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

Familiar though they may be, that’s still a lot of characters to reintroduce while also establishing a premise that is sort of a Doctor Who meets Guardians of the Galaxy--with a touch of The Mummy Returns thrown in for good measure. But the show carries it off, setting up its time-travel parameters (they can change events, but not ones in which they’ve participated) as well as its hero/villain conflict. Read full review

In actual practice, Hunter’s invitation necessitates a great deal of discussion and debate. ... But once said conversations have been had, after the i’s are dotted and t’s crossed, the times ahead promise to be spread across the ages and a whole lotta fun. Read full review

The problem is that Berlanti and Co. just seem to be falling back on a template at this point, and not paying enough attention to the kind of details that have made “Arrow” and “The Flash” so good. If they want or need to fix the show, casting should be at the top of their to-do list. Most of the actors are acceptable; a couple are not. Read full 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

There is a family-hour charm among the many wooden performances and something to be said for the show's unapologetic comic book overtones. DC's Legends of Tomorrow wears its intentions, like its future tech, on its sleeve--you're either in for the ride or you're not, no character deconstruction or cinematic analysis required.

Legends of Tomorrow can't make its characters jell, can't clarify its narrative mission and can't get out of its own way and stop talking. Read full review

What a great first episode! The White Canary looks amazing! The banter that takes place with Firestorm is great. Vandal Savage is an epic bad guy. And captain cold is done absolutely perfectly. A great superhero mashup in the making.

I can;t wait to see where they'll go in the second season as the JSA is introduced and some of the past core is retired. The best superhero team TV series yet and it's great that they have learned to have LOTS of special effects on a television budget.

Production value is great for a tv series, with decent special effects and good fight scenes and cinematography. The dialogue is fun and cheesy in the way that you expect, but still has some more serious moments. The character development is a little stifled by the large cast, and there are some questionable character decisions, but hopefully that will change as the series continues.… Expand

Great premise, sub-par execution, I found the dialogue jarring most of the time, it's also not for people who want time travel to make sense, but it has good room for improvement so I wouldn't knock it out yet.

The seventh episode of this season did not impress me at all. The show, as a whole is pretty alright. Good cast, decent premise, and a great mix of characters, as long as they don't delve into Rip Hunter's backstory. I get that he wants to keep his family from dying, but I don't buy the chemistry between him and his wife, that's the only turn off for me as far as the show is concerned.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The series apparently is well budgeted based on the special effects and casting. But what are the producers thinking putting in actors too well known for their roles in another series. For me suspension of disbelief was difficult to achieve. I kept thinking about Prison Break ( a series I loved ) while watching Purcell and Wentworth's characters. The arc plot seems a tad bit cheesy. More substance please.… Expand
