Deep Dive: Legion Season Two

TV Party

With the end of the second season of FX's kaleidoscopic, surrealist superhero show Legion, Allison and Clint bring on Alex McLevy from The AV Club to discuss its highs and lows - from Aubrey Plaza's beautifully cagey performance to the season's slow pace. Plus, we break down some of our favorite images of the formally ambitious show, and some of the more interesting side characters we hope get more focus in season 3.
Sandwiched in between our discussion like so many of Noah Hawley's nested dreamscapes, Dominick Suzanne-Mayer also materializes to discuss our picks for this past week, and what we're looking forward to next week, from Queer Eye to Strange Angel.
