Legends Of Tomorrow: 'Lowest Common Demoninator' Review

gamerant.com:

The return to Legends of Tomorrow’s second half of Season 7 last week, “Paranoid Android,” did not feature the “real” Legends. Instead, it showed their hardened, bloodthirsty robot copies, following the original programming of Evil Gideon. This week’s hysterical installment reunites viewers with the flesh-and-blood Legends, albeit following a different kind of “programming” that makes them realer-than-real. “Lowest Common Demoninator” sees the team be trapped within demonic Reality TV.

After a rushed exit from Evil Gideon’s forces before the mid-season break, human Gideon (Amy Louise Pemberton) teleported the team into John Constantine’s House of Mystery. Although since this pocket dimension is unmoored from reality, it now rests just outside of Hell. Luckily, being outside the time-stream gives the Legends a chance to relax and recuperate from Evil Gideon’s dogged pursuit. Unluckily, Gwyn Davies (Matt Ryan) already felt guilty about his abandonment of “Alan” in World War 1, which is compounded by Bishop sacrificing himself for the group to escape. This is why he opens the front doors to Hell and accidentally lets in the “Cursed Crew,” an invisible Reality TV team cursed to film groups and manipulate their emotions towards good on-screen drama.

What ensues is one of the flat-out funniest episodes of Legends of Tomorrow - which is high praise for a frequently funny show – as the cast succumb to the archetypes of Reality TV. Sara (Caity Lotz) tragically regressed back into a cold-blooded assassin last week, but Caity Lotz shows her range by going the opposite direction here as Sara is turned into a Real Housewives diva plotting her next vacation.
