DC's Legends of Tomorrow: Season 1 Review

DC's Legends of Tomorrow: Season 1 Review

Being the spin-off show of Arrow and The Flash, a time traveller, Rip Hunter, beams down from his spaceship, the Wave-Rider, saving to some low-level villains and heroes that he needs their help and in return they will be remembered as legends. Needing the help of Hawkman, Hawkgirl, White Canary, Captain Cold, Heatwave, Atom and both parts of Firestorm. As they travel through space and time, the team gets to grip that they were not chosen to become heroes, more like they gave very little to the timeline, with the actually plan being to save Rip Hunter's family from the ruthless, immortal villain of Vandal Savage. The team is thinned out multiple times via some members either dying or being brainwashed, a small love triangle between Hawkgirl, Atom and Hawkman and funny reference to pop culture as they are on their travels.

This was a great spin-off season, with the ending leading us on to the next season later in the year. Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) previous playing Doctor Who companion Rory the Roman - his backstory and acting where gripping and heart-warming. Prof. Stein (Victor Garber) previously in Titanic, he was one half of Firestorm and his funny nerdy character perfectly acted out. Jefferson Jackson (Franz Drameh) being in Attack the Block and Edge of Tomorrow, both minor roles, this was his first big role, being the other half of Firestorm, his character was really well played off. Sara Lance (Caity Lotz) being a small time address, I really loved her character and her story within this series. Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh) playing Superman in Superman Returns, everyone is entitled to a second chance, I thought Brandon suited the role of Atom much better. Kendra Saunders (Ciara Renee) mostly being in the theatre, Ciara's character of Hawkgirl was really well acted out. Carter Hall (Falk Hentschel) only been in a couple of things, but was good in this series, being a little too soft for Hawkman, but good non the less. Mick Rory (Dominic Purcell) & Leonard Snart (Wentworth Miller) both being in the hit series Prison Break, where a great double act throughout the series, with Dominic being my favourite character in the whole season. Just hands down a great series.

Overall: Great spin-off series, can't find for Season 2. 9.5/10

Final thought: "Once a companion, now a master."
