Where can you find the first episode of Legion season 2 online?
The first season of Legion left a few things unresolved, to say the least. David Haller had spent most of his life in and out of mental hospitals. He could hear other characters’ thoughts, but just thought he was hearing voices that didn’t exist. He could sometimes control objects with his mind but just thought he was going crazy (if you asked David, he would tell you that control might be overstating it). The first season of the show was spent helping David understand and control some of his abilities. But he possesses so many that I’m sure not all of them have come out yet. In the original X-Men comics, David Haller (or Legion) was almost an all-powerful mutant.
During Legion season 1, the other members of Summerland came to understand that, while David himself was not insane, there was a powerful creature living in his head that did make him schizophrenic. They successfully removed the other creature (the Shadow King), but it was not a clean break. In his (or her) search for a new host, the Shadow King latched onto Oliver, Melanie’s recently revived husband, and escaped. After that, David was abducted, so it’s anyone’s guess who took him.

If that sounds complicated, it’s because it is. Legion is not really a show you can watch casually. It demands a fair amount of engagement to truly understand what’s going on. But the show is so interesting looking, and frequently makes very creative storytelling choices, so that’s not too hard. At least that was true in the first season, hopefully season 2 can provide a worthy successor. The official TRAILER for season 2 certainly looks like its going to try.
