Legacies

Im sure anyone who loved the Originals was eager to check out its spinoff, but this does Not carry on the Legacy, pun intended...The Originals was intense, adult, and superbly acted whereas the the spinoff comes across as a typical teen agnst,soapy,Harry potter meets xaviers school from xmen kind of vib..It is full of siliness, fantasy, monster of the week nonsense withe the shallowest of storylines and poor acting from the young ones...Granted,they Are kids, but THIS kid, Hope, could have been the center around which a serious,dark themed layered story could have been written... she has a dark past, dark parents and scarey levels of power that could be tapped in her and stories built around her dealing with the Legacy that her parents left her with..THATS what id like to see! Not this kidsy ,silly monster, harry potter themed stuff...im still watching becuz i love Anything with vampire,werewolf,mutant, witches or superpowered beings ,but this show needs to shift gears into seriousness, touch upon Hopes dark side, and make the show more about That ,otherwise its going down the toilet after 1 season..

It's not that bad ! They're targeting a different audience with a younger generation of vampires, wolves and newer creatures, but didn't Vampire Diaries also start with Elena, Caroline and Bonnie as teenagers? The show is gripping with some sort of okay acting and new mythical challenges everyday.

Don't compare it to the dark nature of the originals, which was a different ball game altogether. But this show on its own, is pretty entertaining to watch !

The first season itself does no justice to the previous series ( TVD an TO) Too much of Hope and Landon drama ( which is clearly not required) Way to many plots and twists, overaged actors for underage characters (Lizze, Kaleb,...)

Am getting sick and bored of the repetitive disappearance of London and Hope going to find. Hope was waay awesome in The Originals. Her hybrid potential is getting wasted in this Legacies. They are running out of ideas for the show. Think eventually the show will be canceled. Legacies is a disgrace to The Originals & Vampire Diaries.

Honestly it's not that bad. I've seen far worse. For those who are annoyed about it 'expanding the universe' it's really no different to what Fantastic Beasts has done for Harry Potter. I find it watchable enough and will continue to give it a go. Don't let other reviews make up your mind for you. Give it a go and see what you think.
