Please tell me you're watching the new FX series, "Legion"
Based upon the Xmen character "David Haller" who is the son of Charles Xavier. He is played by Dan Stevens who reminds me of Ben Stiller both in looks and mannerisms.
I don't know how much the show will track the comic book, but episode 1 is a hoot.
The supporting cast is fun and game, including Rachel Keller as love interest Syd Barrett, the love interest who must not be touched
.
It takes place mostly in a mental hospital with lots of interviews and talking. I like interviews and talking. And superpowers and biblical level amounts of supernatural global distruction. Yeah, both are good.
This has a serious/quirky tone that, like the superb "Fargo" series, serves it better than does the tone of, for instance, the CW comicbook shows. Doesn't beat Netflix's Daredevil series but is otherwise just about the best comic book based show around right now.
So, seen it? Like it?
EDIT: OMG. Episode 5. Cover of "Why are there So Many Songs about rainbows". Are you kidding me? So terrific.
