What to Know

Critics Consensus

Guest director Joe Dante of Gremlins fame adds some welcome visual pizzaz to "Night of the Hawk," but even he can't quite cover some of the more glaring narrative convolutions.

4/5
"Night of the Hawk" accomplishes great storytelling that left me surprised and excited at each turn. Eight episodes in, it seems like Legends of Tomorrow has finally found its groove. Go to Full Review Shirley Li Entertainment Weekly 07/27/2018
It's like 11.22.63 but on, say, LSD! Go to Full Review Oliver Sava AV Club 07/27/2018

Joe Dante of Gremlins fame is a great pick for this episode, and he smoothly transitions from fantasy horror to comic banter to dramatic character moments over the course of the episode. Go to Full Review Noel Kirkpatrick TV.com 07/30/2018
Obviously the answer is for at least eight more episodes, but, man, I'd like things to really have a stronger sense of direction. Go to Full Review Alice Walker Screen Rant 07/27/2018
