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.

Pretty good show. I only watched half of VD and a few episodes of Originals, this show definitely stands on it's own while at the same time referencing the others. I like that they didn't stick with the same supernaturals, and how they included other beings and had a decent explanation of how they can exist without being in the other shows. Also has x-men vibes obviously with the school for supernaturals and having a super team which actually works for me. Like others said, it's refreshing. The "tone" (i guess?) is a lot brighter / funner and it also helps that it doesn't revolve around the same characters every episode (so far, review in season 1). I recommend even if you didn't watch the other shows.

SEASON 1
A pilot that's conspicuously bland, but not without some fresh-faced CW-style appeal.
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.
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?
I think this series does well by The Vampire Diaries. It was hard at first because I missed The Originals (and wasnt happy about how it ended), but this show is all its own while still giving fans an Easter egg here and there. It has only been better as time as gone by and each episode is better than the next

SEASON 1
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. I will wait to see if anyone likes it after more have aired. Otherwise not wasting my time or letting it taint my love of Vampire Diaries and The Originals (which was brilliant throughout).
