I liked the first two seasons. But, last night, I turned off episode 2 of this new season about ten minutes in to watch the next episode of Legion I had lined up.

So far, the first two episodes have left me meh.

EDIT: Huh? I have episode 2, got it yesterday, but I sail the high seas, Sonarr grabbed it. I dunno where it came from, maybe it released in Europe?

yeah i also bailed after season 1. The first episode set up an interesting setting and mystery, but every episode after was a slog that missed the forest for the trees. So much focus on minutia, and very little tie in to the meta mystery. Maybe the plots eventually dovetail, but there was no sign of it along the way.

There was also no mention of basic engineering principals like preventative maintenance, redundant/backup systems, or even elevators, despite clearly advanced engineering chops to build such a massive self contained living space. Supposedly some of this is mentioned in the book but that’s not an excuse for lazy TV writing.
