	Author	Review
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"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."	POS
United States	Joanne Ostrow Denver Post	"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."	POS
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"'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."	NEU
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"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."	NEU
United States	Mike Hale The New York Times	"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."	NEG
