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?

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.
 
Man, when the Devil comes a-knockin', he does not smell of sulphur and brimstone, he smells of sweet perfume and roses... Doing a bit of research for a short story. All I wanted was some examples of professions typical for jurors in a trial of the time and location of the story (1850s New Orleans - of which I am not very familiar, so I have my work cut out for me). ChatGPT delivered that very nicely, giving me a list of a dozen typical professions for the type of man that was eligible for...
