The show follows Rip Hunter as he travels back in time to the present day where he recruits a rag-tag team of heroes and villains in an attempt to prevent Vandal Savage from destroying the world and time itself.
The prospect of jumping from era to era to stop Savage holds promise, but there isn't enough interplay between the characters to add any dimension to the early episodes. If only they could go back in time two hours and make a different show.
By the final two episodes, and Legends Of Tomorrow finally seems to have found its feet. It may have taken a while to get there, but now there's the sense that it knows what it is and what it has the potential to be.
I found Legends, in which time traveler Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) unites various heroes to stop the future destruction of humanity, surprisingly engaging.
Legends of Tomorrow certainly did have a lot of potential, but with so many problems in its foundation, it comes as no surprise that the show isn't able to maintain interest even for its short 16-episode premiere season.
While I think the show is pretty obviously a vehicle for Miller and Garber, the cast is strong enough that most anyone could steal a scene, and I think that alone may be worth the price of admission.
There are other moments where you recognize you're watching something that wants to be a cross between Doctor Who and Guardians of the Galaxy. Even if it never gets close to fulfilling that destiny, I'm sticking around to watch it try.
