(The show's title flicks at David's misdiagnosis. The voices in head? They are literally voices in his head, as he's been telepathically piping the thoughts of everyone around him. David, we're told, isn't nuts he's a next-gen human blessed/cursed with a bonanza of psychic talents that he doesn't understand. Things get strange from here, but eventually, Legion reveals itself.
