The energy spent keeping things serious prevents the series catching fire. But it remains a brilliant story, here well told.
-
It lacks the pizzazz of Peaky Blinders or the relentless rug pulls of Line of Duty. What’s left is Forsyth’s trademark brand of period drama: engaging but not gripping, authentic but not original, well-crafted but not striking. Legends, is, in short, what a lot of British telly is: an exercise in risk-free repetition.
