I'm looking through all the bad reviews out of curiosity. They seem to consist of:

- It's confusing and even by episode 3 I still don't understand the plot which makes it boring.
- It's difficult to follow.
- Jumpy storyline. No structure.
- It's pretentious. Trying to be like Kubrick.

I dunno, sounds like people expected something somewhat similar to a typical Marvel superhero plot line and structure. Personally I would've rated this show lower if it ended up as one so I'm glad it went in this direction. I'm also a fan of Kubrick/Refn/Lynch so the style is up my ally. I personally enjoyed Hannibal season 3 which people made similar complaints about, so I guess I'm the "pretentious" type

Oh I'm referring to IMDB reviews and a couple Metacritic reviews - I should've been specific regarding that. Looks like in IMDB it's starting to reach 90% but it was low 80s and was curious on the reasoning behind the low scores.

David is still sick. He's just so much batter than he was with the Shadow King out of his head. We have no idea the extents of his illness or his powers.


Out of curiosity I looked up the Legion entry on Wikipedia to learn more about the character and the second sentence in the intro paragraph covers this. I won't say more than that but I don't think it ruined anything for me after completing the first season without previously knowing anything about the character. It'll be interesting where things go in the second season
