Ok, I get why there are so many negative comments... but hear me out because it's not a bad show. Your expectations will make you think that it is though.

The show started out as a superhero show with a team up of B-grade heroes. It was a self-satiric loose comedy in its core, with a few serious figures and storylines to contrast that. As the seasons went on, it leaned more and more on its comical aspects and ditched the "heavier" storylines all together. The stiff characters either departed or were loosened up by the writers. The identity of the show was actively explored season by season, you can tell as a viewer. It ended up being a fun and very relaxed space-time superhero show. In every story the Legends screw up the timeline with the best of intentions at heart, but always manage to patch it up somehow in the end and move on to the next adventure to "fix" the timeline.

Is that a bad thing? Well, yes and no. I like it because it's a chill show, I can just turn off my brain and enjoy it while eating a meal. It has very good vibes and not much brain power needed to enjoy it. It's just good for a show in this genre. The bad thing is that it's not very cohesive as a whole. As stated before, it constantly changes from season to season. Casting departures and new arrivals are always happening, plus the self-exploration journeys the show took were just too many. To be fair, they worked, it never dips hard like the Arrow. But still, it's not very consistent from season to season, apart from the last few ones that landed on that clear comedic identity.

That issue alone keeps me from referring it to others, I imagine it would be weird to binge watch it. Does that make it a bad show though? I don't believe so. Adjust your expectations for the genre you're going to watch and you'll have a great time with the Legends! Is it a great show? Nope. It's not supposed to be.
