Review: 'DC's Legends Of Tomorrow - The Complete Fifth Season' is a Harrowing Good Time

Fame. It comes with a price.

For these time-tripping, misfit heroes, fame certainly has its consequences, as they face one crisis after another in "DC's Legends of Tomorrow - The Complete Fifth Season," available now on Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital.

Our favorite team of adventurers is going through some serious changes! After the events of last season, the Legends had to make some very hard decisions, and it's inevitably made some changes to the timeline. Their team roster has been shaken up, some are about to face some tough decisions, and magic has them all wound up!

After coming to grips with the events of the "Crisis of Infinite Earths," the Legends kick off their Fifth Season inviting a reality show crew into their time-ship. Doesn't sound like how this camp crew of cut-ups is accustomed to doing business, but the Time Bureau has been shut down and the team has to convince the world that they are out to stop the "real" threats – and aren't threats themselves. Eva (Jes Macallan) has been working to keep it all together, while Sara (Caity Lotz), the White Canary (Eva's girlfriend and captain of the Legends), wrestles with the loss of her long-time friend Oliver Queen (see "Arrow"). Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh) has found true love with Nora Darhk (Courtney Ford), but it isn't all blissful wishes full of kisses for those two, either!

The world isn't convinced it can trust the Legends, and who can blame them, especially when suddenly they've got a "new" member among their ranks, although technically Behrad Tarazi (Shayan Sobhian) has been a part of the group all along (but not really). His sister, Zari (Tala Ashe) made good on her promise to change the "future apocalyptic" time-line they're both refugees from, but it's altered events dramatically, and now Behrad is the bearer of the elemental totem that gave her superpowers. Now Nate's (Nick Zano) heart of steel cries out; Zari's sacrifice also wiped out his memories of their love for each, but, as fate would have it, their paths will cross again.

An adversary of magician John Constantine (Matt Ryan) has unleashed history's most nefarious evil-doers from Hell and given them an "encore" opportunity to spread their brand of chaos on the world! Now the Legends must travel through time and stop these "Encores" from carrying out their plans, save Constantine's soul, and then reshape their fate – all while preventing the Fates themselves from taking over everything! It's just another day in the far-reaches of alternate time-traveling adventures in the world of "DC's Legend of Tomorrow!"

All 15 Season Five episodes are featured on three Blu-ray discs that also include Unaired Scenes you can't see anywhere else and include additional Special Features. A "Post Production" wrap-up of Season Five and a series of "More Fun Moments" Gag Reel that goes behind the scenes and on set with this crew of scene stealers. "DC's Legends of Tomorrow" stands out among its contemporaries; even though it is firmly rooted in The CW primetime "Arrowverse," it doesn't take itself too seriously and is packed with fun and frolic!

Season Five kicked things into high gear with the conclusion to the epic five-part crossover event "Crisis on Infinite Earths," and, for a limited time, a bonus disc is included with the package that features the entire story arc from "Supergirl," "Batwoman," "The Flash," and the final season of "Arrow." The bonus disc also includes exclusive featurette content, revealing insight into the most ambitious television event ever!

With a cliffhanger that saw our team of misfit heroes irrevocably changed, the fate of Captain Lance is literally hanging in the balance. "DC's Legends of Tomorrow - The Complete Fifth Season" is filled with harrowing hijinks, and is the perfect way to get into the groove and excited for what's sure to be a long season of anticipation. New episodes of the series are slated to return early in 2021, so get with it now! These legends won't last forever, and time isn't always on their side!
