The Flash Rate The Flash Season 1 (in it's entirety)

[Boy Scout]

The majority of the season was overwhelmingly mediocre. The acting was often terrible, most of the emotional and comedic moments fell flat, and the writing was atrocious. There were a few good episodes in there, though, and I thought Gustin, Cavanagh, and Martin were all great in their roles. This show is incredibly overrated, and I'm worried that it'll never get better because of it.

5/10.

Aren't you that guy who started hating on Flash because people started hating on Arrow?

Sounds like my stance on Daredevil.

The Flash Season 1 coming to Bluray on September, 22nd 2015. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/flash-t...D=1&siteID=f7sX52tQY3I-AChHIpuDQVdfzul8rDiwxA

Checked Avengers : AOU's released date and it says 12/31/2015 (which is way too far from its May release) so not sure how accurate Best Buy's release dates are.

Uh, no. How other people feel about Arrow - which sucked this year, by the way - is none of my concern, and has absolutely no bearing on how I regard either series.

10/10 for me, loved rpetty much every episode. Can't wait for season 2

 

[Cain]

A solid 8 out of 10 for me.

I'm a Green Arrow fan that couldn't get into Arrow so I never expected to even like it just gave it a shot because it was The Flash. Glad I did.

It had the best pacing of any new series I've watched in a long while. The majority of the subplots save for Iris were not drawn out and they moved very briskly. Appropriate for the scarlet speedster's show. The character dynamics were also it's other strength it has a lot of unexpected heart for a CW series which is also pretty key to telling Flash stories.

There is room for improvement of course but it was a completely entertaining and very engrossing ride. The greatest example to give of my long standing belief that the serialized live TV format is perfect for full blown superhero stories. My second favorite new series of the last 5 years behind Hannibal. With ease.

Can't wait for the fall.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

9/10 for me, couldn't give it a perfect 10 due to some obvious issues it had but overall this season was superb and in the main a joy to watch, capped of by a brilliant finale. Wells/Thawne is one of the best CB villains put to screen, and everyone else in the cast were great in their roles also. Can't wait for season 2.

9 /10

Definitely the best superhero show on TV right now, and the best live action superhero TV show to date.

Would have been a 10, but had to take off half a point for inconsistencies with time travel - I have no problem with time travel but it seems to be totally random (as in Barry travels back in time in one episode and doesn't meet his past self, whereas in the finale Barry travels back in time and meets both his past and future selves, and Eobard Thawne is erased from existence - which pretty much undoes the entire first season.....)

The other half point comes off for Iris being such a completely unsympathetic love interest (sorry to jump on the bandwagon Hope she's more likeable next season).

But other than that it's been an amazing show. Sure, it ain't Shakespeare, but the characters are generally likeable, the super-human fight scenes are pretty damn good for TV, and there's a nice chemistry among the cast.

I find it weird that the writers could do such a great job at the little-by-little reveal of the RF, but not take the same care with time travel .

Probably the highlight has been Tom Cavanagh as a likeable Harrison Wells, and an evil, but understandable Eobard Thawne. RF has still been the best part of the show. Gustin has been a good lead, and Jesse L. Martin has been a great side-kick, but the RF character has still been fantastic.

I'm looking forward to his return - and hopefully the writers bring him back in a way that makes a little bit of sense.

Okay, sorry, enough nit-picks, because overall I loved the Flash, it exceeded my expectations in every way.

Sorry the Flash has ended, and really looking forward to season 2 !

9/10 for me too. I totally agree with Batmannerism!
Let me add that Daredevil is very well done but emotionally The Flash is unreachable! I got up at 5 in the morning to see it and strange to say but I'm happy that it's over...too much emotions, too much stress. Maybe for Daredevil also matters that with all episodes available it's more difficolut to build expectation and emotions

 

[Snow Queen]

7.5 or so, I'll put it down as a 7.

