Legends of Tomorrow Season 1 (15)

This spin-off from Arrow and The Flash sees heroes and villains from both team up for time travels hijinks.

The show recovers from a wonky, tonally-uncertain start to find its feet as an entertaining mix of Doctor Who and the Avengers.

Victor Garber, Brandon Routh and Arthur Darvill are the stand-outs among the often enormous cast.

Dominic Purcell and Wentworth Miller’s camp snarling and quips will be in acquired taste, though, and Casper Crump’s antagonist is pure hammy moustache-twirling.

The action befits its heroes, often defying its TV budget trappings, and it all builds to a memorable climax.

A promising set-up, then, for the already green-lit second run.
