The conversation between Cary and Jemaine's character would suggest that some poeple are already familiar with Farouk/Shadow King.

100% agree. It's been hinted at and this episode basically confirms that the Shadow King has been suppressing all Davids other personalities.

Just watched episode 1. Outstanding stuff. Good replacement for Iron Fist, in case that actually turns as sour as it seems it will.

I am enjoying the show, but the story seems thing to say the least and is being stretched too far for what it is. They need to move on quickly, the most interesting part of the show for me at the moment is the iced dude. Only thing I know is that he is suppose to be that old womans husbands that she decided to freeze, but he is also very powerful?
Fuck knows, I did enjoy last weeks scene when the dudes clicking his fingers and fucking people up.

That whole sequence was stunningly beautiful. Peaceful but a strong sense of melancholy as Syd is put under, on thr brink of breaking through. This show man.
And I'm happy with the shows pace. You rarely ever see a show meticulously play with a premise like this. The show runners can take all the time they need in service of telling the story they want to tell.
Yep agreed on the notion she will probably end up absorbed with him. I think it can be stopped/changed though. The scene with Melanie demonstrates just that, it's still on-going.
Oh shit nice find!
I know the creator has said that this season's story will get a conclusion, but I hope that doesn't mean that they get rid of Lenny and as a consequence Aubrey's role in the show. She's too good to be a single season villain.
Yeah I hope that
they keep Lenny around after Shadow King is gone, but my feeling is that Lenny won't stick around.
It suddenly became the Aubrey Plaza show and I love it
Him still being mentally scarred for life
even after Shadow King is defeated
real schizophrenia or Multiple Personality Disorder
First, I'm glad this show has been renewed for season 2!
And while this episode was good, I felt it went by slowly, probably making it the 'weakest' of the season. But it seems by the promo that next episode is going to pick up the story again, so I can't wait another week to watch it.
Also, Cary and Kerry are the best characters <3

Yup this was Aubrey plazas mvp episode. That dance sequence <3
Fuck me this episode was so good.
I absolutely love the Professor X call out too. He tried to act so holy yet gave away his only son in an effort to hide him from the Shadow King. And failed. I really hope we have some follow up to that, especially considering Patrick Stewart is down to show up (though not sure if his actor fits the timeline better or an aged up James McAvoy would).

Very Saul Bass, I thought. Definitely ties into the 60s aesthetic they've got going on.

This show is just too good. It's weird. I don't want to post in this thread because I don't want to read anything in this thread, but I've just gotta express how blown away I am by Legion. The acting, the writing, the cinematography and overall production is absolutely top notch.

I was wondering if I was the only one who got a Rocky Horror vibe on part of her dance number. Just fantastic.

That Lisa Hannagin rendition of Oh! You Pretty Things is totally a Bowie and Kate Bush love child, mainly in the chorus.

"Let me make it plain, you gotta make way for the homo superior"
The way the song cues up, with Syd slowly waking, becoming aware of this nightmare. Unsettling in the best way.

Legion will receive tax credits from California as they film season 2, which means that production will shift there for next season.

Is this on any streaming services in UK? Or have to watch it though other means?
Where was this season filmed?

Hopefully they don't run into the same issue X-Files did where the visual tone of the series (in outdoor scenes, at least) got destroyed in the move.

Hmm... I could see that being a problem actually given how David's from out in the country. I guess they could still shoot in NorCal if they keep doing flashbacks?
Edit: sheesh, they're making another Law & Order?
Mmmm, isn't that mostly color grading though? There were only a handful of outdoor scenes so far in Legion...

With X-Files, all of the dreary forest scenes became barren desert scenes.

Show looks like it's mostly on stages, so this shouldn't affect much. (Though they're gonna be shipping some mad Set Dec/Props over to CA if they have to reuse any sets). They can always do a small 2nd unit if they need to get an exterior from S1.

This show is so wild. The first episode was great but the second had me a little worried that it would lose the weirdness after the pilot and just focus on Camp Summer training for most of the season.
I'm so happy the show doubled down on the weirdness and has mostly stayed away from the typical super heroics. I hope the landing gets stuck. Two episodes to go.

Also,
I knew it was the Shadow King.
She better remain and be Shadow King for the rest of the show. If they get rid of her for any reason I'll drop the show. She keeps things so interesting and dynamic I look forward to see what character she is playing or what she is playing next.

The amazing part is that Aubrey Plaza's character on the show was written to be played by a male actor originally.
Aubrey's amazing Sanpaku eyes make her perfect for the role. They make her look completely unhinged and evil.

Holy fuck, this show has Jemaine Clement?

Prancing through key fucked up moments of David's life, and concluding with her walking out of his old bedroom with a noose hanging​ from the ceiling. She's the fucking devil.

She was swinging on his noose IIRC.

I will say, at this point, if Syd or anyone is actually just a splinter personality of David's, it'd be a huge deflation of the quality of this so far. I'm really, really hoping they don't go that route.
