User Reviews

Total mess if you don't also watch a load of other shows

It seems from reading other reviews here that this episode is fantastic if you also watch every single other show set in the same universe, but if you only watch Legends (and/or one or two of the others) it's practically unwatchable. I have no idea what the hell was going on for 90% of this. I'm actually 50/50 on giving up up on the entire DC universe because of this confused mess.
