Don't get too attached to TNT's new spy thriller
Legends...
or, at least, to its central character. The best agent in the biz,
Martin Odum is an undercover operative with the ability to "transform"
(we're not yet sure how literally that is meant to be taken, but there
are definitely some
Total Recall-esque elements to this new
trailer) into whatever identity he's upholding for his latest job. As
such, he's in the throes of a never ending identity crises, suffering
dizzy spells, lapses in memory, and even abruptly changing
accents. Sounds like an intriguing concept, sure. But here's the thing: Sean Bean is the star. And you know what that means — he'll be dead about 20 minutes into the pilot.
Bean's record of biting the bullet in film and television is
well-documented. So much so that the casting of the actor in just about
anything sends a shudder up viewers' spines. And it's not as though the
universe of
Legends is free of hazard: he's got enemies gunning
for him, he's got an agency that doesn't trust him, he's got obvious
neurological maladies. Bean is in danger right from the get-go here.
Will he make it through the TNT drama's 10-episode run? Check out the
video and weigh in.
