Legacies

Started out an enjoyable watch with some interesting stories. Eventually it morphs into a clone of every other teen magic show - pretty people and some CGI are not enough. Watched most of season one, but would rather lose a limb than endure more.

Im sure anyone who loved the Originals was eager to check out its spinoff, but this does Not carry on the Legacy, pun intended...The Originals was intense, adult, and superbly acted whereas the the spinoff comes across as a typical teen agnst,soapy,Harry potter meets xaviers school from xmen kind of vib..It is full of siliness, fantasy, monster of the week nonsense withe the shallowest of storylines and poor acting from the young ones...Granted,they Are kids, but THIS kid, Hope, could have been the center around which a serious,dark themed layered story could have been written... she has a dark past, dark parents and scarey levels of power that could be tapped in her and stories built around her dealing with the Legacy that her parents left her with..THATS what id like to see! Not this kidsy ,silly monster, harry potter themed stuff...im still watching becuz i love Anything with vampire,werewolf,mutant, witches or superpowered beings ,but this show needs to shift gears into seriousness, touch upon Hopes dark side, and make the show more about That ,otherwise its going down the toilet after 1 season..

Am getting sick and bored of the repetitive disappearance of London and Hope going to find. Hope was waay awesome in The Originals. Her hybrid potential is getting wasted in this Legacies. They are running out of ideas for the show. Think eventually the show will be canceled. Legacies is a disgrace to The Originals & Vampire Diaries.

Legacies isn't horrible but it's definitely for a younger audience. You might as well deal with the pain once you finish TVD and TO and move on rather than cling to this last ounce of hope (haha). This show had so much more potential that was pretty much ignored. It adds in tons of mythical creatures which could've been interesting only they made it so immature. It's honestly as if the writer became a middle schooler over night. Another thing is the acting. I'm sorry but other than (Obviously Rick) Josie, Lizzie, Landon, and Hope (who can be a stretch most times) , the actors and actresses either have little talent or are not given the platform to properly present their talent. I think we all had high expectations to which few were met. I'm so disappointed to be saying this and truly wish it were different, but don't waste your time unless you have nothing else to do.

I'm honestly very disappointed in this show. I was expecting it to be like The Originals, instead they made it all childish and for kids. The plot is very confusing and there's new characters each epsiode. They dont even give the characters a real personality they just toss them aside. Not to mention how Hope, the most powerful person ever, is portrayed so weak. The villains are childish monsters. I really hope season 3 is better because I'm really disappointed.
