    The pilot is confident and fun, and firmly establishes a new part of the world worth watching. [19/26 Oct 2018, p.92]

    Legacies establishes its world fast. This is a supernatural “Riverdale” — which might be redundant, given the direction of that show this season. But after two series, the magic is thin and your interest may wane like the moonlight.

    It's slickly produced, but it all comes back to a formula that CW has mined a few times too many, where raging teen hormones are further complicated by extraordinary abilities. Granted, vampires are undead, but it might be time for them to at least take a bit of a rest.

    A pilot that's conspicuously bland, but not without some fresh-faced CW-style appeal.

    Legacies must be given credit for boldly confronting the bigoted myths about lycanthrope/Wiccan miscegenation. And its continuing salute to Our Friend The Mouse (perhaps an allegorical reference to Disney?) is welcome and educational. Who knew rodent entrails could be used in so many spells?

    Great and funny show. Many well constructed characters. A few secrets. Good actors in interesting situations.

Every episode started to feelI gave up on TVD about a season and a half before it ended and dumped The Originals after about two seasons. Every episode started to feel the same. Overstuffed story lines made viewing tedious. The mythology became near impossible to keep track of every time they retconned something.

    Legacies feels fresh but benefits from the deep mythology already in place. I don't know if it's just the story of the season or something that they can sustain, but I'm on board and enjoying it.

    Oh, and of course it's the CW, so your usual left-wing buzzwords and virtue signaling are present, but not toxically so like the DC Berlanti-verse series.

    A tentative 7. Let's see how the season ends.    … Expand

    Slow start, and uninteresting. This show has a long way to go in order to inherit anything from its predecessors. Two episodes I am done. ISlow start, and uninteresting.

Otherwise not wasting my time or letting it taint my love of Vampire Diaries and The Originals (which was brilliant throughout).… Expand
