'Legacies' episode 2 review: 'The Originals' fans will be disappointed but it's back to being 'family above all'

'Some People Just Want to Watch the World Burn' is nostalgic, layered and a predictable watch in many ways but the episode hits home, regardless.
PUBLISHED NOV 2, 2018

The last generation of supernaturals had left us with such intensity and pain, 'Legacies' certainly feels like a ray of hope. Of course, this has a lot to with the protagonist of the show, Hope Mikaelson, played effortlessly by actress Danielle Rose Russell. This week's episode was much younger than the last one, perhaps because of the fact that they have already established characters and the mood of the show in the last one itself. Episode 2: 'Some People Just Want to Watch the World Burn' is a nostalgic, layered and a predictable watch. However, if you're a fan of the whole franchise, then you will definitely want more from 'Legacies'. Also, who else is in love with Josie's space buns?
