Critic Reviews

David Hinckley

The show's overall tone is less campy than the Flash Gordon movie, but it's more mature, and entertaining, than the old "Battlestar Galactica" or "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" series. Read full review

Gloria Goodale

For all the comic-book fans who can't get enough of grown-ups carrying ray guns and discussing the destruction of planet Earth, pretty lame effects and super-stiff acting keep this from being really great camp. Read full review

Ray Richmond

The whole story is over the top, but it's mitigated by the sense of humor it has about its own broad elements. The acting is serviceable enough and--to Rosenthal's credit in the pilot--surprisingly consistent. What the plotting lacks in cohesion and suspense, the production often compensates for in visual appeal. Read full review

Robert Bianco

Badly written, badly cast and done on the cheap in the Canadian woods, Flash is the kind of fantasy toss-off that gives sci-fi, and Sci Fi, a bad name. Read full review

Maureen Ryan

As played by Johnson, this 21st Century Flash is likable enough, and the plot occasionally achieves a tick-tock level of efficiency, but there’s little else to recommend this series. Read full review

Alan Sepinwall

They've assembled a cast suffering a major charisma deficit and given them wooden, cliche-riddled dialogue to deliver. Read full review

Linda Stasi

I apologize to all the Flash Gordon fans around the world. I know I had nothing to do with this series , but it's so horrible I somehow feel responsible - just by watching it. Read full review

While the series premiere was pretty poor, I gave it another chance, and I actually think it's gotten to be a pretty good show. It's certainly not on the level of Battlestar Galactica or Eureka, but the show has heart and a growing sense of humor. I think this show merits a little While the series premiere was pretty poor, I gave it another chance, and I actually think it's gotten to be a pretty good show. It's certainly not on the level of Battlestar Galactica or Eureka, but the show has heart and a growing sense of humor. I think this show merits a little patience. Hopefully, since SciFi doesn't depend on huge ratings, Flash Gordon will be given the chance it deserves.… Expand

this could have been a great show, to bad it seems SciFi did not give a damn about its quality.
