The first episode of the third season of "Legion" is one of those experiences where even after two stellar seasons you cannot believe Hawley and his colleagues have the guts to try and pull off one unexpected moment after another. I found myself responding in superlatives that would make an ad agency marketing director cry tears of joy. Granted, they still have to find a way to wrap it all up in a manner that lives up to the chapters before it but based on the meticulously planned out narrative we've already witnessed, I might be more optimistic than I should be. The only thing I don't like is that they sometimes spend to much time deepening characters in an abstract way.

Spectacular first episode for hopefully a spectacular final season!

This is an episode that shows how Legion has the ability to become one of the most distinctive shows on TV. The writers are telling us "Yes we know David is the strongest X-man, but how can we show this in the strongest and most imaginative way possible?" and they did not let us down. Sadly this is the last season of legion, and I have no doubt from what I saw in this episode that the writers and director are putting everything in it for us to enjoy.
Well done!
Trippy as hell. So good to be back.

Great season opener. It introduces new characters, recaps the story up to now, visits the existing characters where they are following season 2 and introduces new powers/antagonists while taking us on a visual acid trip while propelling the story forward in an entertaining way. Far out man!
Absolutely perfect

This season opener blew me away. I was fully captured from the opening scene through to the credits. I am so excited to see how this final season ends. It will be bitter sweet, but all great things must come to an end.

Noah Hawlee is a genius. The cast is brilliant. If you love this show and want an inside story of Noah's character, listen to the armchair expert episode with Aubrey Plaza. Very cool! If you loved Fargo Tv show then you will love this! It's extraordinary. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Let's go around again. Please!!
Too confusing for its own good. Lost its sparkle since Season 1.

Season 2 lost its way big time half way through the season, and Season 3's opener seems to follow the same route.
It only really picked up when David and everyone else turned up, but boy that first twenty odd minutes were pretty tedious.
Season 1 of Legion was utterly brilliant, whilst the first part of Season 2 was very good, but since its lost its way for me.
I really hope the remainder of this show picks up, as I still like it when it goes back to David's story, so stop with all the characters I don't care less about damn it.
Pointless