 

[Supernova]

9.5/10 for me. It is rare when a new show hits like the flash did for me when all cylinders are clicking and the show creators just push the right buttons at all times. Harrison wells truly made this season go and kept you coming back for more every week. Grant gustin was rough at first but by even the mid finale he was growing in the role in the roght direction. My only complaints were some of the villians werent fully fleshed out and kind of just there for barry to fight and towards the end of the season there were maybe a few filler episodes. Just a great season

 

[metaphysician]

I'll say 8/10. It regularly hits the "this is awesome" button, in ways I really appreciate. However, I take off one point for the terrible handling of the entire Iris West subplot, and another point for various random unnecessary stupidity.

 

[The Sage]

Best first season of a show I've seen yet. Best of the superhero tv series.

Definitely the most emotional. It felt genuine, not force, and is the show's strength above the superheroics. A lot of that comes down to the actors, with Gustin, Martin, and Cavanagh leading.

Speaking of Cavanagh...I can't believe JD's brother from Scrubs was this good. His Harrison Wells/Eobard Thawn is villain of the year as far as I'm concerned.

Fantastic show but for the occasional silly bits and Iris.

This is how I feel as well. I'd say the season started at a 6.5/10 for me and finished at around a 9/10. It kept getting better pretty consistently as long as Iris wasn't the focus and they kept their emphasis on the long story rather than the threat-of-the-week stuff.

Thanks dude, I haven't seen Daredevil so I can't compare them, but they're different kinds of superheroes - DD is the gritty dark-avenger-protector of the streets type, and the Flash is.....well he's the Flash, I mean the Jay Garrick character pretty much invented the speedster sub-genre of superheroes (if you don't count the Greek myths regarding Mercury/Hermes ).

Anyway, I think they got the tone completely right, without slipping down to some of the terrible overacting and lazy storylines of Smallville ( I love Superman, but could never get into that show). With a few tweaks it would be perfect - hopefully Iris will be a more likeable character next season, and the time travel stuff will be written in a way that makes sense.

Still, totally psyched for the Flash's return ! Clearly RF / Harrison Wells will be back, and I'm interested to know how ( hopefully not through a total time re-set, although I wouldnt' rule it out - actually if, after Eddie's death, RF never existed, then he never killed Harrison Wells, so it might be that....ugh).

Ah well, still psyched. Cheers folks.







Flash has been everything

 

[TheBat812]

Gave it a 9 for how much I enjoyed the season.

For quality, I'd say around 8. Very good use of convention, but still alot of CW like qualities to the drama. Still, quite well done, and some very cool ideas at play throughout the season, especially to what they were building to.

 

[cleverusername8]

Gave it an 8.

Did a great job of keeping me interested throughout the whole thing (something that AoS failed to do for me in S2). Good portrayals of lots of characters both major and supporting. Underutilization of some characters like Grodd and the Rogues as a team, but likely will be made up for in the sophomore season. Some of the sappiness got unpleasant towards the end like Iris' discovery of Barry's secret, but the emotional parts of the show were pretty well done overall. Eddie's death was a little too predictable and underwhelming, but I liked his character. The Harrison Wells twist was great and his actor was phenomenal. However, his development was sort of poorly paced in my opinion.

Truthfully, I'd give it more of an 8.5, but that's not an option :/

 

[Tymminator]

Great and fun show.

 

[jolldan]

Easy 10

 

[dude stannis]

9/10 for me. Amazing show. Cavanagh's Eobard Thawne is my favourite superhero villain ever. The whole cast is great. I even like Iris as a character, the CWness is appropriate since Iris and Barry are barely in their 20's. It's a miracle that a 23 episode TV season stayed so consistent.

 

[Justin]

Well I clicked 10.. but depends how we're grading. Could it have been better? Sure, most things can. Could they realistically have done better? No. They hit it out of the park. They got all the villains right, Barry was likable, Thawne was evil and Barry's mom dying made me cry. It's about as good as they can do on their budget and with a new property.

It's a 9 or a 10, 9.5 maybe.

The writing became pretty sloppy in the second half. Characters did stupid things for no reason, the rules of time travel either don't make sense or are ill defined, Eabord is kinda lame here, Tom does very good, but as a character he falls a little flat, the reveal is obvious, but what carries it is the stand alone episodes. The first half I'd argue is better written arc-wise, and while that's not a huge flaw in the second half, it takes a back seat to the stand alone episodes there. Sadly Gorilla Grodd isn't really well done to his fullest potential, so he falls short.
