Introduction

I really wanted to like this show. Flash, the fastest man alive, I remember him as a cool superhero and I could barely wait until his new show was released. However, I am sad to say that the show so far has not lived up to my exceptions.

Likes

Superheroes and superpowers, that is always fun. The special effects are really good to be a TV-Show.

Dislikes

This show is a little to predictable and the dialogues are a little to bad. It`s also a little to black and white. I like more shades of grey.

Plot

Barry Allen is struck by a freak lightning originating from a particle accelerator malfunction at S.T.A.R. Labs. After a nine-month coma, Barry discovers that he has the ability to move at superhuman speeds and heal incredibly fast. Barry discovers that he is not the only one changed by the particle accelerator accident. He vows to use his gifts to protect Central City from the escalating violence of metahuman criminals. He teams up with a few scientists from S.T.A.R. Labs and his adoptive detective father to catch these special criminals.

Conclusion

I can accept bad physics and science from shows like this, that dos not really matter. It would be hard to make a superhero show where stuff like that was realistic. What I cant accept is boring stories. They are to similar what I have seen before, only worse. It`s also so strange that almost all of the metahumans except Barry are evil. This show kind of reminds me of Smallville only not so good. Take away the special effects and the super powers, and this show would be super bad. But since I like the special effects and the superhero theme I am still going to watch it. As long as it dos not get any worse.
