Midway Through ‘Legends Of Tomorrow’ Season 1

The Legends of Tomorrow

The Legends of Tomorrow

Spoiler Warning DC’s Legends of Tomorrow through episode 8.

 

I’ve never made any secret of my love for comic book television, especially those shows set in the Arrow-Verse. I was ecstatic when ‘Arrow’ was given a spin-off in ‘The Flash’ and I was even more excited a year ago when I found out last year that another spin-off was in the works. That show went on to become ‘DC’s Legends of Tomorrow’ — a daring attempt at borrowing some of the supporting characters from both of its parent shows in what promised to be a time traveling epic, the likes of which we haven’t seen in a live-action comics setting before.

We have reached the half-way point of the show’s freshman season, and so far I haven’t been let down. No, it’s not perfect. What show is? But overall I’ve been really happy with this third (or is it the fourth?) installment into the Arrow-Verse. I would like to take the opportunity provided by this brief hiatus to go over some of what I think is working for the series, and some of what isn’t.
