FX's 27-Episode Sci-Fi Masterpiece Deserves Kudos For Breaking Every Storytelling Rule
For all that sci-fi television has become much more experimental narrative formulas in the age of streaming, one corner of the genre remains surprisingly attached to tradition: superhero shows.
AI Summary
The FX series Legion, which aired from 2017 to 2019, runs for 27 episodes and was created by Noah Hawley after he was tasked with adapting a Marvel property. Rather than follow conventional superhero formulas, the show treats each scene as an opportunity for experimentation, embracing confusion, discomfort and unpredictability. Its surreal storytelling dismantles typical expectations of the genre, positioning the series as an early example of superhero surrealism that predates later MCU experiments and genre‑subverting series.
