What to Know

Critics Consensus

This stranger than fiction true story packs too modest a punch to hit its intended mark, but as a showcase for John Hawkes, The Legend of Master Legends nearly lives up to its namesake.

Stephen C @bob25009 Sep 16, 2025 1 funny mini-series episode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ages 17 and older!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Apr 25, 2020 I met the real Master Legend at mega con in Orlando once several years ago and he seemed really cool to me. The show seems to portray him in a different light. The show was totally worth watching and I'd encourage you to check it out, I thought it would be picked up. Too bad , I would've watched the show. See more Read all reviews
