So does anybody watch the TV show Legion?[/PLAIN]

It's set in a/the X-men universe from what I understand (I'm not too well versed in which different universes/spinoffs exist).
I don't consider myself to be a cinephile but this show is a work of art if you ask me.
I'm certain that I'll have to rewatch as I most often watch shows while doing other stuff be it reading fiction, drafting e-mails or reading more technical stuff.

What I can say is that the director uses a wealth of techniques to create a unique atmosphere unlike any I've encountered in any TV show or movie for that matter.

Last nights episode is particularly awesome. Those who watched it will know which part I'm talking about.

Anybody feels the same?

Hey, I'm watching it too. I also think it's really great produced. Which special part from last nights episode are you talking about?
I haven't even watched X-Men, so i had to google the background story to find out about the original "Legion" Character in the X-Men universe...
 
Only seen the first two epis. Demanding Boss Lady catch up so we can watch it together.

The silence was a great tool to build a captivating atmosphere.
 
After i watched the first season that is based of Asimov's Foundation, i started to read the first Foundation book. I stopped when i read, that they could simply resolve the conflict with Anakreon, because Terminus had nuclear technology... So Anakreon starships ran with gasoline or what?? Okay i restarted. Then Salvor Hardin said, that they trained Tech-Priests on Terminus. Okay they are cool in Warhammer40k universe, since there, demons and magic are real. But the first Foundation book...
