A new British crime drama on Netflix has captivated audiences, with some viewers admitting they watched all six episodes in a single sitting. The series, titled Legends, premiered on the streaming platform on May 7 and has quickly gained a following for its gripping true-story narrative.
The show follows undercover Customs investigators in the early 1990s as they infiltrate Britain's drug underworld. Created by Neil Forsyth, the series stars Steve Coogan, Tom Burke, and Hayley Squires. It is based on real events involving Her Majesty's Customs and Excise's secret operations against illegal drug trafficking.
Viewers have taken to social media to praise the series. One TikTok user, Yazmien Yuen, shared that she started watching at 9pm and finished at 3am, calling the show "that serious." Another viewer commented, "Halfway through it and I deliberately stopped so that it will last a bit longer. It's so good!"
The series has also received positive critical reception since its Netflix debut. One viewer described it as "absolutely superb," while another called it "a quality watch." The show's blend of true crime and undercover drama has resonated with audiences looking for compelling content.
