    Having used up all my patience getting to the end of the last two seasons, I find it difficult to even care about this show anymore. Needs better plot lines and scripts. Hate the season long story arc the CW has been putting on its super hero shows. Major plot points are revealed at a snail’s pace and the filler subplots are just weak.

Needs better plot lines and scripts. Hate the season long story arc the CW has been putting on its super hero shows. Major plot points are revealed at a snail’s pace and the filler subplots are just weak. The heroes need to get to a resolution of most conflicts in an episode or two. Facing repeated failures makes them less special and frankly a danger to society. Which brings us to the premise of the Incredibles. Central City needs to banish the Flash and Star Labs so that super villains leave them alone.… Expand

    While the writers spectacularly flop in making Cicada as a compelling villain, the tone, humour, and writing in other areas is a huge improvement over the previous seasons.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Abuses aren't enough for me to speak on Season 5. The premise was really, really good - Barry and Iris' daughter, Nora comes from the future to find out why her father disappeared from the timeline and why he was unable to defeat his enemy, Cicada. The problem is in the execution. It's ironic that at the same time Arrow was also coming but it had the exact opposite thing - it did so well even though the script was basically a middle finger drawn on an A4 size sheet. Cicada looked so weak. It almost seemed like they were all WANTING him/her to win. And the female Cicada! *dies from cringe and then comes back to life to complete this review* What was with Arrowverse and showing bigotry in 2018? Supergirl had it towards aliens, Legends of Tomorrow had it towards mythical beings, and The Flash had it towards metahumans. Thankfully The Flash was better than Supergirl, but not as good as Legends of Tomorrow. And the only reason why it was better than Supergirl is because of the tension it was able to create. Take that away and Cicada is basically an irrational crybaby. If I were The Flash I'd have either spanked them both till they mended their ways or just killed them as they were both a waste of oxygen. And Barry himself wasn't any more rational. He doesn't listen to anyone, he sends Nora back to the future, he ruins his relations with Iris, he treats his team like trash and he talks down to Eobard as if he himself hasn't taken help from him. This season is just a good idea with an awful execution.… Expand

    This season was okay, definitely an improvement over season 4, but much worse than the first 3 seasons

    In the eyes of this critic, showrunner Todd Helbing and company have rediscovered what’s quintessentially The Flash. ... These folks have put together one of the strongest premieres this show has ever produced, and it’s guaranteed to leave people talking.
