    Season one has always been pretty good, from the acting to the villains, to the story, all around a fun time

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The Flash made an excellent take off with Season 1, which is what made it so popular. The show had a lot to live for since the two best seasons of Arrow came just before it. And it managed to completely nailed it. I was really excited to just see the fourth most popular DC superhero just doing something in live action. Sure the plot was repetitive in the beginning (Barry training and then using his training to defeat supervillains) but in the end it all pays out when it is revealed that Harrison Wells was in fact Eobard Thawne (Reverse Flash) and was making Barry faster so that he could make him go back to the past and get himself out of the time paradox he accidentally created. Having a crossover episode with the Flash fighting Green Arrow was a fan favourite moment which makes this show so much more exciting. Overall the season had everything we ever wanted to see.… Expand

    This show has a lighter tone than Arrow and has a nice villain of the week kind of feel but also balances that with a heartfelt story and truly dramatic storytelling.

    While this season is nothing great, or even good, it is pretty decent and you can see the effort the cast and crew put in. All the characters have distinct personalities, the villains all have interesting abilities, and the main villain of the season, The Reverse Flash, is shown to be an extremely interesting and complex character as he is slowly developed throughout the season.

Having said all this, there are a few cringey moments and the CGI can get pretty cheesy. So nothing masterful here. But this season is still pretty decent and worth watching if you want to see something you don't want to think about much and just want to relax watching.… Expand

    Likeable plucky Flash, but he is no hero, no spoilers. I enjoyed the villains they were highly entertaining especially the main villain. The rest of the supporting cast did a really good job.

I didn't really like some of the villains, but I loved the big bad, Reverse-Flash. The special effects weren't groundbreaking but they surprising considering that this is a TV show and it's budget.

Sure, the weekly plots are often full of holes that my teenagers love to point out after (and during) each episode, and the dialogue can be cheesy and predictable. Still, there's something about the chemistry between the characters - their genuine love for each other and a certain sense of Joy about the entire storyline that keeps us tuning in season after season. As predictable as the weekly plot lines can be, the overarching season storyline is more cryptic and enjoyable to watch as it unfolds little by little throughout the episodes. There is a lot of great storytelling here as we cheer on Barry and friends in their fight against evil.… Expand

    I definitely see that the effort is invested in the development of the series, during all episodes kind of action is present, acting could be better, the first few episodes is difficult to digest should get used to the series, I'm not disappointed simply is nothing more then watchable.But in any case, I recommend to watch for those who love the series with superheroes for them will be 10/10.

    The Flash is probably the best show that I've ever watched and is a masterpiece showing the complex life of a superhero. The audience will get to see Barry Allen dealing with life's challenges along with the hard life of a crimefighting speedster.

    The Flash is definitely (in my humble opinion) the strongest of the CW's DC universe so far. The tone is light hearted and the plot is usually fast and easy to follow, with real drama and emotion sprinkled in regularly. It has a great cast of characters that nail their roles. The CGI and action sequences are fairly strong for a super hero show on a lesser network.

    Love the characters- actors are perfect, I love the plot, the way each version of the flash has been easter egged in a way. Not to mention all the little easter eggs involving other villains and heroes. The cross overs with the arrow are a delight, and after every episode I want more!

    This is definitely better than Arrow in every possible way. Not that that's saying much, seeing as Arrow is boring as crap. The only "great" superhero show right now IMHO is Gotham, and it technically doesn't even have any real superheroes. Still, The Flash is definitely worth a watch.

    I love the flash !!! He is cool, super nice and have a cool story. The Flash vs The Reverse Flash. THAT IS AWSOME !!! I like that Arrow find in it. It is better if YOU watch Arrow, too. It is verry cool, too and The Flash binds with the TV show Arrow. I must say that the beginning was a little bit boring. BUT afterwards is that really exciting.

    The Flash sports a great cast, visually well-designed sets and effects, and the pace and atmosphere reflect the deft hands of directors and crew. But a superhero show can’t live on those elements alone.

    First, the series is completely on point with what the network is doing elsewhere (Arrow, etc.). Second, it's actually very well done. And third, it's wholly entertaining.
