Legion
Open your third eye.
Created by Noah Hawley
On FX
A visually baroque, psychologically fractured superhero drama that collapses the boundary between mental illness and reality, told from an unreliable narrator's perspective.
David Haller, AKA Legion, is a troubled young man who may be more than human. Diagnosed as schizophrenic, David has been in and out of psychiatric hospitals for years. But after a strange encounter with a fellow patient, he’s confronted with the possibility that the voices he hears and the visions he sees might be real.
