This Legion review contains spoilers.
Legion Episode 5
Legionis unreal.
Kudos to Noah Hawley and the kind folks at FX, take a bow.
Anyway,Legionis also unreal because nothing that happens on the show is actually real.
Tonight we got further confirmation that everything is all just an illusion to David.
Nothing is to be trusted or taken as fact repeat as necessary.
Tonight, Lenny, Benny, King, the Devil with the Yellow Eyes (The Shadow King?)

We should have known something was off from the opening minute of the episode.
David is returned from the astral plane changed.
Even in his intimate moments with Syd inside of the white room, Davids new charisma is unsettling.
But this new David isnt really David.
Im not even convinced that weve met the real David yet.
At least we know who the villain is.
Theres brilliant character development littered throughout Chapter 5.
Syds harrowing story of her first sexual experience adds new dimension to her fears of her power.
Watching Cary care for and worry about his and Kerrys delicate ecosystem is sublimely sweet.
The whole cast is really utilized wonderfully.
