‘Legion’ Off To So-So Ratings Start At FX
Is television suffering from superhero fatigue? One of the best reviewed TV series in the genre, FX’s drama Legion from Fargo’s Noah Hawley, premiered last night with OK, not great 1.6 million viewers and a 0.8 in adults 18-49 (Live+same day) for its 10 PM-11:30 PM debut.

While the demo delivery was in line with other debuts, this was the smallest Live+same day total viewership for a recent FX drama premiere, below the now defunct b*stard Executioner (2.1 million, 0.8 in 18–49) and Taboo, which opened last month to 1.8 million viewers and a 0.6 in 18-49 in the demo. The Strain started with 3 million viewers and 1.2 in 18-49, Fargo with 2.7 million and 0.8, Tyrant with 2.1 million, 0.6; and American Crime Story with the whopping 5.1 million and 2.0 (all L+SD)
FX only reports Live+3 ratings, not Live+same day. We will update the series’ performance when time-shifted viewing ratings information becomes available

If they don't do multiple personalities then it's not Legion breh. That's who the character is, it's why his name is Legion. They can take a lot of liberties with the character but this isn't one of them.

The numbers aren't accurate. I don't know of a single network that reports Live+same day ratings anymore, the article even says FX counts Live+3, which isn't out yet. People write these articles solely because they want to talk about what's going on in pop culture and it's an easy click.

The interrogator in the swimming pool scenes had a modern tablet computer.
I really hope they're not going to do a "Westworld" and have
multiple timelines 30 years apart running in parallel
You're never going to be able to nail down the time or year, it's by design. It's supposed to be a mix of a lot of different eras so the story feels timeless.

Legion also has the ability to absorb people if they die near him, and they become another personality.

well i think thats what happened to the one chick but not purposely. She's dead because he switched bodies with the other chick and she couldn't control his power, killing old girl by mistake.
Legion has too many powers for me too even keep up with. Thats why I think this show might be a lil too much for most people.
Dude literally has almost every power you can think of and that's because of his multiple personalities and the ability to steal others powers too

Like I said, as much "praise" as this show is getting, a mutant thats pretty much god-like with almost every single power your imagination can think of but is operated by his mental disorder might be a lil too much for me.
It's like Mr. Robot with all the mutant powers combined and most of his battles take place in his psyche.. I can understand why he wasn't a popular mutant and I feel if this show is too out the box a lot of people gonna throw it in the bushes mainly due to confusion
Like I said.. It was ok to me but confusing af... Purposely. I'll give it a few more episodes but it has to have some real purpose or direction or I'm tossing it in the bushes
