So bad it's good
Unlike The Flash and The arrow, this show doesn't take itself seriously. Yes it's cheesy and the jokes aren't always the best. But that doesn't change the fact that it's enjoyable. It's Legends of Tomorrow
Fun and light-hearted
People! Give it a break! This show never fails to make me laugh! It's ridiculous, cheesy and a ton of fun. Suspend reality and enjoy the ride- this is not meant for heavy thinking, deep romances or for pondering your role in life. It's fun. The humor is the truly captivating part. You never know where or when it's going to come from, but this show is a hoot- as long as you don't take yourself too seriously. I suggest giving it a try- I think this show has earned it.
Evolving is more important than where you start
Season 1 of Legends of Tomorrow was a mixture of tones and themes that ended with somewhat of a bad taste in the viewer's mouth. It wasn't sure where it wanted to go, it wasn't sure of what it wanted to do. It's ironic that the issues of the first season became a sort of metaphor for the show's characters: evolving beyond where they started to become something better.
Made up of the secondary heroes of the Arrowverse, the show painted its characters as outcasts of that world, not good enough to headline their own show like The Flash or Supergirl. The first season labels this mentality as a bad thing. After recognizing that the tone of the show wasn't working, the writers decided to embrace that theme, but with comedy being the end result rather than melodrama.
Thus was born a different show basically. Superpowers took a backseat to wacky situational comedy. Fistfights were turned into corny motivational speaks. And their characters evolved to fit this new paradigm. The strangest thing about all of it: it totally works.
Legends of Tomorrow is not for everyone, as most superhero properties are. However, this show from season 2 on is definitely worth a try simply due to the fact there's nothing else like it on air right now. They're may be no other show like it period. The incredible mix of corny action, the wacky situations the Legends find themselves in, and the genuinely good development of basically every character all come together in a truly remarkable story about people changing for the better.
I do believe what they say is true: heroes are in the limelight, they are the ones seen and their actions are praised. But the people you don't see are just as important. Heroes are the ones we remember, but Legends never die.

It's Fun
Personally, I love this show. It's a break from the angst-filled shows that comprise most of the superhero genre, and its full of wacky storylines that really make no sense, but somehow work. The writers clearly have fun with the show, and although sometimes plot points can be a bit contrived (see the end of season 4), it still works. They're especially good with making you fall in love with the characters. That being said, I understand some complaints about the show. The dialogue is CW-worthy and the wacky storylines aren't for everyone, but if you go in expecting a weird, funny show then you won't be disappointed.
A guilty pleasure show
Legends of Tomorrow is a very creative and just fun show which I find myself liking despite how ridiculous it can be. What starts out as a superhero show soon becomes less superhero and more character based show. The cast changes almost every season but that works out for the show most of the time.
What's ironic is it starts out to be a serious show with little comedy but eventually embraces its ridiculousness and truly finds its footing.
Its sad that they cancelled this show after 7 seasons, not just because of the cliffhanger but because, imo, it just needed one more season to say goodbye to all its characters. But it was fun while it lasted and its definitely worth a watch!!!
PS: The score of this show, 6.8 is just too low, I expected it to be much higher but it at least deserves a 7.3 or higher.
