Television Legion | An Original Series From FX and Marvel

Looks promising. Is this the chubby guy from the Downton Abbey though? He lost like half of his weight
Looks good.
Given what abilities Legion should have this could be fun. Wonder how they incorporate it (or if) with some other X-Men. Pretty-much-unexpected-esque-style like in Deadpool? As in, you know, two mutants who did not feature much, are not mainstream ones (although one could argue that Colossus is mainstream but whatever) stuff.
It actually looks a lot more interesting than I had expected. It's on Fox though, so if it does exceed expectations and is genuinely good they'll cancel it after two or three seasons no doubt.
So this is standalone universe right.
Its defo not MCU (cos yeah, Xmen mutants arent unfortunately)
But as @Kostur said, just Fox' Marvel Universe (which contains Xmen, DP and FF?)
Looks intriguing though to watch the first ep.

I liked that fella in 'The Guest'.

Its on FX, not Fox.
FOX are useless, I am just waiting for them to cancel their only good series in a few years, The Exorcist.
This being on FX gives me higher hopes for the quality, FX has taken some leaps the last years.
Premiering tonight, if I'm not mistaken?
Reviews seem to be good:

Is that Picard's crazy son, right? Age of Apocalypse bringer.
He's a right mad cnut
Bit confusing at first but then it gets a lot funnier, looking forward to the second episode.
It's started then? Any good?
I didn't like it. To me it was boring and too confusing. I'll give it another chance if you guys will rave about it later on, but will pass for now.
Yeah I'll give this one a pass also. Boring, confusing and trying too hard to be different.
Might give it a try on the binge after the season ends.

I liked it. It was a real mind feck though. I was more shocked than anything that what i thought was his mother ended up being his sister 
It starts of slow, and its defo hella confusing, but for me thats a good thing. Like whats real, and whats not, but the good thing is, its like the character is thinking the same thing.
Then theres the chaos / battle at the end that turned it from decent to good imo and was a good payoff. Looking forward to the next episode.

It was pretty good. Felt like they had a lot of setting up to do in the first episode. Will keep watching.
I have a mate who thinks this could be better the The Exorcist
Tell your mate he is off his rocker. Nothing compares to The Exorcist.
I agree with you, not looking good for season 2.The show pulled in under 2 million viewers per episode, which might be enough for some networks, but makes The Exorcist Season 2 a long shot on a network like Fox.
Yeah those cockbiscuits at Fox aren't exactly known for their great taste, but I have faith that a network like FX, Showtime, Netflix or Amazon will realise it's potential if Fox doesn't renew. The show has a huge cult following and is just the type of show to succeed on the more niche specific channels.

This article with the director seems mildly positive re season 2:

Hah, I thought that too and having watched the actress in The League thought she was too young to be playing his mother, thought they just went with weird casting.I was more shocked than anything that what i thought was his mother ended up being his sister
That escape at the end, jeez, shocking CGI. Okayish pilot, not that much interesting yet thou.
I feel a little bit less sane just from watching that first episode.
The part when that dude was just using his hand to throw people made me laugh.
Which is funny, up until the escape part, the rest of it actually looked quite good in terms of graphics.
Hm, I liked it. Atrocious CGI in the escape scene though, it was like we're in the 60's or something.
Dan Stevens is great
The angriest kid stuff and that demon thing he keeps seeing is creepy AF
Im loving this so far.
Its so crazy in the "I have no clue whats going on and I love it" way.

If he is remembering that memory properly and he really had that book read to him, then wtf was his freaky dad thinking?
Im kinda hoping its his step dad... cos .... well ... comics :P @Schmiznurf
But yeah, that was some fecked up stuff.

Yeah, that would be cool tbh. Hoping we do at least see who the guy was, bet he's a bad guy.
I love the play of colours in this series.
Dr, Baker's advanced time-travel class has been cancelled.
Guess we can safely assume all that summerland stuff was in his head.

Watched the first episode last night, very weird to say the least but somehow I found it really entertaining and like it so far, just that it's so different from your conventional superhero series makes it a welcome change.
Loving this show so far. 2nd and 3rd episodes were much better/less confusing than the pilot btw (luckily).
That fat head devil with yellow eyes thing is creepy AF. And the big headed angry kid character from the book. ffs.
Really enjoying this so far, and its only 3 episodes in.
Its nothing like anything else im watching so really really enjoying this.

Agreed, love the show and it's got so much potential. I like that it's a bit confusing and you have to concentrate.
As mentioned the devil and angry kid are genuinely creepy! they would make great halloween costumes
The lead actor is fantastic too.
