Legends, British series, is inspired by the true story of agents who acted undercover with the aim of dismantling the plague of those years. In the fictional story, which also mixes crime with a clever dose of humor and comedy, making the product enjoyable, at the top of the structure is the veteran Don, who gathers around him a handful of “normal” agentschosen from the second ranks of the police forces, “employees” willing to change their lives and risk it.
For Guy, Kate and Bailey a new life begins, a “legend” in facta painful, dangerous, but necessary masking.
For those who love thrillers set in historical-social contexts of the recent past.
