The Flash

The Flash is a fun, fast-paced superhero show that successfully balances action, humor, and emotional storytelling. Grant Gustin's portrayal of Barry Allen a kind-hearted, determined forensic scientist turned speedster is genuinely relatable and charismatic, making the character's journey compelling. The chemistry among the core team members adds depth and warmth to the series.

The show's visual effects have grown stronger over time, and early seasons in particular feature some of the most memorable villains in the Arrowverse. Its inventive use of time travel and the multiverse injects fresh challenges and twists, though sometimes the storylines can become a bit convoluted.

While it occasionally leans into soap opera drama and repetitive plot beats, The Flash remains one of the most consistently enjoyable superhero shows, blending thrilling action sequences with heartfelt character moments.

I'm a big fan of superhero shows, I even like the ones that most people don't, but The Flash is definitely one of the better ones but it got worse in the latter seasons and that's because The Flash was barely in it anymore. Like a lot of these reviews have already pointed out...the show was more focused on Iris in the last couple of seasons and I think everyone agreed that that was a huge mistake. Ever since the Crisis Crossover they've put her as pretty much a co-lead and every episode was among the lowest rated in the series history because of it. Overall I still give The Flash a high rating because the earlier seasons were just the good and Grant Gustin made a great Barry Allen and Flash. It was the later seasons that failed.

If you had asked me a couple of years ago what the best super hero TV show at the time was, I would have said The Flash.

The show started excellently well with a gripping pilot and a good story line. It starts with how Barry Allen becomes The Flash starting with how he gets his powers, then learns how to use/control them and then tries to solve the mystery of his mother's death to avenge his father. Overall season 1 was superb! Season 2 was weak when it comes to the story line but the excitement of seeing new metas, cross over episodes and 'team flash' developing some individual abilities of their own makes watching the season worthwhile.

Season 3 has been average at best and my rating of flash that started from a full 10 has dropped to 7 over two years. Constant time traveling and meddling with things not only gets confusing in my opinion, but also makes you lose interest.

I would definitely recommend people to give this show a go (especially if you are a DC fan) but the eventual and constant decline of the show is pretty obvious as you go on with the episodes.

Could have been such an amazing superhero show it's a shame that it fell off in overall quality midway through. Whilst seasons 1-2 was very well written and hype, seasons 3-4 was still enjoyable but season 5 was where the decline very obviously started but season 7 beyond is unwatchable and sad to see such a good superhero show fall.

I am so tired of the lame writing in this show. I can tell these writers are not committed to the plot and development of a true SUPER HERO. Smallville suffered from the same horrible writing. It isn't hard to write for such epic superheroes. The corny dialogue and the weak plots need to stop...PLEASE STOP
