Legends of Tomorrow season 1 review

There are several things that remain exciting about “Legends of Tomorrow” as a series, and one of them to us is rather simple: This is a show that does not hold back when it comes to celebrate the whole “anywhere / any time” mission statement. We’ve seen this show travel back to the era of […]

Tonight, the first season of “Legends of Tomorrow” came to a close, and with that, presumably so did the story of one Rip Hunter (or so we thought for a few minutes). The former Time Master and Vandal Savage fighter extraordinaire did what he could to thwart the villain, but in the process realized that […]

Tonight, “Legends of Tomorrow” brought us one of the most epic episodes of the entire season; more than that, you could say that this was an hour in which a known villain quickly decided to be a hero in one of the coolest ways possible … even if it ended in tragedy. Tonight, brought us […]

While “Legends of Tomorrow” may be a somewhat problematic show even after Thursday night’s new episode “River of Time,” we at least are starting to feel as though the series is finding its way, and responding more to what viewers like, and what they are frustrated by. The biggest success of the entire hour was […]

We are now just a few weeks away from the finale of “Legends of Tomorrow,” and we really wish we were engaged more than we are. The show has delivered on some cool ideas, but by jumping around so much and never having much of a consistent narrative, we’re doomed to hit the same notes […]

For the first time in weeks, Thursday night’s new episode of “Legends of Tomorrow” got us on board with its crazy premise, and in the process told us a story that endeared us to the heroes, and showed us a little bit more of where they come from and what they are fighting for. Also, […]

Last week, “Legends of Tomorrow” aired quite possibly its most disappointing episode to date in “Progeny,” mostly because it seemed to be almost entirely about its gimmick, and very little about producing a great story. Was “The Magnificent Eight” a step in right direction? Sure, but there were still problems that kept this from being […]

We’re now ten episodes into “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow,” and our sentiment unfortunately remains very much the same: This is a show we really wish was far better than it is. There have been moments where we try to convince ourselves that things are going better, but then an installment in “Progeny” comes along that […]

Through much of “Legends of Tomorrow” season 1, one of our biggest complaints has been that Chronos, one of our villains, is completely lifeless. As a matter of fact, we could’ve cared less if he lived or died. Now that we know more of the truth about him, he’s at least a trifle more interesting. […]

Eight episodes into “Legends of Tomorrow,” and we are finally starting to get to the point where we understand some of what the show does wonderfully, and also where it needs a little bit of work. Where shall we begin here? It feels like a safe place is by discussing the fundamental flaw in the […]
