The fourth season of ‘DC’s Legends of Tomorrow’ rejoins our legends following their defeat of Mallus. But even while they may have defeated one terrifying threat, the actions they took to do so resulted in some unexpected consequences; namely the unintentional release of numerous deadly and unfamiliar creatures that managed to sneak out of their eternal prisons. Now, the legends must enlist the help of the magic wielding John Constantine in order to assist in locating the monsters and sending them to hell. But as they face off against one creature after another across time and space, the team starts to discover that they might not all be as easily classified as deadly and unflinching monsters. But as the team of the wave rider tries to help make things right in their own unique way, other threats both from afar and uncomfortably close to home begin arising.
Season four of ‘DC’s Legends of Tomorrow’ flies in full force with another massively entertaining collection of episodes spanning across time and space and loaded with gorgeous time periods, electrifying action and plenty of laughs.

With everything from deadly unicorns and fairy godmothers to foes much closer than they might imagine providing threats to our legends this season, all of it makes for another wildly entertaining and full throttle season of timeless fun that fans of the show should thoroughly appreciate.
