DESCRIPTION:
(from Netflix's press release, August 2024) In the early 1990s, at the height of the international war on drugs, the government agency in charge of Britain's borders, Her Majesty's Customs and Excise, realized that they were losing the battle against drug smuggling. Their solution was extraordinary. In a top-secret operation, a small team of British Customs employees were sent undercover. Their task - to infiltrate Britain's most dangerous drug gangs. They were not trained spies. These were ordinary men and women, plucked from ordinary lives around the U.K, put through a basic training regime then told to build new identities in the criminal underworld. These identities were called Legends.
