   I don't know what kind of twisted person enjoys watching DC's Legends of Tomorrow, but I am 100% that kind of person. It's the only show that makes me shout triumphantly, almost cry and then laugh hysterically all in one show.
   
   This is not a recommendation. It is camp. It goes for cheap wins. It is absolutely ridiculous and over the top and probably not for you. It's MINE.

     @clacke Is it like Arrow or Flash? :)

     To return to your first question in this thread, Season 2 is like The Flash.

     Skip Season 1, it's self-contained. If you can accept that the team is for some reason working together and there were time masters you're good.
     
     Season 2 is better and provides context for 3, plus that 2 has the turning point.

     But if you get stuck in Season 2, skip to Season 3.

     @clacke does watching first two seasons add flavor to the rest of the show or can I safely skip it? What do you think?

     Not at all. Season 1 was like a bad season of The Flash and I was so upset with how bad the time travel was that I dropped it entirely. A few years later I tried season 2 and it was slightly better, just enough to keep me watching casually and occasionally.
     
     Then something happened. There was a sharp turning point where:
     
     *villains have the heroes*
     Villain 1: *launches into bad guy monologue*
     Villain 2: Are you seriously doing the bad guy monologue right now?
     *heroes get away*
     Damien Darkh: For the record, I thought that was a very good bad guy monologue.
     
     At this precise moment, DCLoT gave up every effort of taking itself seriously. They have fought a fairy godmother, a hell nipple, copies of themselves, openly embraced that every time they try to save the timeline they screw it up, and it's been a brilliant series almost every single episode for five seasons starting with that scene.
