It is a show that features people with superpowers, it is going to be put in the genre show box and get completely overlooked. Better shows than Legion have been snuffed because of this, a good example is John Noble on Fringe.

I'll take that bet, easy.

That stigma and the lame-rear end genre arguments that it produces are beginning to fade, and more importantly, this show is so loving nuts it makes it really difficult to view it as a standard superhero show within the first episode, and only further rejects genre (and all other) conventions as it continues. In fact, that rejection itself is likely to be what gives it its reach.

Hawley's already made his name with the critics with Fargo, and Plaza, the most mainstream actor on the cast, puts on the drat performance of her life. It's already picking up a lot of attention among non-nerds, and FX is completely cleaning up in general right now, so people are paying attention. I'm not gonna pretend like I know poo poo about TV awards, and this show might not get as much widespread love as I think it deserves (cuz I'm a huge loving Stan, clearly), but I really can't believe this show will be overlooked.
