Legends (TV Series)

"He may not even know his real identity, which is what makes him so good at taking on imaginary aliases. From there, the show seems a bit predictably structured, but Bean lends a strong and complex presence to the idea." 

"It's all a fairly standard spy-thriller template, but the cast and crew give 'Legends' an edge. Trust Howard Gordon ('Homeland', '24') and company to devise a well-plotted mystery." 

"'Legends' goes a bit beyond the expected stings, as a shadowy figure prompts Martin to doubt everything he knows and question whom he can trust. For the most part, though, almost everything here feels culled from earlier variations on this theme." 

"It's a shame that 'Legends' (and TNT) weren't a bit more ambitious with the show. The pilot is splashy and action-packed, but overall the lack of complexity (...) makes it less satisfying." 

"Presumably 'Legends' is meant to seem more serious than those shows ['Rizzoli & Isles' and 'Major Crimes'] and skew more male in its viewership, but it succeeds only in being more mechanical, predictable and thin."
