DC's Legends Of Tomorrow Season 2: 6 Ups And 4 Downs From 'Out Of Time'

1. Repetitive

Much has been made about how Season 2 of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow was going to feel like a reboot of sorts for the show, and that indeed proved to be the case.

Whilst that’s all well and great for newcomers to the series – meaning that you can just dive in afresh with Season 2 regardless of having seen the show’s debut season – it means that there’s a sense of ‘seen it all before’ for those of us who stuck with Legends of Tomorrow through its first year.

With the concept of Legends as a show, it’s almost a double-edged sword. On the plus side, the show has literally the entire depths of history itself to mine from, not to mention having the option to explore the mysteries of the future. On the negative side, though, so often Legends feels to follow too much of a similar beat in each episode: land at a place in time, throw in a McGuffin, save the day, zoom off to another time period.

Similarity and repetitiveness is something that many shows of this nature can be accused of, but the key is in still bringing some freshness to the table. With Out of Time, however, there was far too much of a ‘been there, seen it’ vibe to how the episode was handled for the most part.

So, what did you enjoy or not about Legends of Tomorrow's season premiere? Let us know in the comments section below.
