16. Legion

We've seen a lot of comic book movies and TV shows over the last few years, but while a lot of them have the feeling of being too samey, it's safe to say there's nothing quite like Legion.

Only tangentially related to Fox's X-Men universe, Legion brings with it all the great acting, gorgeous cinematography, and idiosyncrasies we've come to expect from Noah Hawley (whose Fargo won't return until 2019), but adds in a dose of superpowers and uses them all to analyse the mental health of lead character David (Dan Stevens).

Season 2 promises to take us even deeper into his mind, while we'll also learn more about Division 3 and their plans, and get to meet the 'proper' version of the Shadow King, Amahl Farouk (played by Navid Negahban).

Air Date: April 3
