Legends

I feel that the show's overall concept and idea is brilliant! With the use of Sean Bean's exquisite acting skills and his portrayal as Martin Odum, they made it off the floor with a blast. You are not provided with too much information from the beginning, but enough to keep you satisfied and engaged to where you are not too confused.

The idea is both suspenseful and thrilling, but definitely could be a little less serious. Some humor here and there would provide a lot more to the show's overall authenticity. The constant dark suspenseful mentality of the this action-packed TV show for the majority of the time can be a little too much for some viewers.

But if you're looking for a concept that is fresh, fun, and exciting, I highly recommend this.

Last year people were hyped about Blacklist. It was an FBI series with secrets, plot-twists etc etc. And it was a pretty good series too.

Then, in 2014 we get Legends. Oh boy does it make Blacklist look petty in comparison. Legends follows Sean Bean as an FBI agent who works in the Undercover Department, incarnating "Legends" (the fake identities agents make up for their missions). However, Martin (Sean Bean) starts to question his identity, as someone claims that he isn't who he thinks, and that Martin Odoum is just another Legend.

The story is intriguing on its own, and Sean Bean's acting is simply over the top. The way he is able to incarnate each and every Legend is absolutely amazing. Besides Sean Bean, the plot is really interesting and it gets better with each and every episode. Every week I'm hook in front of my TV set, dwelling further and further into the mystery.

A 2014 must watch, don't miss out on this one!

"Legends" is the story of a man, Martin Odom (Sean Bean) who goes undercover for the FBI's Division of Covert Operations, a division that investigates terrorism. To go undercover, he takes on a "legend," which is a completely new character.

Martin is considered one of the best in the business, but his intensity and complete commitment to his legend has an effect on his personal life. He finds it difficult to come out of these legends, and it seems to have ruined his marriage. He's now divorced with a young boy.

Because he's considered psychologically unstable, his overseer, Crystal (Ali Larter) doesn't quite trust him, but the man above her (Steve Harris) has no problem sending him out on assignments.

As the first year of the series continues, we find out that Martin Odom may be a legend himself -- there is missing time in his life, after he was supposedly in a car accident. However, clues have surfaced that he was actually part of a covert mission in Afghanistan. So Martin starts trying to find out who he is and whether or not his ex-wife was involved in the cover-up of that part of his life.

Since the story has become more personal for Martin, the episodes have become more interesting. Sean Bean is a strong actor and excellent in the role. He provides a great anchor.

This is a dark show that sometimes can be a little confusing, but I found myself tuning in week after week. I like it.

I have seen a lot of reviews on here. I agree with most people Season 1 was just OK. Sean Bean was fantastic but the acting for the rest of the cast was horrific.

Decided to give Season 2 a shot. I couldn't stop watching. It was 100 times better than Season 1. I find it funny all these people on here complaining about the time jumps and that there is words on the bottom of the screen. What do you people have minds of 5 year olds? Stop what you are doing and watch the show. It's not hard to follow as long as you aren't an idiot. The acting is great. Story line was pretty solid too. I think the problem they had was Season 1 was so bad that Season 2 never had a chance. If they started the show with Season 2 instead they might have had a hit. I like how Season 2 ended. It gave closure in case it did get canceled. I was worried they wouldn't tie everything up but they did. I highly recommend this show unless you are like these other 2 year olds that wrote these reviews and can't follow a basic story line.

This show will probably be cancelled (hopefully not), because many good shows these days do not get renewed (I'm still not over Jericho).

As a huge fan of Sean Bean, his acting does not disappoint. IMO, from his performance in the pilot episode as Lincoln Dittmann, I feel like he deserves a Primetime Emmy nomination for Lead Actor for this show (especially after being snubbed for Game Of Thrones). 4 Episodes in and I cannot wait to see what Bean can pull off.

Aside from the lead, I am probably in the minority but the supporting cast is excellent. I love Ali Larter and I think she and Bean have tremendous chemistry. Steve Harris is really great, same with Morris Chestnut. I cannot wait to see these characters flesh out some more as the episodes air.

Here is hoping for a second season!
