Late to the party, as it were.

On the back of Homecoming (excellent, same writer), I binged series one a couple of weeks back. Brilliant.

I'm now onto series two. Oh dear.

I'm losing the will to live with the second one. Aimless plot. Inexplicable and annoying characters. He's behind you, oh no he isn't, actually that basketball court bench is a prison and your trifle is a laptop. Yawn. An extremely shiny and well polished yawn.

Does it get better? Is it actually worth sticking in there to get to the remaining two series?

I think I gave up on it in series 1 as wasn't that hooked and knew I wouldn't last for 4 series, lots of people seem to rave about it though...

yes

Things ramp up more with The Dark Army and there are still new baddies to come into it that make everything up to now seem boring.

And someone from season 1 comes back and that is well worth your time

I found it tiresome at series one and gave up on it the second episode of series two.

It does get much better. Series 2 was filmed around the time of the US writer's strike that effected a lot of shows so just get through it so you keep track of stuff, it makes the rest much better to follow.

The last season is absolutely amazing. I also found season 2 to be stringing me along too much (they often do this when they don't know how long the run is going to be). Thankfully by the last season they know exactly where they are going.

There were times where I gave up trying to understand what the hell was going on.

Season 4, episode 5 was a definite highlight. I think I was half way through before I realised...

Enjoyed Season 1 and stopped watching somewhere in Season 2, or possibly we finished Season 2 and I just can't remember what happened.

I thought it continued downhill all the way to the end. A bit like 'Lost' - good premise, but confused and at the end, just plain odd.

Downloaded Season 2, but never got round to watching it.

Season 1 was excellent.

I often wondered if you were actually meant to understand Legion or meant to be on drugs to understand it? But I enjoyed it and it had some great music.

I thought it was a fresh, original idea and a thrilling ride full of twists. During the 80s I was otherwise occupied and didn't watch Fight Club. I am disappoint.

I thought the third series was the toughest to get through, it got a bit abstract. Overall though, it was excellent, so well filmed and acted. I struggled with homecoming though, series 1 was enough for me.

I thought it went a bit rubbish halfway through S1, and I gave up there.

I gave this a go back in Nov while I was off work post op. It started OK but I gave up about 3/4 way through. I think the fact I knew it went off the boil in S2 and seemed to go a bit crap at this point in S1 made me lose interest.

First series was good, gave up on the second. Wasn't easy to follow and too much infill.

S2 is a real struggle but it's worth persevering. It gradually gets better from S3 onwards and gets really good towards the end again.
