DC’s Legends of Tomorrow S6
Nominated for four Teen Choice awards, a People’s Choice award and the 2021 Critics’ Choice Super Award for Best Superhero Series, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow returns to the show’s sci-fi roots in Season 6 when Sara Lance (Caity Lotz), aka White Canary, is abducted by time-travelling aliens.
The series has an 89% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, with Season 6 finally cracking that elusive 100% score. AV Club praises it as a “marvellous, irreverent, stupid-like-a-fox show,” with “oh-thank-god-let’s-have-some-dumb-fun energy,” and says, “Punch aliens! Roll your eyes at Spartacus! Drink a cocoon! Talk about John Constantine’s ass! Do whatever you want, Legends — we’re just glad to see you.”
The cast includes Jes Macallan (Mistresses) as Ava Sharpe; Dominic Purcell (Prison Break, The Flash) as Mick Rory, aka Heat Wave; Nick Zano (2 Broke Girls) as Nate Heywood; and Fangoria nominee Matt Ryan as John Constantine, with Chicago P.D.’s Lisseth Chavez joining this season and a guest appearance by Teen Choice nominee AnnaLynne McCord (90210, Nip/Tuck).
