The 70's style look they have going on reminds me of a film or two but can't think what at the moment. Some sort of conspiracy horror thriller probably.

Also mixing the 70's stuff with modern/future tech is a subtle reminder of it being an alternative universe rather than trying to sell it as 'real'.

Really liked it so far, not sure what is really going on but they have put more effort in than a lot of these things manage. Fine television.

Enjoyed that a lot - very 'different'.

Will be interesting to see where it goes smile

Reminded me of the first season of Heroes that wanted to be as out there as Twelve Monkeys. Not sure if they have moved too fast with the first episode to keep that vibe of is it/isn't it real going long term, but it'll be interesting watching the show develop.

I won't spoil things here , but a quick google search reveals a lot about 'legions' history and plot from the comics...

Really enjoyed this and liked the Wes Anderson esque feel, I think it shows great potential if the first episode is anything to go by.

Not sure what to make of it. Hopefully ep2 will be a little less bizarre.

Same. At the moment I'm happy to give it a few more episodes but hopefully it will be less weird than the first one, I just want a bloke (or team) with special powers to go around making a mess and taking out bad guys without having to engage my brain too much.

Lots of clever little things - like "Syd Barrett", the music used, the whole changes to look and feel.....

Really enjoying just letting it all wash over!!

Hmmm, second episode was no less weird. It seems to be a little too far up its own arse at the moment. Needs to try and be a little less jump-around-y for my liking.

A spin off from Marvels X-Men. Supposedly He is Charles Xavier's Son.. He supposed to be an "unreliable" witness to his own memories and thoughts. I have watched the first one and found it a bit odd but watchable.

Okay, was hoping by Ep3 he'd be starting to use his powers but he hasn't even discovered them properly yet.

They need to kick it up a notch in Ep4 and dial down the weirdness a bit.

Lost interest completely, deleted from the planner after one and a half episodes.

Still weird but I thought Ep3 was a much better episode overall

Ep4 done.

Trying too hard to be weird. Really losing interest.

I have a feeling that it's not weird. It's not kooky. It's just st.
