Today is Legacies‘ Netflix debut, and here’s why everyone should take advantage of having this whole season at their fingertips when making their summer binge-watching plans.
And that’s because this show is great! It’s a well-written, fresh idea for a supernatural drama. I mean, we’ve read books and watched shows about supernatural schools before, but Legacies brings a very different take on the idea.
It combines the monster-of-the-week style of classic shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and blends it with the more modern idea of dramas with grand, overarching mysteries to keep you coming back week after week for more.
And you can absolutely start right in with Legacies and not miss a step.
You see, while there’s been a lot of talk about how watching TVD or The Originals before tackling Legacies is the only way to watch, this show can absolutely be enjoyed by people new to this universe. And it’s about time we encourage a whole audience to find this show and fall in love with it as much as we have.
It’s a whole new show with a whole new cast of characters and a whole new reason for being. And it’s a perfect way to introduce people to this complicated world. It’s a minor commitment, as we’re only one season in, and if you find that you love the world and want to get in tune with the history, there is a larger commitment just waiting for you to take the plunge. The Vampire Diaries and The Originals are also both on US Netflix and are just waiting for a whole new generation of viewers to fall in love.
But for now, the commitment to watching Legacies could be fulfilled in a long weekend or spaced out a little for enjoying with friends or relatives. It’s the perfect way to kick off a summer of catching up with all the pop culture you missed out on throughout the busy year.
Not to mention that it has everything you could possibly want in a summer watch. Witty dialogue? Check. Fantastical adventure? Check. Just the right amount of teen drama? Check. An intriguing mystery? Double check!
So, if you’ve already watched Legacies, spread the word that Netflix has Legacies waiting for a whole new audience to experience and get ready for the adventure to continue with season 2!
