734823, Legion Season 3. The Final Season.
Posted by bwood, Mon May-06-19 11:45 AM
It's back on 6/24.

Even though Season 2 was a chore to make it through (among it's many other problems), I might as well finish this out.

I hope this shit is only 6-8 episodes tops.
734840, I'm excited.

Season 2 got way the heck up its own ass at times but this show just LOOKS like it's fun to make, only Better Call Saul and maybe Fargo really keep up in the clever photography department.

I think that is Mr. Robot personally, better show, better execution. Season 1 of Legion was great tho, Season 2 was a chore to get thru so hoping gets back to what made season 1 special.
735314, Well, they definitely aren't taking the easy road out.

It'll be very interesting to see how they land this thing.

...great season 3 opener. loved every single moment of it. this is indeed my sheet.

I know a show is good when, at the end of it as the credits roll, I realize that I'm sitting there grinning to myself.

seems like they are having so much fun creating this. I know I'm having so much fun consuming it. All of my senses were thoroughly and completely entertained with this one...theyve done set a high bar now!
735497, Gonna watch the final episode soon.

This season is ten times better than the last one. It's still way up it's own ass and nowhere near the quality of Season 1, but still relatively enjoyable.

Let's see where this ends up at.
735533, This season was better than season two
Posted by Numba_33, Wed Aug-14-19 12:33 PM
but boy oh boy was I left unsatisfied with that last episode. The lack of nuance is probably what upset me the most in terms of how Legion was depicted in the end. A bit too much suspension of disbelief was necessary for me to fully buy into that the show was selling me in that final episode.
735538, I like the final episode the best out of the entire season...
Posted by bwood, Wed Aug-14-19 02:59 PM
...however, this is still nowhere near the quality of Season One. Yeah this season was miles better than Season 2, but it was still lacking.

Definitely would recommend the first season and then jumping ship after that.
735540, The first two or so episodes were top notch material
Posted by Numba_33, Wed Aug-14-19 04:09 PM
I could be wrong, but I think that was before the time travel stuff got introduced. The actress that played that role deserved a much better role and storyline, especially given how beyond the pale this show is. She was definitely an after thought.

I don't know how much this would have improved the season, but I would have liked to see first hand how present-time Farooq managed to get back into the present after getting tricked by Legion and Switch in the penultimate episode.


That Big Bad Wolf episode with that god awful rap battle was one of the worst episodes of anything I've watched in recent memory. I have some serious doubts about the upcoming season of Fargo based on how this show ended. That next upcoming season will be the last for that show too, correct?

Yeah man. Switch had no motivation at all after the first episode. She was a literal plot device, not a character which is a shame to the actress as she was dope.

Same.

Yeah, that entire episode was awful.

No. It's just a new season.
