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.
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.

I only started watching this show because of the partners in crime Snart and Rory, but as I continued watching, I found that I really liked some of the other characters as well. I never really enjoyed the hawk gods, but Sara the assassin and Ray the overgrown puppy dog made the show more action filled and, dare I say, adorable. While the story line may not be favorable, I found my self tuning in every week to watch my favorite characters interact, usually gravitating towards Snart because of his wit and sarcasm. Also watching Rip act like a disappointed father is always a plus.

SEASON 1
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. There's more in a single episode here than in the entire megabudget first Superman movie. George Reeve would be proud at how the genre he help found has grown up!

SEASON 1
Unlike The Flash, Arrow and Supergirl, there arguably are too many characters to service here. Add a lot of attendant gobbledygook and mostly shopworn banter.
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.
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.
The many mismatched parts make Legends feel like several different shows competing for supremacy, with some more engaging than others.
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.
So far, very enjoyable and fun! Leaving me at the edge and wanting more! Love the star wars references! Arrow and flash fans arent the only ones who need to watch, but a brush up on the 2 episodes the shows cross over together really help when you watch them before the pilot obviously.

SEASON 1
I had begun watching the show after hearing how it is different from the other Arrowverse shows. But honestly I can't say the same about the first season. Seeing it made me think everyone was exaggerating. The first episode itself it had the same problem that plagues all the Arrowverse shows: The character conflict happened because Rip Hunter kept a secret about the characters being known as legends in the future. He could have told the truth too, it wouldn't have mattered. The season introduced a pretty cool cast of underrated DC characters like Atom, Captain Cold, Firestorm and my personal favourite, Heatwave. The show is meant to show them as time travellers who go in different timelines and screw things up. In this season, however, they have a pretty rocky start. In fact after reaching Season 3 I already forgot about this one.

SEASON 1
The breezily paced Legends of Tomorrow offers high octane action and an epic scope, which should add up to an entertaining ride. However, it stumbles with its overabundance of characters and a surprising hollow tone.

SEASON 1
The show was exciting and had a good premise in the science fiction realm. However, by season three they seem to have devolved into the typical season three or four issues that most shows display, namely 'let's explore personal issues', 'we want to be a soap opera too', and 'gosh, my super powers are gone...again'. Needless to say, the writers insist on seeing how far they can push their liberal left agenda with open sex and adultery, gratuitous ****, casting the creator into the role of an evil presence, and uncaring sarcastic commentary. All the behaviors that make life worth living! Well, we are living in the end days of Judgment so I guess this all seems 'normal'.

SEASON 1
The first few episodes are really fun to watch but towards the end it is just cringey, I couldnt watch the season finale thats how bad the last episodes, they are so predictable, save yourself some time and watch the flash if you are interested in superhero tv
