I've been watching this and have enjoyed it mostly. the first 3 episodes were very good. thought that the 4th one was completely unbelievable though - it went a step too far imo. the part
about where Bean as Dante, takes down the FBI on the way to the jet in LA and poaches the colonel couldnot have been believable to the colonel imo
. Unfortunately I do think that the plot does matter in these sorts of shows with a modern day city setting whereas in sci-fi it's not so important and these sort of crappy unbelievable situations undermine the whole thing - imo anyway.

It wasn't that undeliverable, Dante is a world renowned arms dealer with ties to a number of international organisations so it's not to hard to believe that he could muster up his own personal army.

well each to it's own but to me it was. being able to get the info on inside FBI movements at short notice and organise a perfect takedown and escape on the FBI home patch was just complete rubbish.

but episode 5 was pretty good! just no more faux pas hopefully.

18-09-2014 7:43pm

episode 6 not bad either.

Only started watching yesterday, about to watch episode 5 now, enjoying it so far. A healthy love of Sean Bean is the main reason I started watching this show but the drama isn't bad at all really and its pretty interesting. Bean is good

Episode 8 is really starting to open up angles; esp. the ending has me thinking that there may be a lot more information coming on what happened in

Iraq

seeing the reaction of the

kidnappers

.

just watched episode nine. Ridiculous stuff really - but Bean holds it up somewhat. And the blonde FBI agent (Ali Larter) is great to look at.

Was it renewed?

No word yet, initial ratings were great but they dipped considerably though reviews have been good and it's sold around the world. It's also relatively inexpensive to produce and as such a renewal is a 50/50 at this stage. Hopefully it gets picked up as the creator has a plan for 7 series of 10 episodes apiece which is perfect for this time of year.

kryogen · 10-10-2014 12:01am

I think so, Bean is as always very watchable, the plot is a bit mad but sure nothing more off the wall then some of the stuff from 24 or shows like that in the past so can deal with it.

Looking forward to the conclusion, I felt as an episode 9 was poor actually, trying to advance the story too much in too little time, the ending in particular I felt was weak.

I love Bean though and if played right the conspiracy angle could be very interesting. Roll on next week!

Edit: Should also point out, its less expensive to make then some of the other shows and outperformed Franklin and Bash but it is failing in the key demographic market.

I hope it gets picked up and would say its about a 70/30 shot right now due to the decent numbers overall, pretty good reviews and an interesting plot that has so many possibilities and naturally, its cheap!

There is no next week, they aired the final two episodes back to back.

Ah, not always a great sign that, so the episode should be up to download then, edit: thanks for that Ill be watching in approx 5 minutes

Mr E · 10-10-2014 5:10am

Nah, they just wanted to make the finale an event.

Good ending. Answered most questions about Martins history, and set up a massive conspiracy for season 2. If the show ended now, I wouldn't be too broken hearted, but I hope it comes back.

kryogen · 10-10-2014 10:38am

Thoroughly enjoyed the ending, hope this gets renewed

I don't think he dies, but it's ok
bit weird

10-10-2014 2:56pm

Don't see this making the 7 seasons like the poster above said the creator had planned. Too many mad escapes and inept so called elite baddies who get shot up too easily and who can be beaten up 5 at a time by 1 guy (who has been tortured for a day). 24 got away with it because it was gritty and ground-breaking at the time and 24 had the 24 hour mechanism as well (not here obviously) but it all seems samey at this point. Watchable for Bean but nothing special.

kearneybobs · 11-10-2014 5:30pm

Really enjoyed the first episode. Certainly gonna give this a go of it.

sioda · 04-12-2014 9:44pm

Just after seeing trailer now. They have completely re-imagined the show. Can't wait to watch it and can't even remember what happened at the end of last season.
Here is the press release

This fall TNT's spy thriller Legends is back with ten new episodes, but viewers who watched season one will hardly recognize what they’re seeing. The show has been completely re-imagined, with a new supporting cast, exotic locations, and a whole new approach to storytelling. Sean Bean (Game of Thrones, The Lord of the Rings) returns as a covert operative whose world is turned upside down when he discovers that everything he thought he knew about his life has been a lie. In addition to Bean, the new season stars Winter Ave Zoli (Sons of Anarchy), Steve Kazee (Shameless), Aisling Franciosi (The Fall), Kelly Overton (True Blood), Klara Issova (Crossing Lines) and Ralph Brown (Agent Carter). In addition, Morris Chestnut (Nurse Jackie, Rosewood) will guest-star in several episodes, reprising his role from season one.

Shot on location throughout Europe, including Prague and London, the new season of Legends is slated to launch on TNT Monday, Nov. 2, at 10 p.m. (ET/PT). As with all TNT original series, episodes will be made available across the network's on-demand, digital and mobile platforms the day after their linear premieres. In addition, TNT will stack the entire season of Legends, meaning episodes will remain available on demand throughout the entire season.

As the new season of Legends opens, Martin Odum (Sean Bean) is hunting for his true identity while on the run for a murder he didn't commit. He’s had many undercover personas – legends – but which one is he really? FBI Agent Martin Odum? Wounded Iraq vet John Cameron? Or Russian gangster Dmitry Petrovich? Maybe he’s not really any of those people. His search for answers takes him across Europe, as he discovers his past holds dark and violent secrets he may wish he never uncovered.

Odum is aided in his search by CIA Agent Nina Brenner (Kelly Overton), and FBI Agent Tony Rice (Morris Chestnut). With their help, Martin is led to Ilyana Crawford (Klara Issova), a woman who may be linked to his past, and her troubled teenage daughter, Kate (Aisling Franciosi). He also discovers he’s connected to a retired spy named Terrence Graves (Ralph Brown). As Martin tries to piece together the puzzle of his forgotten identity, his present and past begin to collide. He discovers that while the present day FBI is on his trail for a crime he didn’t commit, fourteen years ago they were chasing him for entirely different reasons. The 2001 investigation was led with dogged determination by FBI agent Curtis Ballard (Steve Kazee) and his Czech Police partner, Gabrielle Miskova (Winter Ave Zoli). Can Odum figure out the answers he needs to clear his name before his past catches up to him?

Fantastic opening episode to season 2.

Big change up in tone and style and there is a great story being told.

SoftMicro · 25-10-2015 10:48am

I didn't read the press release above about it being revamped so completely took me by surprise.

Have to say that was absolute class. It is a completely new show. Very intrigued to see how this season pans out.

Ali Larter was lovely to look at but her character in the show wasn't up to much.

Agent Coulson · 03-11-2015 9:56pm

Season 2 started officially last night stateside.

11-11-2015 9:11am

Getting a very 24 vibe from parts of that opening episode. I enjoyed it but really feels like it jumped around the place too much too fast. 2nd one is out so I really should have waited and watched both back to back I think.

Mr E · 11-11-2015 9:42am

I didn't really like the first episode. It was all over the place. It is tonally different to season 1 too (and not in a good way). I'll give it another few and see how it goes.
