The pilot episode is stunning, driven by incredible performances from Dan Stevens, Aubrey Plaza, Jean Smart, Rachel Keller and the rest of the cast.
Says FX: We’ve come to expect excellence from Noah Hawley and with Legion he has delivered another major creative achievement.
FX also specified the series was likely to feature all-new characters from the X-Men universe, independent of the movies’ continuity.
Just as he did in re-imagining Fargo, he is bringing an entirely new aesthetic and sensibility to the enormously popular and richly represented X-Men world.
