The Verdict
Legacies is a CW supernatural teen drama whose main identity element is the openly bisexual lead Josie Saltzman, giving it notable LGBTQ+ presence woven into the romance plots. Beyond that, its diverse casting fits a modern setting and there's little preachiness, male-demotion messaging, or source betrayal. It's a fairly typical genre show with one prominent queer storyline rather than a message-driven work.
