What is Legion?
Fans of standard superhero shows likeAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D.orGothammay have been startled when they tuned intoLegionfor the first time.
Characters even swapped bodies and broke into musical numbers.

Its worth noting that David isnt an entirely original character, though.
Wait, are other X-Men on this show?

Are there other mutants?

And do they still want to use him?
Is David Haller free from his mental illness?
Davids real memories have been restored and the Shadow King is no longer infecting his mind.
But does this mean David is in complete control of his powers?
Recovery takes time, trauma always leaves its mark, andLegionisnt really about stability.
Will more people watch?
This may be the most important question for season two.
Now that its been expanded to ten episodes, FX seems to be betting thatLegionbecomes a true phenomenon.
Its certainly like nothing else on TV.
