanger was brutal.
I'll be honest, Legion took me completely by surprise. Before it premiered, I was pretty sure I would like it - I mean, it's not like I'm hard to please when it comes to TV shows. Give me some well-written characters and relationships, some fight scenes, a few explosions, a superpower or two and I'm on board. Legion has all of that, but with a twist. I came in expecting a cool origin story kind of thing, and I came out riding a motherfucking neon-colored LSD train of insanity that blew my mind in a thousand different ways. And I loved it. It wasn't just different, it was unlike anything I'd seen before. And I can totally understand why some people didn't like it. But to me, it was everything I never knew I wanted. The acting is great, the special effects are top-notch, the music is awesome and the "gotta do it for the aesthetic" attitude resulted in some truly spectacular visuals. Overall, I'm very satisfied and I'm looking forward to seeing where the writers will take the show in the future.
