Critics got the first 3 episodes, so the praise isn't just for episode 1. And apparently the next two are a lot more straight forward and less abstract.

It's not fatigue
‘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
shyt was literally confusing with an extremely confusing character
I honestly don't think the average person is going to want to get mind fukked everyweek with a character that has hundreds of personalities and hundreds of powers
Thats overkill and tbh, these critics are overrating it because it's "different"

I don't get why people think the entire show will be like this episode. Yes, there will be mindfukkery but it won't be as extreme as this.
I will say that I knew this shyt was going to alienate a lot of folks as I watched it. I think they really overestimated people's open-mindedness with that shyt.

It's only 8 episodes so they'll explain more soon
I'm gonna spoiler tag this because it may be something....or it may not. It's just something I noticed.

I've said Syd is just another personality, this isn't necessarily proof but it's something to 
over.
When David is in the hospital and Syd gets in bed with him, the door opens....but there's no feet there.
Then the camera pans up, and there she is:
So she's either not there, or she can float.

Final numbers (Live+3) for the premiere are 3.3 million which are very good. It's 3 day total increase is the most in FX history.

Hex, tell these fukk nikkas to be patient. This show has crazy potential.
No one has brought up how vivid the cinematography is.
The music played so far is dope too.
People ask for different types of film, find it, then complain about it
I didn't want to say it before but it low key reminds me of "Utopia".

A lot of comparisons to Kubrick, Wes Anderson and David Lynch are already being drawn to the cinematography/director styleHex, tell these fukk nikkas to be patient. This show has crazy potential.

Saw a Deadline headline on facebook that said "legion is a grower, not a shower"
Man, I went to lunch with a couple younger girls....not that young, I'm talking early 20's and they asked me "are you a grower or a shower?"
I was like
Took me a week to realize they were flirting.

I think people are saying its confusing because they have prior knowledge of the character. I had no what this dude does or who he is so to now come in here and see that all these people around him may be him/in his head...... yeah fukk this
