Tom's Guide Verdict: "Legends"
- Rating: ★★★★ stars
- Verdict: "Legends" doesn't break the mold for the British crime thriller series; it fits inside it perfectly. Just six episodes, it gives you exactly the information you need and nothing more, and it leaves nothing unresolved. Aside from one plot point that feels too "Hollywood," this crime show (which could easily be dubbed a spy thriller instead) is enjoyable and satisfyingly addictive.
- Premiere date/time: All episodes streaming now
- Where to watch: Stream all 6 episodes on Netflix
When I first saw the trailer for "Legends," I was sold right away. For those of you who don't know me, I am nothing if not a fan of a crime thriller or spy thriller. Especially if it's a British one. I'm not one to shy away from extolling the virtues of "Slow Horses," "Broadchurch" or the first season of "The Night Manager." They tell compact, well-plotted stories that resolve within a single season, and quite often in six episodes or less. They never overstay their welcome.
