Is anyone watching Legion? Thoughts on it?

I'm caught up on S2 and it's great, I might be liking S1 more at the moment though.

    I thought season one was spectacular. A completely different type of super hero show when there are so many of them on different platforms right now.

    With season two, I fell off halfway through the first {episode} and never got back on the train. I tried the second episode a couple times but it's just becomes o complicated and weird I ca no longer follow what's going on. Seemingly arbitrary things keep on happening and I don't know what's up with the plot.

    I'd love to like the second season, but just can't get there.

      There ia very interesting stuff anyway. The whole green/red and the whole cinematics and editing is amazing, and Aubrey Plaza. I just wish they'd told more of a story sometimes.

          Really amazing, yes. The Bolero scene video popped up after yours, I had forgotten about it. One of my favorite songs of all time.

          I also think I'm missing a lot of references in the show... But I still enjoy it and will continue watching for sure.

      Yeah, I think this will likely be what I end up doing as well. Loved the first season, watched half of S02E01 and will likely just wait until it's all out to get back in on it.

        I found it hard enough to follow with the kids running around the house, weekly breaks there is too much going on
