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 interesting shows not given a chance and then they keep the crappy ones!
I’m really unhappy that it was cancelled.
I’m not happy the series was cancelled.
I caught up on the 2 seasons and am so disappointed to see the series was cancelled. Please please bring it back.
I really liked Legends. I hate to see it cancelled. Great Actors as well as great scripts.
Live the show! Just completed a marathon viewing of it. Sad to hear it is cancelled – as most of the best ones are after just a season or two.
Netflix, come on guys! Pick Legends up!! If, of course, you have the guts to do it.
I first followed this show on Netflix and was thrilled to find a new season on tnt. This was a great fit for Sean Bean. I love this show and kept wondering when the new season would start. I just found out it had been cancelled and I just don’t get it. There were so many avenues this show could take. It’s frustrating for a viewer to enjoy a well scripted and acted show, just to see it get canned. I am watching more shows on Netflix, Acorn, and Amazon because I can find good shows there and not get… Read more »
Another one bites the dust. I’m sick of the only shows I want to watch being cancelled. Hope Netflix picks this one up, at least the 2nd season. I refuse to pay for cable or satellite just for this reason. They ditch anything worth watching. Legends should not have been cancelled and it should have been turned over to Netflix as soon as the season ends. Even the Legends website viewing required an account with a tv provider. SCREW EM!!
there are places on the net that you can find it free. You just to use an ad blocker or you will never get it to play.
When I consider the crap and absolute drivel with which the networks continue to flood our lives and yet choose to cancel such thought provoking programming as Legends, I may choose to cancel the season for commercial networks. DON’T KILL SEAN BEAN!
Do Not Cancel! It Was Way Too Good!
Should not cancel the series. The story-line is intriguing and the scenes throughout Europe are informative to US citizens who have not seen much of Europe.
Should continue with more seasons. Great show.!!
Please bring this show back! I cannot believe it was cancelled. Compelling plot, great acting and quality. It deserves a 3rd season!
I am disappointed that this show has been canceled. I think there was a lot of potential in this particular story.
