Episodes
A time-traveling rogue assembles a group of heroes and villains to prevent the world's destruction. In the opener, Time Master Rip Hunter puts together his diverse team to fight immortal villain Vandal Savage who is on the verge of destroying humanity in 2166.
The team battles Vandal Savage, and Atom's suit falls off and lands in the wrong hands. Stein realizes the best way to retrieve it is by contacting his younger self. Meanwhile, Snart and Rory plan to steal a key element in defeating Savage; and Carter helps Kendra remember something vital.
Rip decides to weaken Vandal Savage by going after his financial assets. Rip and Sara infiltrate Savage's bank, but are discovered by his men. -- (C) CW
Nuclear scientists mysteriously disappear when Vandal Savage retreats behind the Iron Curtain in the early 1980s. The team follows Vandal's trail in an effort to find his next target, while Ray bonds with a beautiful Soviet scientist. Meanwhile, Stein pushes Jax to be better, which frustrates Jax and ultimately threatens the Firestorm matrix; and Rip asks Sara to train Kendra.
Some of the Legends are captured and thrown into a Russian gulag during the height of the Cold War in 1986, so Snart leads the team in an elaborate escape plan to free their comrades. But Rip gives Sara a secret side mission that could prove fatal to the team.
A malfunction sends the Waverider crashing into 2046 Star City and the heroes face a startling version of their own future where they never stop Savage and never return home. The city is in ruins and overrun by criminals, which thrills Rory. But Sara is despondent over the destruction of her home and stunned when she learns what happened to her old friend Oliver Queen.
Rip tries to rescue a timeship stranded in space and uses the other ship's computer to track Savage. But the situation turns into a trap and the team ends up battling time pirates.
The team tracks Savage to a small town in Oregon during the 1950s where a recent string of murders has occurred and they suspect Savage is involved. Stein and Sara go undercover at a psychiatric hospital where Savage is working as a doctor to find out his plan. Meanwhile, Ray and Kendra pose as a married couple to gain the neighborhood's trust, but an interracial couple in the 1950s isn't something that goes unnoticed.
Ray, Sara and Kendra are shocked when they watch the Waverider fly off without them, leaving them stranded in the 1950s. After waiting months for their teammates to come back, the three realize they must move on with their lives. Ray and Kendra bond as a couple, but Sara decides to return to the League of Assassins and Ra's al Ghul.
Rip tells the team they are headed to the future to take out a powerful ally that Savage needs to conquer the world. But when they learn the target is a 14 year-old boy who will one day become an evil dictator, the team is split about the morality of killing a child, even if it does save the world. Meanwhile, Sara talks Snart through a rough patch; and Ray learns something that could impact his future with Kendra.

I found Legends, in which time traveler Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) unites various heroes to stop the future destruction of humanity, surprisingly engaging.
The prospect of jumping from era to era to stop Savage holds promise, but there isn't enough interplay between the characters to add any dimension to the early episodes. If only they could go back in time two hours and make a different show.
Of course, it's supposed to be like a comic book, but the clumsy dialogue and stiff acting can be a bit much to get past.
Legends simply feels too loose, too campy. The perils here don't seem as perilous as much as comical - unintentionally so.
Unlike The Flash, Arrow and Supergirl, there arguably are too many characters to service here. Add a lot of attendant gobbledygook and mostly shopworn banter.
DC's small-screen super-hero team-up is some of the most fun you're going to have this season.
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.
But once said conversations have been had, after the i's are dotted and t's crossed, the times ahead promise to be spread across the ages and a whole lotta fun.
"DC's Legends of Tomorrow," like its quirky ensemble of characters, shows great promise in living up to its grandiose title.
Like the "legends" themselves, it's got plenty of potential, but ultimately it may leave us wishing its harmful and outdated depictions of consent had been jettisoned in the past, where they belong.
Legends of Tomorrow certainly did have a lot of potential, but with so many problems in its foundation, it comes as no surprise that the show isn't able to maintain interest even for its short 16-episode premiere season.
By the final two episodes, and Legends Of Tomorrow finally seems to have found its feet. It may have taken a while to get there, but now there's the sense that it knows what it is and what it has the potential to be.

Jan 06, 2021Probably one of the best seasons that doesn't deserve the hate!
-
Dec 10, 2020Just too cool dude radical
-
Oct 19, 2020This will not go down well with many legends viewers but i really liked season 1 and the serious tone to the show (reminded me a bit of arrow) but after season 1 it became a bit of a humor show and kinda lost me
-
Aug 09, 2020Maby not the best but its alright
-
Aug 03, 2020It spends far too much time with the Hawks but the series is a blast and the cast is great.
-
Jun 02, 2020This first season of Legend's of tomorrow was very good, with a first fantastic episode the series remained good for all episodes of this season, showing the team traveling back in time to stop the villain Vandal Savage.

May 27, 2020Started a bit rough as it was trying to figure out what it was supposed to be. Decided it wasn't "Arrow" - serious and gritty - and decided it wasn't "Flash" - nice and shiny. Found its direction by season's end. A bunch of disposable outcasts that writers can be free to put in harm's way - which means stories that could be about anything, anywhere, any time, and even any genre.

Apr 15, 2020Feel free to call it my guilty pleasure, but I love Legends. They don't try to be yet another generic superhero show, and instead, embrace the total goofiness and becoming one of the funniest things on TV.

Mar 29, 2020DC's Legends of Tomorrow's first season was average. Some characters just aren't interesting Hawkgirl and Ray are both terrible they're just so bland, boring and uninteresting and that stupid love triangle got really annoying. Thankfully Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell are genius here Leonard Snart and Mick Rory save this show and the performances of these two are so good it's actually worth watching. Overall a decent series but problems that need adressing.
