Ranking Every 2017 Comic Book TV Show Worst To Best

3. Legion

Fox’s X-Men shows sort of came out of the blue last year, but much like the company’s most recent big-screen outings, they’ve experienced a qualitative resurgence like no other.

Legion, the first of these efforts, is a testament to that. Created by Noah Hawley, the show centres around David Haller (Dan Stevens) - the son of Professor X and potentially the most powerful mutant alive - as he goes through the motions in a psychiatric hospital. Unique from top to bottom, Legion quickly found an audience for its atmosphere, cast, and its suitably sinister mystery, and things have only gotten better over the course of this last year.

After its January debut, Hawley's series quickly established itself has a genuine force to be reckoned with, tonally separate to the rest of the X-Men canon, despite residing within its universe.

It's just genius, and while any plot synopsis wouldn't do justice to the show's many twists and turns, there's no getting away from the fact that Legion is a stellar series.
