I’m kind of shocked that it made it to another season...it is definitely not mainstream superhero fare, and it’s really pretty difficult. The comparison to The Prisoner that Stoic made is a good one.
I really have no idea where this thing is going.

This is going to be a ride.
Edit: I also see Jodorowsky/Moebius’s The Incal in its DNA

Season 2 opening episode just the same, lost during most of it and think I'm up with it at the end.

My guess is the horrors of this show are basically real, all this madness stuff isn't monsters from another dimension, it's mostly people being horrible to other people.
I appreciate the depth of every minor character, especially that the baddies have actual personalities and lives. That said, that evil dudes gayness felt a little too writing class at that point. As if they told the writers to lose the housewife and use an existing character.
Loved the ice cube guy, that firmly rooted the great sixties vibe in the plot.
Great acting, casting decisions that work. I'm holding off on season two for now until we're a couple of episodes in, checking out Babylon Berlin instead.

I really dig how the really insane, batshit stuff kind of stopped sticking out. Android chicks with mustaches. A dude with a basket on his head. An extended scene with Gemaine dancing hypnotically, teeth chattering harmoniously.
The interludes of calm and normal are the moments that don't seem to fit.

They better not cancel this show. If the crappy CW shows can continue to reproduce like rabbits and stay on air despite being formulaic garbage, then Legion needs to survive.

I don't think my mind could have withstood the pounding if I had binged this show. I can barely keep it together through one episode at a time.

The Legion FB group has an interview with the show creators which appears to be an attempt at damage control for all the meandering. Someone says, “for me, HOW I fell the story is as important as what happens.” That’s great bit I’m not a college student going to the dollar international films on campus.
