Collider argues that FX’s Legion is Marvel’s strongest television series because it stands apart from interconnected franchise continuity and tells a complete story across its three seasons. The article says its self-contained format, distinctive style and definitive ending make it more satisfying than many Netflix, ABC and Disney+ Marvel programmes.

Created by Noah Hawley and starring Dan Stevens as mutant David Haller, Legion presents his many abilities as separate personalities after he has been diagnosed with schizophrenia. Its exploration of mental health, alienation and David’s moral responsibility is paired with psychedelic visuals, experimental storytelling and an anti-hero lead, giving it the feel of a prestige drama rather than a conventional superhero series.
