'Legacies' review: The show really needs some supernatural help to come up with some good endings

'We're being punked, Pedro' was overall an okay episode, if only 'Legacies' hadn't ruined it in the end - like all the episodes so far.
PUBLISHED NOV 9, 2018

Remember how 'The Originals' had the most badass fight scenes ever, even when it was just Freya casting a spell? Clearly, 'Legacies' hasn't inherited that side of things from its predecessor. The show is supposed to be an extension of 'The Vampire Diaries' and 'The Originals' universe and imbibe characteristics from both shows. Clearly, they've left out the part where the problem and its solution is the major part of things. How disappointing!

This week's episode picked up where the last week's left off, where a gargoyle came to life and started wreaking havoc at the Salvatore School for the Young and Gifted. The character was earlier introduced as the Gargoyle King. It's looking for the mysterious knife that Landon had earlier stolen and has no qualms about destroying anything and everything in its way. Josie, Hope, and Alaric must fight the creature and save the day.
