I think that's because

Legion is completely WTF at this point.

Right?! It's halfway and it's making less sense than ever. (On the other hand, that was also true of Dirk Gently, which went on to land the ending brilliantly.)

These kind of comments make me wonder if I'm somehow missing a whole load of stuff because it seems pretty coherent to me (relative to the fact it's about someone with uncharted psychoactive powers and a history of mental illness of course).

I'm a somewhat irregualr viewer & poster on here so please forgive me if this show has been mentioned before (I don't really have the time to check back through 75 pages of comments).

Anyway, SOUTHLAND....

Best cop show since The Wire (my fave US TV show of all time).

Dynamic, gritty, very well acted & brilliantly directed, plus you don't need to watch several episodes to get hooked (the one downside of The Wire).

I hadn't heard of this show until about a month ago.
Since then, I've watched the first 3 seasons and have just started on season 4.

First season was solid & each new season is slightly better than the last IMO.

Great show basically.....

Latest episode of Legion.

Woah.

Started off slowly and quite straightforward, but boy did it move things on and be creepy as fuck in the second half, and ended brilliantly.

It's got such a sneaky way of drawing you in during the episode and just as it has you in its grasp, the bloody episode ends!

Plus bonus asses.

Love this show.

Finished Santa Clarita diet last night and the end of the final episode was a straight set-up for Season Two so hopefully there'll be more of it.

Really enjoyed it from start to finish, and the 28(ish) minute running time for each episode was a nice snappy change of pace from other series.

Many genuine LOL moments in there, like properly laughing at the telly.

If you have Netflix then watch this.

We watched the first episode. Ruth liked it, I thought it was a bit silly.

I am liking Catastrophe.

What was that Atomic Blonde that was it cheers.

American Gods trailer

It's ok, ending was a bit of a damp squid.

Squib? Or am I missing the joke..

The OA can go fuck itself

The Expanse really is ace.

So the last episodes of Legion was pretty disappointing. Mostly it was good and all, but the middle of it was just such a horrendous exposition dump that it shat all over the pacing of the entire series. There wasn't even an attempt at subtlety, what with sticking the main character in an actual fucking classroom and just throwing facts at him. Every aspect of the story that had been left unexplained up to that point was just rushed through in a couple of minutes like they'd lost the courage of their convictions. Boo!

I didnt really think it was that bad. There's still lots of stuff going on that is entirely unexplained or at the very least seriously sketchy, and there was very little in the exposition that we didn't already know; but it was a neat scene and the animations were cool. The only thing it spelled out was the identity of the parasite, which in itself wasn't even that much info.

Though the thing in the first minute...

Only one episode left! I personally foresee an ending where either:

Something else I wondered about: what's the deal with Lennny in general? He definitely existed because David's ex-girlfriend remembered him so has he just dropped out of David's life at some unknown point and then the parasite's taken over all those memories in David's head? I thought I remembered Syd actually interacting with and referencing the female version when they were in the asylum (doesn't she talk about how she killed his best friend when they swapped bodies and she freaked out?) but that can't be true because that version never actually existed so am I just misremembering or is that still unexplained?

AFAIK Lenny was the girl in the hospital, who was a friend of David. The bloke in his past with the similar name was just another rando, whom the parasite blended into the girl to make it seem like they were friends and went way back. Girl Lenny was real and Syd did kill her by accident when in David's body. The Shadow King then used those memories as a way to talk to David more explicitly, as he was getting too scared and unpredictable when confronted with the yellow-eyed demon form. So said King needed a new way to influence David, and Lenny happened to be a recent memory..
