Legion was a short lived masterpiece on FX from 2017-19 that is a near perfect show…. and next to no one watched it. It was created by Noah Hawley (of Fargo fame) and based the Marvel comics by Chris Claremont and Bill Sienkiewicz - and it stands singularly on its own in tone, storytelling, writing, and aesthetic from the MCU (and tv in general, really).
It’s such a hauntingly good show that was capable of terrifying you, absolutely breaking your heart, and making you die of laughter- usually all in one episode. and of course, it features an incredible cast: Aubrey Plaza (on a whole other level), Dan Stevens, Bill Irwin, Jemaine Clement, Jean Smart, Hamish Linklater, Nevid Negahban, and more.
It’s on Hulu, and I recommend not binge watching for your own peace of mind.

The direction, acting, writing, cinematography and production are some of the best I have seen on TV. I watched it on Apple TV+ as it kept getting recommended and I am so glad I did. It's a pity that Apple is not promoting this series as much as they should. Do give it a shot!

An underrated gem of a show that was ahead of it’s time. If you enjoy dark humor, weird characters, science fiction & conspiracy theories give it a watch. Sadly only lasted two seasons. *Skip the more recent 2022 American remake*

Didn’t plan to give the series another shot but I’d heard this season wasn’t following the previous formula…it’s giving full Twin Peaks vibes. The owls are not what they seem and I’m 100% here for it.

I’ve been doing this since the end of Dec..I was reading an interview about mental health habits and the person shared they do this at the top of each day:
Make a list of these 5 things- full sentences or singular words, whatever comes to mind.
1) 5 things you’re grateful for today
2) things you need/want to do today
3) any fears or resentments
4) things to avoid feeding into today
5) things to strive for/go after today
I love a list, and jotting it down in my daily planner is a nice way of not being too precious about it. 🌞
