Quote:His ability to speak via facial expressions really made me take notice. He would have made a phenomenal silent movie star.


I didn't know who he was before this. Surprisingly (and despite my general affinity for British TV), I'd never wathe Downton Abbey. I'm more of a Faulty Towers/Are You Being Served guy. I think I'm going to have to check this out now.


In any case, I'm glad you liked it. I can definitely see how it'd be confusing. The characer, by definition l, is incredibly confusing but once you accept that about Haller, everything else just sort of falls into place.

His character in Legion is obviously very different than on DA. Like a 180 on steriods. I liked him well enough on DA but wasn't blown away being as it was the only thing I'd ever seen him in. Watching Legion has totally changed my opinion. Dude has some skills. And you're right about his facial expressions. They seem more pronounced than on DA but that could be because his face is a lot leaner as well as his character being so different.  I can't wait to see how this plays out. 

 

Saying all this I need to make sure I watch The Guest tonight. I think he's a shady character in that one.
