The X-Men-themed drama, which marks FX’s first foray into the Marvel universe, hails from Fargo mastermind Noah Hawley and stars Downton Abbey’s Dan Stevens as David Haller, a troubled young man who may be more than human. Diagnosed as schizophrenic, he has been in and out of psychiatric hospitals for years. But after a strange encounter with a fellow patient, he’s confronted with the possibility that the voices he hears and visions might be real.
