The Legacies Season 3 premiere was never intended as a season opener, but it sure does work as one. Go to Full Review
Cade Taylor Tell-Tale TV 01/25/2021
4.5/5
Overall I think that the episode is an alright intro to the season as it establishes all of our main characters and where they're currently at. However, I hope that the execution of the storylines progresses and begin to feel less child-like. Go to Full Review

Rowan C @RowanC3 11/30/2024 I think this season is just as good as the previous 2 seasons with some things better and worse. I did feel that this season was dragged on a bit much, but it was very cool to see Hope become a vampire. Rafael was sadly taken away from us in the beginning of this season, but returned for a short cameo in late season 3. I knew right when Hope killed Landon that she would flip her humanity switch off, and that is exactly what she did. As she was walking away after killing Landon, her face totally went blank with no emotion. The monsters are always pretty cool in this show and it has been on the same level throughout the whole show. Overall, still an entertaining season and I am very excited on how no humanity Hope is going to look like in season 4.

See more 11/20/2021 Still entertaining but the final 5/6 Episodes do drag on somewhat and repeat many romantic troupes it's used already earlier in its character development. Hopefully these more mundane final episodes might serve as fodder for a sprawling set of new relationships and new adventures in the fourth season. See more jon c 06/25/2021 Season 2 of ‘Legacies' ended quite quickly but with some resolutions and developments Hope saved Josie from the dark magic she unleashed inside of her The Necromancer absorbed it but Hope remained unconscious Malivore plans to use Landon to use the power of the Phoenix to ascend But as long as Landon stays dead he'll stay in the pit Season 3 opens with the students reeling from the aftermath Josie left in her wake being consumed by dark magic, Landon's spirit shows up with the Necromancer, more monsters show up from the pit, and Hope remains out of commission When she does come back she and Landon are not in the same place they were before but they slowly work their way back There's a special episode that is a straight up musical recounting the early days of the Salvatore School being founded with all the students playing many of the characters from the previous shows including Elena, Stefan, Damon, Caroline etc. Another episode is a throwback to 1980s slasher movies Josie wants to lead a normal life free of magic so she's thinking about transferring to Mystic Falls High She develops a crush on a new girl who actually holds a dark secret The Salvatore School seems to be losing all of its attending students due to their parents fearing for their lives so Alaric, Hope and the others do what they can to keep it running It's hard for everyone to trust Hope yet there's still room for her to improve if she can just see Lizzie's point of view A new witch named Cleo enrolls and there might be something special about her which Malivore wants Being worthy is one thing, being a champion is another, change is a series of small moments building upon one another, many shapes of history are never recognized for their achievements The finale leads to the craziest episode reminiscent of ‘Star Wars' with Hope and the others living out re-enacted scenes as colorful people but also unlocking a part of their past Hope may have to face the fact that her destiny is sealed since birth, it might require her to actually become the tribrid in order to defeat Malivore The writing's definitely better this time around with crazier monsters, horrific story turns, and the characters learning to better themselves by not hurting each other repeatedly We now see where they're currently at in the stages of their lives; it's hard but they have to continue fighting The finale really should've been bigger in my opinion and it ends very abruptly But I'm praying Season 4 can go much bigger with its ideas with Hope, Josie, Lizzie, Alaric, Landon, and the others continuing to grow while also fighting the ultimate evil Fingers crossed for future stories of these supernatural youngsters See more 06/18/2021 After almost 50 episodes you still get the same plot every week, New monster lets kill it, with absolutely zero sense of danger for the characters. If you really like the vampire diaries or the originals you will hate this show. With such great material Its shocking how it's so incredibly boring, cheesy and no sense of direction. See more 04/27/2021 I honestly think this is the best season yet. Hot take, I like seeing the other high school, and Hope's personality this season reminds me of Klaus because she's willing to do anything for what she loves.
