DC's Legends of Tomorrow Season 2

DC's Legends of Tomorrow Season 2 has built a real following on and among viewers who want their sci-fi to think as hard as it looks. Across 1 season, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. With 2,477 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Watch it for Caity Lotz — the performance elevates material that could easily tip into self-seriousness. Put it on tonight and see for yourself.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, DC's Legends of Tomorrow Season 2 is worth clearing space for. DC's Legends of Tomorrow Season 2 uses its genre premise as cover for asking bigger questions. Season two amps up the firepower by enlisting both a league and a legion of new characters. Joining Rex Tyler aka Hourman will be other members of the Justice Society of America. And for every force of good, there is an opposing force of darkness. Caity Lotz and Victor Garber lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2016. The world-building is meticulous enough to sustain multiple rewatches, with details early on that only make sense later. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Viewers burned by ambitious sci-fi that could not sustain its premise should give DC's Legends of Tomorrow Season 2 a chance. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Caity Lotz anchors it with a performance that makes the more abstract moments feel personal. If you have been burned by ambitious sci-fi before, this is the exception.
