Introduction

Legends is a show on Netflix. It is about secret police officers in the UK in the 1990s. They try to stop people who sell drugs.

Main Body

The story is about real events. A man named Don Clarke chooses new officers. He gives them fake names and fake lives. These fake lives are called legends. The officers go into drug groups in London and Liverpool. If they make a mistake, they might die. The show is fast. The training part takes only fifteen minutes. The show shows how the officers change. They forget who they really are because their fake lives are dangerous. There are six episodes in the first part. Netflix did not say if there is a second season. But the creator, Neil Forsyth, has an idea. He wants to tell new stories about different secret officers in the future.

Conclusion

You can watch the first season of Legends now. We must wait for Netflix to tell us about more episodes.
