I haven't seen ep 5 yet, but after 4 I've gotta say I really like it Very Happy It's weird as hell, but it's got something that keeps me interested and both style and acting are actually pretty solid (for once in this subgenre Laughing).

One thing that worries me somewhat is that I'm not really sure how long can a show like this go on. For now it still feels fresh, but the formula seems a bit limited for a longer run.

Yeah, if another season happens they have to add something more to the mix than just "unreliable narrator!!".

I'm enjoying the show a lot - I can't wait for each new episode, really, but if I had to rate it I'd give it something like a 6.5/10. I find it's all style with little to no substance, but what a style man!!!

However I don't know if it can continue like that for another season..

This was the best episode so far, and legitimately great in its own right.

This show turned out to be very Twin Peaks-like, and I don't mean just that it's weird, but there's a BOB-like character and all. I'm loving where they are going with this.

Also Aubrey Plaza is simply amazing in this show, and I don't just mean that she's sexy.

Interesting comparison with Twin Peaks, although that whole town was crazy, and here it's all in one guy's head. But I also see the parallels Smile

How exactly does this relate to X-men? Is it in the same time line as the X-men we know for example? Or is it just "mutants in show = X-men"?

It's set in the world of X-Men, where mutants exist and the goverment hunts them down. And the protagonist is Professor X's son in the comics, so the link could be explored eventually, in next season for example. (Eg the latest episode references the protagonist's father and his actions).

Nothing more than that so far.

I love this show to bits Very Happy It's the best tv show based on a comic book by faaaaaaar. I like how they alternate the pacing and use different layers in storytelling. It's legitimately creepy at times, which is cool. The acting is also superb and the story, despite all the weirdness, actually has a certain logic behind it. Even the weirdness has a reason - it might be one of the best representations of telepathy I've seen on TV.

Great stuff, really happy it got renewed.

it's not a superhero show.
It's about a superhero who finds out he's a superhero while living the entirety of his life thinking he was psychologically fucked up.

It's not a superhero show. It's a show about mentally ill people who think they are superheroes. But really they are high on drugs drooling in a corner.

I'll have to go with WaldoJ's version for now. The show presented both versions, but since the very first episode characters have been insisting that shit's real and it was mostly David that needed to be convinced that was the case. With the inclusion of

 Spoiler:
 


in the latest episode, I think it's too late to back down from it's connection to X-Men and pretend it's about a nobody mentally ill dude.

We shall see, one episode left.
