TBS, the network of “very funny” programming, has a brand-new animated series to share with you tonight inFinal Space. But it’s not really a comedy at all.

We got our first look atNoah Hawley’s upcoming FX seriesLegionback in July, when thefirst trailerdropped at Comic-Con, and it promised anX-Mensibling series unlike any mutant adventures that have previously graced our screens. That wasn’t exactly a surprise considering the series comes from the visionary creator behind the consistently surprising, odd, and ineffable Fargo series, but it’s still a joy to see. Now, two new teaser promos have hit the web, offering even more confirmation that Legion is a series that’s not afraid to get weird with it....
