Ranking Every 2017 Comic Book TV Show Worst To Best

16. Legends Of Tomorrow

CW

Legends of Tomorrow may have lacked the bang to kickstart the year, but the show found renewal (literally and thematically speaking) with a third season, which premiered in October.

Eschewing the sombre and morose tone that had dampened its earlier seasons, this latest incarnation of the Legends is every bit as fun and as exciting as a show called 'DC's Legends of Tomorrow' should be. Caity Lotz is fantastic in the role of Sara Lance - a character that has more than earned her place in the wider Arrow lore - and the series' premise is too fun not to love.

The Arrowverse has faltered in recent years, and yes, Legends doesn't necessarily have the budget to articulate its vision the way it wants, but it is fun, and a bright spot in an increasingly temperamental block of CW DC programming.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
