Season 5 Review: Legends of Tomorrow flies high as a kite, and the kite was hit by lightning, so now it’s an omnisexual talking kite firing electric rays at sexy history. ... A little self-awareness goes a long way, but Legends has a charm that’s more old-fashioned than meta. Every adventure is a game of dress-up. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Legends is not meant to be about logic and philosophy. There are other TV shows for that. This isn’t one of them. This is a time-traveling group of sundries looking to kick ass and take names (a bar fight involving Sara Lance, Snart, and Mick Rory is a standout), and in that it succeeds. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Action is nicely balanced with sense of humor, and characters (most of whom have been seen in other contexts, including "Arrow" and "The Flash") are developed well from the beginning. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The groan-worthy dialogue’s a head-scratcher, as Legends Of Tomorrow was developed by the team responsible for Arrow and The Flash, while showrunner Phil Klemmer is a veteran of quippy favorites Veronica Mars and Chuck. But the bigger mistake here might have been creating a show starring characters who wouldn’t be compelling enough to anchor their own star vehicle. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Legends still has a ton of potential, largely thanks to its talented cast. Before it can realize that potential, however, the show will have to course-correct from some seriously clunky, scattered missteps. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The superhero cheesiness that is often endearing on The Flash and Supergirl goes into overdrive here, and while some of the action is impressive, it’s in service of such silly, borderline nonsensical storytelling that even hardcore geeks might find it a bit much. Read full review

Legends has improved so much, I love that the show doesn't take itself too seriously anymore. You can always count on Legends to make you laugh and we all need a show like this 10/10

From the leftover to the most watchable TV show of Arrowverse, Legends of Tomorrow is definitely a good example of jumping out of the confort zone and just messing around with serious stuffs, and it does hell of a good job.

This one continues the course of the previous season, which cemented the show as the fun member of the Arrowverse. The team finds themselves hunting down magical creatures, such as a unicorn or fairy godmother, and things get as wacky as they sound. Admittedly, this season gets a little too campy and schlocky for its own good at moments. It's hard to think of this as being in the same reality as the dark world of Arrow.

However, also like last season, the show can get effectively serious. If you're worried about the character Constantine (Matt Ryan) being watered down from the comics then you shouldn't worry. He bears the brunt of the heavy storylines and his sad life is especially compelling.

The show's pretty good at surprising you, too. I wouldn't have guessed where it ended based on how it started.

You get to see a lot more of the time bureau, Ava (Jes Macallan), and Gary (Adam Tsekhman), who I thought were great additions last year. Now that the time travelers are linked to a home base, they spend a bit more time in the present, which I appreciated because it actually gave more time for character development.

Cast remains strong. Although I didn't feel he was well utilized in the first half of the season, the goofy, good-natured Ray (Brandon Routh) has some great interactions in both his continuing relationship with Nora Dahrke (Courtney Ford) and his bromance with Nate (Nick Zano). When Zari (Tala Ashe) was first introduced last season, I was on the fence about her. Now, she's one of my favorites. She's kinda the straight man, but she does so well reacting to everyone.

Dominic Purcell remains a good actor as Mick Rory. But, I feared he wasn't put to good use, mostly just reacting gruffly and participating a in a subplot involving his sci-fi romance writing, which was fun at the start, but I felt more time was put on it than necessary.

They managed to keep cast member Maisie Richardson-Sellers. Since Amaya's story was concluded last season, which was inevitable given its nature, they have her as a new character, a shapeshifter named Charlie. She's a rebellious survivor and I like her, but felt she needed more screen time. Glad they got Constantine. Like I said, he's the more serious character. It's interesting watching him with his more cynical/world-weary personality dealing with the other more lighthearted cast.

We meet Nate's dad. He's basically the estranged father trope, but Henry F. Wilson (Biff from Back to the Future) brings a lot of life to the character and he and Zano have good chemistry.

There is one new addition who doesn't work: Mona (Ramona Young). She's a little too goofy for her own good. This season juggles so many characters already that they didn't need her.

This season may be too goofy for some, but if you want something different and lighthearted I recommend this season.… Expand

Seasons 4 of "Legends Of Tomorrow" continues to be a delight. The show delivers on what it does best-- hilarious time traveling scenarios with tons of pop culture references.

The show delivers on what it does best-- hilarious time traveling scenarios with tons of pop culture references. This is my favorite DC show because it has the most heart. My favorite episodes this season includes: the Charlie's Angels and A Team spoofs, evil Fairy Godmothers, magical creatures, killer puppets, Mick as a romance writer, and hypnotic nipples. I'm glad Gary, Mona, Ava and Nora (Courtney Ford) have expanded roles this season. They are great additions. Also, the magical creature idea is hilarious. I dont care as much for the Constantine/Neron story line. Constantine's a bit too gloomy for me but hey... someone has to create drama. Also Neron seems like your run of the mill baddie. Everyone's always trying to unleash hell on earth. Come up with a new plan dude! Good news! The show as been renewed for a season 5 so we'll get to see lots more of our favorite time traveling misfits. Praise Bebo! They'll be back midyear 2020 but will participate in the CW crossover this fall. Not sure how that will work but it will involve the Monitor (who we saw in the stands of the Superheroes vs Monsters show at HeyWorld).… Expand

If you want fan service, say no more. DC’s Legends of Tomorrow takes on pop culture and historical fiction like no one has done before. On paper, this show should not work. Yet after every episode I keep tuning in for more. It’s grounded, uplifting and in sorts a weekly reunion of dweebs.If you want fan service, say no more.

It’s grounded, uplifting and in sorts a weekly reunion of dweebs. Definitely recommend if you enjoy shows like Firefly, Star Trek, Dark Matter, Killjoys, Final Space, Happy!, The Orville, Ash vs. Evil Dead or movies like Shazam, SpaceBalls, Deadpool,...
It takes a whole season before they find their footing but past that point it becomes a classic in the making.… Expand

Many episodes feel like pointless filler, and Neron is a poor ‘big bad’. Despite these flaws, “Legends of Tomorrow” is light-hearted, wild, fun, and handles touchy subjects sensitively.

It's entertaining but constantly pushes feminist views. Such as female characters get alot more character development and male characters are portrayed as more of a comedic relief and childish.
