Movies and TV TNT: Legends

keg in kc · 08-12-2014, 03:37 PM

Premieres tomorrow night at 9/8c.

If you haven't seen the 8 billion commercials that have run during The Last Ship and Falling Skies (and whatever else plays on TNT) it's a Sean Bean spy drama where he's an FBI agent who spends a lot of time undercover (his different identities are called Legends). Early reviews seem to be mixed positive, nothing glowing, but nothing particularly bad. Although they play up the action in the ads it's apparently more cerebral (at least in the eps reviewers have seen) and sounds a bit like a less violent Bourne series. Blacklist-lite, maybe.

Thanks for the reminder. I had forgotten to set my DVR.

Looks like it is worth a look anyway.

Damn, forgot to record this. How was the pilot?

Show won't last long after they kill off Bean.

Thought it was pretty good. Enough to keep watching another week. Nothing earth-shattering, but it's TNT. Kind of like watching CBS; you know what you're going to get.

I guess I can understand that. It's like your favorite fast food.
