Legends is a 2014 Conspiracy Thriller TV series based on Robert Littell's novel of the same title, developed by the showrunner of Homeland developer Howard Gordon. Martin Odum (Sean Bean) is an undercover FBI operative with several well-developed aliases (the titular legends) and uncanny ability to stay in character under pressure. However, the stress of his work causes him to assault a random hobo... who tells him, in very specific terms, that "Martin Odum" is another alias, and that he shouldn't trust anyone.The show's second season saw a complete revision of the series format despite retaining its original continuity, as the episodes now focus on Martin laying low in London trying to delve deeper into solving the mystery of his true identity, interspersed with several other storylines centered around a legend that he once personified back in 2001, and a few people that he interacted with while undercover, as well as some occasional flashbacks to his youth. The series was canceled after two seasons.Now has a character sheet. | |

Anachronic Order | |
| Legends / int_8b6e8d7 | comment |
Anachronic Order: The stories in season 2 alternate between the present day and 14 years ago, during the time of the Dmitry Petrovich legend, as well as flashbacks centered on a particular character. A prime example is that we see Curtis Ballard kill himself in 2015 before the incident which cost him his left leg back in 2001. | |

Four Lines, All Waiting | |
| Legends / int_e8dcd1c0 | comment |
Four Lines, All Waiting: Every new scene in Season 2 includes a shift in either location, time period, central character, or any combination of the three. The further along into the season, the more the lines start to converge. Line A follows Martin as he tries to uncover his own mystery, with a little help from Tony (and later his CIA ex-lover, Nina). Line B centers on Kate Crawford, a teenage girl in London who is struggling with an identity crisis after learning of her true heritage. Her and Martin's stories meet after "The Legend of Curtis Ballard." Line C is focused on Curtis Ballard, an FBI agent who was previously involved in investigating Dmitry Petrovich, whose curiosity (and desire for revenge) is piqued as the latter resurfaces 14 years later as Martin Odum. Aside from the aforementioned plot lines, several flashbacks shed some light on the various characters' pasts. | |
