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?
One of the few series on TV worth watching. Plus Sean Bean is a greater actor & creates a great characters. I think some of these TV series need better promotion and advertisement so more people will know about them. I accidently found this one by flipping through the channels.
My husband and I love this show so much and looked forward to watching each week. Please bring it back!!!!!!
I love this show!! I don’t know of one that I like better. I hope it is not cancelled. I want more!!!!!!! Please don’t cancel!! My husband agrees with me, and some friends too!
Legends, should have been renewed. I believe Martin has a great more stories to tell. Sean Bean was amazing in this role, and he should be allowed to continue. Big mistake in cancelling Legends !!
Cannot believe they cancelled this series, This show was awesome!!!!
Sean Vean acted brilliantly, i am waiting for season 3 if not TNT. Pls can some other try this show
I can’t believe this show is canceled. I found this show on netflix. I hope another network picks it up. The show is great. I love Sean’s ability to transform and was excited to see future developments. There goes another great show that will be replaced by these senseless reality shows.
This was a well written and certainly brilliantly acted! Maybe people had to actually think to follow this multilayered script ….. Is it possible that another network will pick this up?
I loved season 1. Sean Vean’s ability to transform himself on screen into whatever persona was a true pleasure. What an amazing actor! The rest of the cast were well written and enjoyable. Th season seemed nicely balanced between hard crime, love, a lighter tough in the office scenes. Season 2, however, was just dark. I miss the original cast and the overall vision. Instead of a team, Martin is out there with fairly unrelenting loneliness, desperation, ugly (personality-wise) characters with vile actions/agendas. No relief anywhere. The whole concept of him going undercover and heading off the really bad guys… Read more »
Whenever a show requires someone to think, they cancel it!!!!
I am a major fan of the show. I feel a disappontment that I feel all too often when revered and enjoyable series are cancelled. Remember, My So-Called Life; Freaks and Geeks, etc.. Legends was quite unique in that it was thought provoking and very action filled plus I’m a fan of Sean Bean. Sadly, I am now resigned to never expecting anything of value to last very long on TV which is bound by sponsors support.
TNT has repeatedly given us great shows and just when we are fully invested, the shows are canceled. Iam sure their viewership is at the lowest of all networks. Legends is great! I truly hope one of the streaming sites pick it up. NETFLIX, HULU, ect. I just purchased the amazon fire stick for just this reason.
Cannot believe they cancelled this series, Typical!! This is why network television is dying. They throw out the good and keep mind-melting garbage.
Bring Back!!!!!!!
That is just typical American programing ending a exhalent program getting rid of Sean sharpey bean when they keep other poorer programes.
Very disappointed.
sucks it was cancelled why just why
