Legion was a show that I watched because of X-Men and Noah Hawley. I will probably never watch anything again just because of the presence of either of these components (never mind them combined), but it is notable that even in my late twenties I could be seduced into viewing something because of that. Hawley has proven to be a bag of false goods, but this was probably one of the more consistently strong things he has ever done. Maybe?

It’s funny to think about how weird and stupid this show sounded before it ever aired. Noah Hawley seems pretty dumb. He writes bad novels. He made a movie nobody liked or cared about. He writes his dialogue like he’s an essayist but he has nothing to say. At least nothing notable or interesting. But he somehow has made some fun seasons of television shows. Whatever else, it’s probably where he should concentrate his time.
