    Loved it

    Totally original, quirky, funny, at times absurd offbeat comedy. John Hawkes is thoroughly committed and lovable in this role. The rest of the cast was equally offbeat. It left me wanting to see more of this world! Lovable losers, winning at life. Hoping this series continues! More Master Legend!

    Quirky and Inspiring: A Fun Twist on Superhero Shows

    I wasn't sure what to expect, but this was awesome! Watching this unique do-gooder struggle to be a hero in a world that misunderstands real superheroes -- it's quirky, heartwarming, funny, and inspiring! It's got me feeling re-invigorated in my work as a non-profit organizer. I got teary-eyed from the first scene, because that's really what it's like trying to make the world a better place. You win some; lose some, but you do make a difference. Awesome job, Master Legend!
