Tonight’s first episode of Legends on TNT features ex-CIA agent Martin Odum (Sean Bean). “Legends” is CIA-speak for “deep cover identities.” Legends is based on Robert Littell’s book, Legends: A Novel of Dissumulation. Littell’s character has so many legends he loses track of who he really is. I could have done without the sessions Odum has with the CIA shrink. In fact, I could do without the constant jumping back and forth in time as Littell shows us Odum’s various missions and their outcomes. I’m guessing tonight’s TV version has a lot more action and continuity. The promos on TNT tout that Legends was developed by elements who worked on 24. That could be a Good Thing. We’ll see.
