The Flash‘s return is a tremendous amount of timeline-tweaking fun, though the premiere closes with a gut-punch of a twist. Read full review

Like the Earth-2 storylines, the alternate timeline is so much fun when it comes to seeing our favorite characters with different personalities and alternte lives. Read full review

Although “Flashpoint” might disappoint fans who were hoping that the show might try something a bit more ambitious upfront, it does set up what could turn out to be a standout season for The Flash. Read full review

This season is off to a brilliant start, however the Flashpoint adaption was pretty underwhelming. We finally get an end to the whole "time travel can fix everything" problem, we're introduced to a few new characters (including Julian Albert, Barry's new CSI partner, portrayed by Tom Felton, Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter), and a few new twists in the new reality. Overall, it's a satisfying start to a season. Definitely worth watching.… Expand

Although this season is still fun with the introduction of Kid Flash and Jessie Quick, the more sober tone and the dragging out of the consequences of Flashpoint makes this season feel less fun and exciting than previous seasons.

I still like tuning in every week, but it's not the show it once ones, and I hope that once they're done dealing with Flashpoint, they return to the fun, light-hearted tone of previous seasons.… Expand

Season 3 is where things started getting a lot more annoying. Barry travelled back in time to create The Flashpoint Paradox (no, it's nothing even close to being as good as the graphic novel or the animated movie was). Because of this John had a son instead of a daughter, everyone was upsetSeason 3 is where things started getting a lot more annoying. Barry travelled back in time to create The Flashpoint Paradox (no, it's nothing even close to being as good as the graphic novel or the animated movie was). Because of this John had a son instead of a daughter, everyone was upset from their interpersonal conflicts (read keeping secrets from each other) and Cisco's brother Dante had died. Now Cisco is suddenly very snobby all the time and he wastes a lot of runtime crying about Dante, until a crossover episode of Legends of Tomorrow where he finally makes the same mistake and decides to forgive Flash who was going to sacrifice himself because it's a rule that the character who has been wronged for so long will decide to leave just before everyone learns it's not his fault. So this time the bad guy is Savitar who, just like Zoom, wants to kill all the speedsters out there. So Barry keeps knowing about the future where Savitar kills Iris and he isn't able to run fast enough to save her. Finally when he beats Savitar multiple speedforce portals open and Barry leaves the team to go in them.… Expand

What I was hoping to see at the start of season three was Barry Allen living in a world where his parents were alive; Eobard Thawne behind bars and Barry's relationship with Iris moving forward while protecting the public as "The Flash". What also would have been great story lines was the return of the 'real' Harrison Wells and Barry's girlfriend Patty. That didn't happen. Instead Barry goes back in time again to make things as they were. Another pet peeve of mine is that the character of Barry Allen is turning into this whining brooding personality that reminds me of Bruce Wayne except with speed. Also I've grown very tired of the Earths 2-3-4 whatever. That scenario was played to death during season 2. Please lets not do it again this season. Hopefully, as season three progresses, the personalities of the show's characters will return to what they once were, especially Barry Allen. It was the constant changing of the characters and story lines that made me stop watching "The Arrow." I don't wish to see that happen with "The Flash."… Expand

Probably it would`ve be much better if The Flash would consists of 8-13 episodes per season, as there`s too much stupidity when extending this series to +22 episodes..................NEXT !!!
