Summary
Featured reviews
This show now focuses too much and Iris and their so called future daughter then Barry. Back in season 1 when the Flash made his debut to the arrowverse the show was good and Grant Gustin was a perfect fit for the role he still is now but the quality of each season is not very good at all.
I don't see much diversity difference at all from the other CW shows but it is just as bad as CW only forced.
If this show really can't improve at all then please cancel this show and start from scratch once again. As they say if it ain't broke don't fix it but if it is broke do fix it.
I have dropped my rating from 10 to 6 since there are some episodes like the crossover episodes which I did enjoy. Other then that I am pretty much done with this show.
The show started excellently well with a gripping pilot and a good story line. It starts with how Barry Allen becomes The Flash starting with how he gets his powers, then learns how to use/control them and then tries to solve the mystery of his mother's death to avenge his father. Overall season 1 was superb! Season 2 was weak when it comes to the story line but the excitement of seeing new metas, cross over episodes and 'team flash' developing some individual abilities of their own makes watching the season worthwhile.
Season 3 has been average at best and my rating of flash that started from a full 10 has dropped to 7 over two years. Constant time traveling and meddling with things not only gets confusing in my opinion, but also makes you lose interest.
I would definitely recommend people to give this show a go (especially if you are a DC fan) but the eventual and constant decline of the show is pretty obvious as you go on with the episodes.

[Season 1 opening]
Barry Allen: My name is Barry Allen and I'm the fastest man alive. When I was a child, I saw my mother killed by something impossible. My father went to prison for her murder. Then an accident made me the impossible. To the outside world, I'm just an ordinary forensic scientist, but secretly I use my speed to fight crime and find others like me, and one day I'll find who killed my mother and get justice for my father. I am The Flash.
- Crazy creditsEach week's opening credits during the voiceover words "fight crime and find others like me" changes to show the previous week's metahuman encounter.
