I was pretty into the first few episodes, but by the end I was struggling to find a reason to care. The "everyone kinda dies randomly" thing is common enough in Coen Brothers movies, but It didn't feel earned here. I liked Chris Rock in his role & Jason Schwartzman did ok (that character's a bit too silly for the tone of the rest of the show, tho, Imo), but very few of the other characters stood out. There's also like 3 different 'The Joker's in this show? I guess there's been 1 in each of the previous seasons, but at least those characters were really crucial to the events of their season, in S4, the Nurse, the Brother and the Mormon felt secondary in each of their stories...
Maybe Legion has pushed Noah Hawley in a Style Over Substance direction? But this season more than the previous ones didn't really feel like a Coen Brothers movie anymore. It didn't quite feel like a capital-G Ganster thing either, tho, so it didn't scratch either itch very well.
