Legacies

Started out an enjoyable watch with some interesting stories. Eventually it morphs into a clone of every other teen magic show - pretty people and some CGI are not enough. Watched most of season one, but would rather lose a limb than endure more.

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,...)

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 !

I'm honestly very disappointed in this show. I was expecting it to be like The Originals, instead they made it all childish and for kids. The plot is very confusing and there's new characters each epsiode. They dont even give the characters a real personality they just toss them aside. Not to mention how Hope, the most powerful person ever, is portrayed so weak. The villains are childish monsters. I really hope season 3 is better because I'm really disappointed.
