Legends tv series review

By Tim Goodman. I have to kind of work at it for a bit and do my homework and listen to it. Listen and then read it back and listen again. To get it right and to get it, you know, so that people believe you and especially coming from England and working in a, with Americans, an American set and a crew. You're kind of a bit self? Television needs its comfort food even more so now that so many complex and difficult dramas are available. Sometimes you just need a show that feels familiar, keeps you entertained and ends without, say, someone being stoned to death or some sort of mysterious, ominous clue. Or sexy. And an actor like Bean, who has done excellent work in Game of Thrones and The Lord of the Rings , has the gravitas to pull off all kinds of roles. The pilot is splashy and action-packed, but overall the lack of complexity — and yes, I know I cited that as a plus earlier — makes it less satisfying. The average TV comfort food is now almost too good; you have to pay attention while watching, which almost defeats the purpose. That makes it hard for a show like Legends. Because those hours have gone to Banshee and The Blacklist.

But it would be nice if Legends acquired a little more heft.

No terrorist-of-the-week conceit, either. I have to say I think season 2 may even be better than 1. Fox Martin is considered one of the best in the business, but his intensity and complete commitment to his legend has an effect on his personal life. It's a decent show, second season is a very different format to the first but just as enjoyable perhaps more so as it's a bit less 'American'. No nuthin'. A mysterious man contacted him and alleged that "Martin Odom" is just another legend--just before he was stabbed to death on a subway platform, dying in Martin's arms. Every new episode we find out new things in this ongoing madness of the life of the protagonist. AudioFileZ 9 October We slowly peel away the layers of Sean Bean's character s , and though there's more than a passing resemblance to Jason Bourne, Sean Bean manages to hold it all together and make Martin Odum believable. His personal life suffers because of the time demands of the job and because he struggles with reintegrating himself into his real life, where he has a young son, Aiden, and an ex-wife, Sonya Amber Valletta.

The setup of Legends is familiar as a law-enforcement procedural: each week more or less , Martin assumes a new identity or takes on an old one in order to help bring down criminals. It's a damn shame that poor writing lets such a great piece of work go to waste!! Martin's personality is suited to this work. Powered by Alexa. I like how Season 2 ended. I definitely recommend watching this series and truly hope it will be back next year. To go undercover, he takes on a "legend," which is a completely new character. No nuthin'. The acting is great. I don't like this "pilot episode" set-up for a new spy vs. Contribute to this page Suggest an edit or add missing content. Centring on the work of a specialist division of the FBI that builds cover identities to get its personnel close to terrorists, drug dealers and other unsavoury sorts, Legends attempts to give us an insight into the psychological effects of the work that they do, whilst keeping things entertaining with some action. The hazards he faces are physical and psychic.
