When i wrote this review i had just watched until season 4, episode 15.
Plot A team of extraordinary misfit heroes travel through the timeline of history on a ship called the Waverider in order to set history right and help those in need. During the seasons they encounter new villains, monsters and troubles as dark minds frequently wishes to destroy and rule over the world and bring terror to all they love.
During the seasons they visit many different eras trough time and we get so see many historical locations and meet many famous characters from various points in history.
Verdict: I started watching DC's Legends of Tomorrow as a person who had heard nothing about the comic and so I knew nothing about the characters or the settings. Only character i knew from before was Black Canary who was already established in the DC Universe from the show Arrows. From the start the show was kind of odd and it felt like at the start the writers didn't really know what approach to take.
The balance between comedy and drama felt off and the show struggled to decide whether it was to take itself seriously or instead have fun with its often strange concepts and story arcs. Luckily for all the viewers the show decided late in season one and especially from season two to take the story and all strange concepts a little less serious, and instead have fun with it.
In my opinion this is what really made the show bloom and what has kept me watching it. The characters grows on the viewer during the seasons and every episode contains new great adventures and comedy moments that keeps the show highly entertaining. The two characters and actors in my opinion whom really keeps the show going is Mick (Dominic Purcell) and Sara (Caity Lotz).
But the acting overall is good and the reason for this is in my opinion the fact that the show by now knows itself and how to approach things. The show knows by now to joke about itself, and when to use comedy in the right way and in the right amount. I would say that adventure, action & comedy is the three main categories for this show so if that is your preferred categories then this is the show for you.
One of the areas where the show has really excelled and taken a modern take is on the subject of homosexuality. For i have personally never seen a sci-fi/adventure based show whom shows homosexual characters in such a natural and respecting way as this show does. Hats off to the writers and actors. The show does not promote homosexuality. But it does not fear it. It simply shows that it is a natural thing and that gay people should be respected in just the same way as straight people and that a gay relationship is simply a relationship.
DC's Legends of Tomorrow is a show filled with comedy and adventure and whom still manage to surprise here and there with its often strange but fun concepts and characters. It is the kind of show you need to watch with an open mind and just enjoy for what it aims to do, which is to entertain.
7/10
