"Arrow" and "The Flash" have some new superhero company in the CW's lineup with the addition of "DC's Legends of Tomorrow." After seeing what doom the future holds, time-traveling rogue Rip Hunter realizes heroes alone are not enough to prevent the impending catastrophe that threatens the planet. Tasked with recruiting both heroes and villains, Rip brings together a ragtag team of divergent talents, which includes the likes of Sara Lance, Ray Palmer, and Heat Wave. Although the team continually adds and loses members, their goal is always the same -- prevent supervillains from destroying time itself.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Fancy effects, comic-book nostalgia, and an alluring cast help keep it afloat, but DC's Legends of Tomorrow suffers from an overloaded cast of characters that contribute to a distractingly crowded canvas.

These guys aren't legends yet, but if they play their cards right they just might get there one day. Go to Full Review Alan Sepinwall HitFix 01/29/2016

At this early stage, Legends of Tomorrow feels more like Agents of SHIELD at its outset: a way to extend the brand by any means necessary, and worry about what the show actually is later. Go to Full Review Jonathan Bernstein Daily Telegraph (UK) 01/22/2016
3/5
There are other moments where you recognize you're watching something that wants to be a cross between Doctor Who and Guardians of the Galaxy. Even if it never gets close to fulfilling that destiny, I'm sticking around to watch it try. Go to Full Review Molly Templeton Reactor 08/24/2018
If we can just get some sharper writing, a better villain, and someone to fill the hole left by Snart's tragic departure, Legends might just level up. Go to Full Review Matt Webb Mitovich TV Line 07/25/2018

Brenden D @WestWardReviews Mar 20 An Interesting Concept With Massive Sloppy Execution It's Great To See B & C Tier Characters Get More Fleshed Out, But The Actual Execution Of The Series Has Some Missteps. The Rules Of Time Travel Are Wildly Inconsistent And Constantly Broken For The Sake Of Plot, And The Main Goal Could Be Solved By Going Back And Stopping The Enemy From Ever Being Born. Savage Is Vicious, And Some Of The Fights Are Cool, But The Plans Are An Absolute Mess I Love What They Did For Captain Cold & Heatwave, But Some Characters Get Forced Into Unnecessary Situations To Force Drama That Goes Back & Forth. The Excuse For Sara Not Being Able To Save Her Sister Is Pitifully Lazy. The Time Master's Excuse Makes No Sense. But There Is Some Fun To Be Had With The Time Traveling Antics And Some Consequences. An Okay But Uneven Rough Opening Season B- or C+ 5.5-6/10 Maybe Worth A Watch, But No Need To Rush To See It See more Tom M @Captommo Dec 29 I wanted to like this. But the superheroes never do anything. Boring lots of characters standing around talking about nothing with nothing to do. There was more actual content in the previous sentence than the whole first episode. Waste. See more Faiz D @RT95588871 05/14/2025 Heatwave and Captain Cold are the best parts of Legends of Tomorrow, consistently. See more Laze T @Christian173 07/09/2024 I can not even lie to you when I say i have been watching this TV since september 2023 it is currently july 10 2024 and still cant comprehend that i have finished this show, I started this show before i started ranking movies and can i just say yes it has its bad season with its ups and downs the overall show us amazing, my fav is definitely season 2 but to the new cast and the old the crew is always amazing and i love the cast always makes me fall in love with the real life cast and look into them idk just love them. But can i just say thank you, what a ride, I took my time with it and its come to a end thank you legends... See more Ace T @RT50828643 05/11/2024 Even if you watch it high, it's terrible. See more Anime F @AnimeFront 03/21/2024 DC's Legends of Tomorrow was really good, we'll the first 2 seasons were good but the rest of it was a bit meh for me but I will be give this a 7/10 for the action and adventure.
