Emmys 2017 Nominations: 10 Most Outrageous Snubs
3. Legion
Somewhere along the line, amidst a busy television season, everyone seems to have forgotten about Legion. And that is just not OK. Sure, genre shows rarely do well at the Emmys (an argument it's getting harder and harder to make, considering the success of Game of Thrones and Westworld), but Legion is such a creative experiment that it doesn't feel like just another science fiction/fantasy series.
It simultaneously solves the problem of what to do with a superhero who is too powerful to function and fundamentally changes what a Marvel property can be. Because when you're watching this show, superheroes in spandex are the furthest thing from your mind.
It's an emotionally and intellectually draining assault on the sense and nothing has been done quite like it before. Dan Stevens is devastating in the lead role, channeling his effortless charm into a mentally broken character.
Legion changes the game for the wide universe of superhero programming and while it might not be exactly the sort of thing the Emmys usually go for, it deserves some attention, especially in the more visually creative categories.
