Legion is the most brazenly inventive series on TV. ... The genre mash-ups that result are often as weird as they are striking, and they delight as art objects even when they do little to advance the story. (I consider it a compliment to the show to say that it doesn’t care all that much about plot; others will not agree.) ... The frustrations and indulgences are all of a piece. This is someone else’s dream. You get to watch it, question it, and sometimes dance to it.

The writer has taken key elements of his source material and applied them to a canvas of his own design. What’s here may feel familiar in singular moments, but it’s a breathtakingly original work when looked upon as a whole.

Very original writing, high quality performances, top notch production, and most of all, boundless creativity. Season 3 is the best show on television.

It’s difficult enough staying on track having seen the previous two seasons. If you want to make up your loss, go back to the beginning and work your way toward the third season. And be prepared to be challenged. ... What hasn’t changed is that “Legion” remains an intoxicating experience laced with a grand sense of wonder. The humorous touches are every bit as clever as the visual treats. The performances are every bit as compelling as the production team’s command of the narrative.

It is, to say the least, audacious. More importantly it’s interesting. It’s about the interior as much as the exterior. That’s weird. That’s good.

The challenge of Legion will be to make David’s quest for wholeness more than the sum of its flashy and often captivating parts. But the humane core of the drama offers a reason to hope for the best.

Aggressively listless season. ... All of Legion's wannabe weirdness is like that, PowerPoint surrealism hiding a total lack of imagination. [28 Jun 2019, p.54]

This has got to be one of the most creative shows I've ever seen. The cinematography is just out of this world. Only other shows that are as good or come close are Mr. Robot, Homecoming and Breaking Bad. The story is equally amazing and thought provoking. Don't want to go into details, but let's just say it kept surprising me with unpredictable things. When I thought the story was going this way it did a complete 180 and left me speechless. One of my most favorite (comic-book) series ever together with Marvel's Daredevil.

Personally, I think this is one of the best, one of the best looking series/movies about super heroes/mutants. The story is outstanding, decent acting, and overall fun to watch. Highly recommended.

This show is like none I've seen before - it's style (as of writing this) is one that no other show or movie has. It doesn't limit itself by what makes sense or what needs to happen, and instead chooses to do what it feels like. While some have said it uses that to waste time or pad out the story, I'm of the belief that that is what makes this show so special; it focuses on being art more than being a story, even though the plot is good enough as is. And even if that complaint is true, it still doesn't change the inherent originality and creativity of this style, which of all my searching I've found nothing remotely similar.
