What do you think? Do you like the Legends TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a third season?
Real shame Legends has been cancelled. Season 2 was the most engaging and interesting non-BBC series I’ve watched in a long time. Yeah, one had to pay attention to keep up with the shifts in time period and location, but that was part of its appeal for me. The writers didn’t under-estimate the intelligence of viewers. On second thought: No wonder it got cancelled.
Just found this show and watched the entire first season in one night and loved it! Have just started season 2 but very disappointed to learn the show has now been cancelled as was looking forward to something new and different to watch.
And dreck like Blindspot has a huge audience and gets renewed! Most people are mindless sheep and don’t want to strain themselves when watching tv. SAD
a show for people with a brain.Bring it back!!
I was upset to hear this smart intelligent show was cancelled. OK maybe it does not attract the simpletons out there that may have more #’s behind them. Finally you get a show that is smart with action and mystery behind it. I was always left asking for more.
So I will ask ‘More please”. Bring this show back!
Legends is one of the best shows I have seen in a long time.Its a very exciting show the acting from all the cast is really good it deserves to be renewed.
Exciting show I think it deserves to be renewed good acting from all the cast.Its one of the best shows I have seen in a long time.
Nooooo, please somebody pick this show up and renew!! Great acting great story great show!!!
Not a big fan of spy thrillers, but there was definitely something different about this.. watched both seasons religiously and loved it. really wish they they would continue
Great show…sorry to see it go! TV is soooo competitive!!!
No, no, no I love this show. Tired of all the ‘same’ shows on tv. Please give us another season,,,,what happened to his American family? How does his son play into the story? Please!
Great show. Sorry to see it end.
Don’t cancel this great show!
I was very disappointed in the season finale of Legends last night and how it ended. Boy TNT, when you cancelled great shows you really leave us hanging with the endings. Why couldn’t it have been a happier ending for Martin, just like the lousy ending for John on Agent X? Please bring them back.
Legends Tyrant and Homeland are the best espionage shows on TV. Please renew this. Sean Bean is the new Jack Bauer
