Morris Chestnut did guest star for 3 episodes.

Ugh!
She was a major* part of why I started watching in the first place!
Was there any reason why the show got so changed up?

*no pun intended.

I loved Season 1 and the whole cast. I do not like Season 2 at all. I will watch to see the outcome of Martin's character but I am disappointed in the change of the show.

Tina Marjorino was a really minor character. She was the typical procedural computer geek like many network dramas have. I personally don't miss her.

Network decided they wanted to make it darker and more serialized and make it revolve around Bean's character more. Plus, they decided to shoot the entire season In Europe. It's more of a serialized spy thriller now than FBI procedural in season 1.

Cancelled by TNT today.

Not surprised. Ratings were hash marks on Mondays.

I didn't even know Season 2 had started.
How many episodes were filmed?
Did they go into this Season knowing it would be the last?
Hopefully, there is some sort of closure...

10 episodes were filmed, 6 have aired so far.

The show was filmed early this year, doubtful they were into it planning for it to be the last season.

TNT originally was going to air it in late August, but postponed it to November and I'm not surprised that no one knew it was on.

Spoiler alert, the series finale of Legends would have had Sean Bean dying.

Another one of mine that I enjoy canceled, especially the spy/thriller aspect of the show.

Why do people & networks today want so much 'no substance'"Twinkie" shows?!

I enjoyed Legends too, but you can't fault them for cancelling something that no one watched.

Plus, TNT has a new President and Legends was developed by the previous President and I think he wants to get rid of all the low rated shows. Doesn't help that Legends is produced by FOX and TNT has no financial stake in it. All the shows that renewed are made by Warner Bros, which co-owns TNT.

I had season 2 piling up on the DVR so I finally decided to watch it. While the cast and tone change was quit a jarring shift, this was some extremely good TV. Some very well thought out storytelling, especially after the inconsistent and sometimes laughable first season. With such mediocre, repetitive stuff like Gotham and Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders continuing on, it's a shame that Legends was too good for the average TV viewer.
