PLOT
At 11, Barry Allen's life changed completely when his mother died in a freak accident and his innocent father was convicted of her murder. Now a crime-scene investigator, his dedication to learn the truth about his mother's death drives him to follow up on every new scientific advancement and urban legend. When his latest obsession -- a particle accelerator heralded as a world-changing invention -- causes an explosion, it creates a freak storm and Barry is struck by lightning. He awakes from a coma nine months later with the power of superspeed. When he learns that others who have gained powers use them for evil, he dedicates himself to protecting the innocent, while still trying to solve the older mystery.


OVERVIEW
I feel this show is highly overrated. Don't get me wrong it's a great show but it's no Game of thrones and so doesn't deserve a 98% on rotten tomatoes. When I first started watch the flash, it was amazing from the plot to the sick graphics to the costumes you name it. But after season 1, I began to realize that I was so excited over what is clearly a children's show πŸ˜•πŸ˜•. I hate shows in which the protagonist takes a huge risk knowing it could harm everyone around him but still goes along with it and then no one he/she cares about is affected. Is it too much to ask that one of his teammates at least faints or something.
-In season 1, the reverse flash (Eobard Throne) said that he is Eddy Thorne's descendant. Then how is it that he and the flash are enemies, they are in two DISTANT generations. Or is Barry immortalπŸ€”
-In season 2, Zoom wanted to destroy all the planets in the universeπŸ™„.......... WHY!!! for goodness sake, what does he gain from that?πŸ˜’
-In season 2, Zoom was sending all earth 2 villains to earth 1 so fight Barry. But why were they obeying him though. Couldn't they fight zoom instead of doing his bidding, after all the are also evil.πŸ˜’
-In season 2, since Barry went back in time to save his mother, then he shouldn't have his powers anymore. It was the reverse flash that caused the particle accelerator's destruction and from season 3 trailer he was locked up in a cell.
Is it just me or is the idea of Barry so much wanting to date his (kinda)sister f*#^ing creepy 😰😰. There are so many other girls out there why Iris, the girl he lived under the same roof with, shares a father figure with, shared a bathroom with for 15 years 😷.

Season 3 introduces Kid Flash (Wolly West)

 

TobyTale rating: 8.2/10
