Watched 6, complete garbage. Will watch 7 as it's supposed to be so good, but thinking it will probably be the last episode I watch.
Of course. Because it makes so much sense to watch all but the final episode. 
Personally, the whole show has been right up my street. Somewhere between Twin Peaks and Utopia. But with mutants and a bit of X-men backstory.

Have been liking Legion, a bit trippy at times, and concentration is needed. Definately needs rewatching in bursts, and getting hold of the original comic books.
Last episode this week, and already waiting for series 2.
I'd stopped reading the comics by the time Legion was introduced, but I was reading them back in the 70s when Amahl Farouk (the Shadow King) had the telepathic battle with Professor X , as described in the blackboard scene. As I remember it, the whole thing took place on the Astral Plane while the two protagonists sat quietly at a table in an Egyptian cafe. Last episode this week, and already waiting for series 2.
I quite enjoyed it though I think Episode 1 was probably the high point for me of the series.
I think it's set up for a more 'sane' Series 2 now, which I believe is confirmed.
The parasite is out of him, he seems to be able to control his powers (at least better) and understand who/ what he is and now there is a big enemy out there for him to fight, I can see it being less trippy.
Will stick with it but I think there's a year wait!

I tried watching this but gave up after about 10mins of the first episode. The narrative seemed completely random and unfocussed, it seemed to be just trying too hard to be edgy.
Is it worth giving another go? i.e. Is there a payoff for all the disjointed narrative? It's not that I require something that is very straightforward story-wise, for instance I really liked Hannibal even when it got really abstract and even the remake of the Prisoner, but this just seemed to be mixed up and chaotic for the sake of being mixed up.
I've got all the episodes available to watch but I've only got limited time available for TV and lots of other stuff to catch up on that I know is good.

Spoiler obviously: https://thumbs.gfycat.com/EducatedSandyArrowana-mo...I would give Legion another go, it is very different to any other Superhero TV show with the exception of Gotham, which is even more bats
t insane, but not as good as Legion.If season 2 is nothing like season 1 then I am worried what direction they will go in, there are already enough vanilla Superhero shows to need another one. Plus David is already too powerful for me, it is going to be hard to give him believable obstacles.

I wouldn't bother tbh, I've been waiting all series for it to get good, and it didn't Is it worth giving another go? i.e. Is there a payoff for all the disjointed narrative?
