All 32 DC TV shows ranked from worst to best
6. DC's Legends of Tomorrow (2016 - 2022)
Envisioned as a vehicle to give more screentime to the Arrowverse's beloved supporting characters, this show ended up becoming the most entertaining of them all. The beauty of DC's Legends of Tomorrow; a whirlwind of television so impossible to describe that I'm regretting even starting to write this entry.
Legends began as a typical time-travel-centric science fiction show with a touch of humor. It was fine for what it was, but it wasn't exactly memorable in its field. And then the genius decision was made to lean into the humor a bit more; it was a decision that the show never looked back from, because the second season took it to new heights, while the third would go on to do the same.
There's so much to say about Legends and all of the things it did right. It was an exquisite example of how to do an ensemble show, giving all of its characters multiple chances to shine throughout each episode and season while also knowing who its leads are. It's a lesson that none of the Arrowverse shows ever learned and that has made this one age all the better in hindsight.
Could it go a little bit too off-the-wall sometimes? Sure. But Legends of Tomorrow had fun with everything that it did, and we all had fun watching it as a result. It was incredibly bonkers, charming, and even heartfelt on occasion, and it featured some of the most outlandish things you will ever see on television. It goes without saying that the show deserved a better ending than the one it got, but boy was the journey worth it nonetheless.
