When he wasn’t leading the X-Men, Dr. Charles Xavier conceived a mentally gifted son, David Haller. Unfortunately, Haller was diagnosed with schizophrenia at a young age and spends his life in and out of psychiatric hospitals. His group of friends and fellow mutants are more than happy to help him dig up his inner demons though, while also staving off a threat everyone thought was long dead.
Developed and written by Noah Hawley of Fargo fame, Legion like Logan before it offers up another angle to the whole “real-life superheroes” concept. If you’ve missed out on the series, now’s your chance to get into it. The upcoming season will also serve as its last, wrapping up the David Haller epic in a neat little bow.
