    Probably it would`ve be much better if The Flash would consists of 8-13 episodes per season, as there`s too much stupidity when extending this series to +22 episodes..................NEXT !!!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Season 1 ended with dealing with the consequences of saving his mom in the finale, and he came to terms with her death and recognizing the costs were just too high for one life even his mom's. Season 2 dealt with the guardians of even small uses of time travel (time wraiths, temporal shockwaves), and even had a whole spin off series about the consequences of time travel. season 3's first episode is about flash having a perfect life free of all the previous consequences of saving his mom, the only issue is that he will forget who he was in the alternate timeline and end up being permanently the new version of himself. he decides that the consequences of such is too high a price (same conclusion as season 1), and changes it back (same as season 1, again). he then remembers everything and things don't 'cement' making him forget about the other timeline (like at the first episode of the season). The whole season is dealing with the consequences of undoing the timeline he was in at the first episode, via a villain created by a causal loop (he existed, thus he was created by flash to defeat him), and at the end of the series there is a speed force guardian which is dispatched with ease (unlike last time he showed up in the previous seasons). at the end of the season they trap the flash 'for all of eternity' which will mean either another retcon for season 4 or a season without flash. basically they wrote themselves into another corner.

    The show used to be the best out of the DC shows, and it seems they are getting better, though whoever has the show for season 4 needs to sit down and actually watch the other seasons and figure out how to bring things all into line with some sort of consistency so they don't have to retcon everything every season, though to be fair thinking things through is not a strength for most shows and given at how far out there sci-fi is this means that bad writing is much more apparent in sci-fi.    … Expand

    TV Flash continues to be the most satisfying of all the broadcast network adaptations of comic-book superheroes.

    Like the Earth-2 storylines, the alternate timeline is so much fun when it comes to seeing our favorite characters with different personalities and alternte lives.

    Although “Flashpoint” might disappoint fans who were hoping that the show might try something a bit more ambitious upfront, it does set up what could turn out to be a standout season for The Flash.
