b'FX\\u2019s \\u201cLegion\\u201d TV series is based on a character from the X-Men comics, but knowing the backstory isn\\u2019t important. This isn\\u2019t another superhero comic adaptation, but something unlike anything we\\u2019ve seen before\\u2014a visual and auditory feast, great actors, and smart writing that will make sure you sit up and pay attention. If you\\u2019ve written off comic-book TV shows and movies, time to circle back and appreciate this eight-episode first season from writer/producer Noah Hawley (\\u201cFargo\\u201d). Expensive music! Beautiful sets! And actors who used to be in \\u201cDownton Abbey\\u201d, \\u201cParks & Recreation\\u201d, and \\u201cDesigning Women\\u201d! What more could you ask for?'
