Legends

I thought this show was really well written and cast with great plots. I have seen two episodes now and was very impressed. The show really keeps you on the edge of your seat with thrills and twists. Sean Bean gives an excellent performance with his stutter and his accents. You would never believe he was a Yorkshire man, he shines in this show. I have seen him in many roles from Game of Thrones, Sharpe, Lord of the Rings and many more and this is definitely his best most talented acting performance. He should get more gritty roles like this one. It was nice to see some of the Big Love cast in Legends too who are very talented. I really hope they do a second season as this is a great series.

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.

Fan favorite Sean Bean is back on the small screen in the latest TNT series, Legends. The series, based on the novel by Robert Littell, follows a deep cover agent embedded in dangerous situations, working in the interest of national security.

Through the course of the episode, the audience follows Bean's character through his undercover work and discovers the struggles he faces in his home life. All of this pales in comparison to the greater story when Bean's character is confronted and told he is not who he thinks he is; the life he believes is his is just a legend - a fictional character history created for the purpose of undercover operations.

The concept is intriguing and the pilot episode is well balanced. Although, more action sequences would have been welcome. The supporting cast, which includes Ali Larter, Steve Harris and Tina Majorino, among others, is impressive. Bean's acting prowess is the real reason to tune it. One scene in particular has Bean shifting into a different character in front of the other characters and the transformation is a highlight of the episode.

If the rest of the series follows the formula of the pilot episode, audiences can expect a new threat every week, as well as an opportunity for Bean's acting skills to shine as he transforms into a new character every week.
