Sort of true. Legion is actually based on the comics and even in the TV series it is revealed that he is Charles Xavier’s son. Also, a big part of the reason that the show is so wild is that you are dealing with a main character who is either a schizophrenic, or a telepathic/telekinetic mutant with reality warping powers, or worst of all both.
I cannot recommend this show enough. I am so tired of shows that lead you around by the nose and explain everything in detail, sometimes over and over. Legion dumps you in the story, apparently in the mind of a madman, and leaves you to figure out what’s going on for yourself. The show guides you, it doesn’t lead you around on a leash. It is a refreshing experience.
Also, Aubrey Plaza and Jemaine Clement are simply amazing in this show. Eight stars out of five in my book.
I had some issues with the almost nonsensical decision-making of the end of Season 2. But, I can forgive some of it because of the sheer amount of risk-taking on display to show well-crafted mini-stories within the main plot. And they had the balls to really end the series with a proper finale.
Some parts were messy. Some parts were loosely-connected with bad logic. But, it was still one of the most creative series I’ve ever seen.
The show is really good even if you’re not into superheroes it plays more like a surreal psychological thriller, but if you are the 80s/90s legion comics have some really cool art, along with new mutants, gen 13, etc.

I feel like 5/7 is a better rating.
Best callback ever. Well done.
