Occasionally we all seek fresh content to watch, and a certain programme that’s recently arrived on Netflix has been considered absolutely exceptional. The crime drama has captivated audiences, with some confessing they’ve devoured it entirely in a single six-hour session as it’s simply so compelling.

If you’re searching for a television programme to genuinely keep you engrossed, it appears this one merits consideration, and it’s recently been spotlighted by Yazmien Yuen on TikTok, who confessed she thoroughly adored it. She stated the Netflix drama is so impressive that she remained seated for six hours continuously watching every single episode.

It’s not the sole offering to have mesmerised viewers lately either. Just weeks ago, audiences acknowledged they were also binge-watching another programme within a single session.

In the clip, Yazmien stated: “Netflix dropped a British crime series called Legends that not enough people are talking about. So, of course, I’m going to bring it to your attention.

“It dropped on May 7. Six episodes that you’re going to [watch] like I did in one sitting and, imagine this, it is based on a true story that most people have never heard of.

“When I saw that at the end I was like ‘you what?’ I was gobsmacked.” Accompanying the clip, she also penned: “I started Legends on Netflix at 9pm and finished at 3am.

“This show is THAT serious – British true crime, undercover agents, Steve Coogan. Six episodes. One weekend. You’re welcome.”

The footage rapidly sparked conversation, racking up hundreds of views. Numerous viewers confessed the programme is utterly addictive.

One viewer commented: “Halfway through it and I deliberately stopped so that it will last a bit longer. It’s so good!”

Another enthused: “I binged it, amazing show.” A third responded: “Very good drama, a must-watch. Steve (Coogan) is great at playing serious parts.”

Meanwhile, a fourth wrote: “I just finished it, it was so good! I literally never switch my TV on, but this had me hooked!”

Someone else remarked: “We have two episodes left and I’m bummed. I don’t want to finish it.”

What’s the plot?

For those unfamiliar with Legends, it’s a British crime drama television series penned and conceived by Neil Forsyth. Production was handled by his company, Tannadice Pictures.

Drawing from real events, it follows British undercover Customs investigators who penetrate the drug underworld during the early 1990s. The ensemble features Steve Coogan, Tom Burke and Hayley Squires.

The narrative explores how Her Majesty’s Customs and Excise was struggling against illegal drug trafficking at Britain’s borders. Through a classified operation, a select group of Customs officers were assigned fresh identities and deployed undercover to penetrate Britain’s most dangerous criminal networks.

Following its Netflix debut in May, the series has garnered favourable critical reception. Audiences appear equally impressed with the offering.

One viewer heaped praise on it, commenting: “Absolutely superb it was.” Another remarked: “This is a quality watch.”
