Martin Odum (Sean Bean) is a skilled undercover agent working for the FBI. He has had many "Legends" but unbeknown to him, his life with his ex (Amber Valletta) and son may be another Legend. The squad has Tony Rice (Morris Chestnut), Crystal McGuire (Ali Larter), techie Maggie Harris (Tina Majorino) and led by Nelson Gates (Steve Harris). The first season is part procedural and part serial of him trying to uncover his past. It's a bit muddled. It's a bit confused. I thought it eventually worked out the procedural and maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Then the show is completely retooled for season 2 with mostly a new cast. Martin goes to London to uncover his lost past. Kate Crawford is part of his past and her daughter is falling into radical Islamic hands. He is hunted by the FBI. The show has constant flashbacks to various parts of his life especially around 2001 in The Czech Republic as Russian mobster Dmitry Petrovich. It's daring to completely change the show or maybe it was a Hail Mary. I appreciate the attempt. It's both good and bad.
I like the edgy, more real story. I like the daughter's journey and Martin's search. I like some of Martin's flashbacks. I like him as a little kid in the boarding school and I love him as a Mormon. On the minus side, I hated the Prague flashbacks. I couldn't care less about them and the fact it devour so much time is tiresome. The first season is a 6 and the second is a little better but still a 6.
