	Media	Author	Review
		Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"[3rd Season Review]: Thankfully not a typical Marvel series, so yes"
		Gregory Ellwood The Playlist	"[3rd Season Review]: One of those experiences where even after two stellar seasons you cannot believe (...) [it] have the guts to try and pull off one unexpected moment after another."
		Vinnie Mancuso Collider	"[3rd Season Review]: When it’s working, as it does so often throughout season 3, it’s easy to get swept up in the freewheeling creativity of it all (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Michael Haigis Slant	"[3rd Season Review]: [It] has fashioned yet another visually distinct and uniquely bizarre season around a man’s unknowable mind. (...) (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"[2nd Season Review]: Still as trippy as ever, FX's 'Legion' heads into season two with a firm grip on the story while finding its fun in a visual riot."
		Matt Zoller Seitz Vulture	"[2nd Season Review]: Season two is brazenly inventive (...) The genre mash-ups that result are often as weird as they are striking"
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"[2nd Season Review]: An even more outlandish, striking, and funny (yup, funny) second season (...) The first four episodes (...) refine what’s already been built"
		Danette Chavez AV Club	"[2nd Season Review]: There’s more of everything (...) The show remains as experiential as ever (...) The new season gives us ever more compelling reasons to make that trip."
		Mike Hale The New York Times	"[2nd Season Review]: Nothing else on TV (...) has a surface texture as disorienting and attention-grabbing (...) It’s easy, if maybe unfair, to think that all the filmmaking razzle-dazzle comes at the expense of the drama"
		Merrill Barr Forbes	"It’s a fascinating character experiment with a comic book line very few have any awareness of."
		Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"Keeping it away from preconceived comic book flourishes allows 'Legion' to maintain a more grounded and intellectual storyline. It's a well-conceived and bold escape from 'X-Men' or superhero conceits."
		Maureen Ryan Variety	"It won't be for everyone, but those who are pulled into the surreal, jagged orbit of this distinctive drama are likely to stay there for the full eight-episode run."
		Ben Travers IndieWire	"'Legion' is focused on creating a private universe within a mind of its own; one far more intricate, intimate, and courageous than any that have come before (...) Marvel's moviemakers should be jealous."
		Tom Long Detroit News	"It is, to say the least, audacious. More importantly it’s interesting. It’s about the interior as much as the exterior. That’s weird. That’s good."
		David Wiegand SFGATE	"There is an abundance of quality in 'Legion' at every level, making it a show you can’t stop watching and, oh yeah, the best show of the new year."
