Different from the actual TV show

Those who know about the reboot of the actual TV show with Grant Gustin should take it lightly. The 1990 version is a bit campy, very art-deco vs. modern and it is less about sentiments, more about commitment.

Some of the classic Flash villains are represented here. John Wesley Shipp does do a great personification of Barry Allen. However, there is few to compare to what is today, as Star Labs is represented here as a simple laboratory compared to the "stadium" structure of today...

Good note here: Mark Hamill makes us forget his Star Wars heroics by portraying the wacky Trickster. And Amanda Pays is so cute, even as a bad girl in one of the episodes.

However, enjoy it for its camp humour.

The Flash still rules in Central City !
