What happens when the most powerful mind on the planet is broken? Legion tells the story of David Haller, an incredibly powerful telepath whose inability to control his powers has resulted in a world where seeing isn’t believing and nothing is quite what it seems.

Noah Hawley and the Emmy-winning team from Fargo cranks the surrealism up to 11 in this adaptation of one of Marvel’s lesser known mutants (although the flashbacks with his follicly-challenged father might give a clue as to his identity).

Legion has the most amazing visuals, bizarre characters, and whacked-out non-linear storytelling that I’ve ever seen in any superhero show. Both I and the unaging simulacrum living inside my mind give it two thumbs up!   – Davery

The Haunting of Hill House is a new(ish) Netflix horror series based on the Shirley Jackson story of the same name. The series switches between the Crain family of 1992 renovating the eponymous house and the dysfunctional adult version of the Crain family of 2018 still reeling from the trauma that drove them from Hill House.

Parallel to the gutting interpersonal drama, there are also ghosts everywhere with each character encountering ghosts or paranormal events of their own. The Haunting of Hill House is equally effective dealing out crushing emotional character beats with legitimate “well I guess I’m not too old to need to sleep with the lights on for the next week” scares.  – Sam

Agents of SHIELD entered into this year without any kind of vote of confidence at all. ABC, its network, and Marvel, who produces the show, both seemed to be at that dating stage of the relationship where they would tell their friends “It is, I dunno, fine I guess.” (as they tramped around with that useless harlot show Inhumans.) Which makes it even more crazy that they just went “Screw it! We are going to tell the story we want to tell!”

This last season, season 5, has some really compelling pieces. A huge part of the story revolves around a time traveling piece into a dystopian future, aliens, all the while doing some amazing character development, especially with this fan’s favorite couple FitzSimmons.

And the bonkers seems to have paid off, as the show was just renewed for a 7th season, even before the 6th season has aired on ABC. – Jaws
