Sean Bean is an FBI operative who does deep
undercover work. He has whole sets of
Legends or personal histories and personas he can drop into at any time, and
can seamlessly create new ones as needed.
He apparently is able to become these personalities for a time, and after doing it for many
years he is unraveling, and isn’t quite sure at times who he really is.
Sean Bean’s acting is really showcased here as
he drops into a new persona on the fly, complete with mannerisms and accents.
A mysterious hooded man makes this situation
worse by following Martin Odom, (Bean’s “real” character) then telling him that
“they” don’t want Odom to know who he really is.
There have been two Legends so far, one a man
who infiltrates a militia bent on destroying an important conference with
bombs, the other a dealer in arms who works to keep a noxious gas from being
released by terrorists.
Supporting staff is excellent. I really like his boss. I like Detective Rice from downstairs at the
FBI who is investigating the death of the hooded man in the subway and who won’t
let go of Martin as the prime suspect in the case.
Crystal, the lead of the unit Martin works for
annoys me terribly. Lantern-jawed is the phrase that comes to mind. And she never gives Martin a bit of a break
or any credit, she just keeps picking away at him.
Martins' x-wife is a harridan that looks like
someone socked her in the eyes every other episode. Man she’s painful. Martin’s son is just the sweetest kid.
Five more episodes to go.
