‘Legion’ episode 1 recap: We all go a little mad sometimes

If you’ve suffered through enough mediocre X-Men movies to feel a general fatigue for any live action incarnations of Professor X and his lovable gang – comics fan or not – Legion is capable of changing your mind. Legion has all the ingredients for greatness: A promising cast, a wealth of well-regarded source source material from the X-Men comics, Fargo TV series creator Noah Hawley pulling the strings as showrunner, and a home on FX, which struck creative gold with Fargo and is looking to repeat that success with a similar formula here.
