I was a little bit hesitant about this in the beginning. The Flash has always been in my Top 3 DC characters and I wasn't entirely convinced that The CW could do it justice.
Boy was I wrong!
This, for over half of the season, has been my favourite new show of the 2014/15 season.
Every episode from the beginning just got better and better and would always leave me wanting the next week to hurry up and get here.
The cast is amazing. The three that I always enjoy watching is Grant Gustin, Danielle Panabaker and Carlos Valdes; they are all good to watch on their own but when the three of them work together is always awesome to watch.
The relationships are another thing I love about this show, most notably between Barry and Joe; the friendship between the two and also the father/son moments, especially in the final episode. Another one would have to be Wells and Cisco in particular towards the end of the season, I actually believe that Wells genuinely liked Cisco and regrets the way things had to go.
The range of guest stars and characters throughout the season, including the cast from Arrow, were awesome but Robbie Amell and Victor Garber as Firestorm were the highlight for me.
Another highlight and probably my favourite moments of the whole show; GRODD! Who would think that any show could bring in a telepathic gorilla into a show and not make it look like a joke. I really hope we see a lot more of Grood in Season 2!
My least favourite character would have to be Iris. Just really didn't get into watching the character on the screen but the moment when I disliked her the most was, I think it was episode 21 or 22, when Barry told her Wells killed his mother and her reaction was all about Eddie. I get it, your boyfriend has been kidnapped but your best friend has finally found out who murdered his mother and all she could concentrate on was her boyfriend and Barry's lies.
I love all the DC Comics references throughout the season from Ferris Air, Coast City and Jay Garrick but the awesome thing about these easter eggs is that they don't paint a neon sign towards it saying 'Look here!', it just there for those who know their stuff.
I am EAGERLY looking forward to Season Two! For me, it's too long to wait!
If you're not watching this – GET ON IT!
************************ SEASON TWO *******************************
I absolutely loved the first season so I was eagerly waiting for the new season. While Season Two is awesome, there are starting to be things in the show that I do not like.
Like Barry Allen! Barry had to be the worst character of the whole season, just so much complaining, whining, whinging and pig headedness. Always running off half-cocked, not listening to the team, screws up and then goes running back to them for help.
I really hope Barry improves in Season Three because there were some points throughout the season that he was hard to watch.
Cisco on the other hand; G.O.L.D! By far the best thing about the show and his character got bigger and better this season, still managing to stay the same character and so much more with the addition of his powers. Always on hand to make light of a dark situation without diminishing the importance of the situation.
I really hope Season Three brings a bigger and better storyline for Caitlin rather than her being in love and ultimately getting hurt. Having said that, I did absolutely love seeing Killer Frost – no matter how short it was.
The relationship between Barry and Joe is still as amazingly awesome as it was in Season One, just so heartfelt and pure. I originally was unconvinced of the idea of bringing back Tom Cavanagh full time but that changed throughout the season and worked really well without rehashing anything from the previous season.
This season I found Iris and Wally pretty useless, if they weren't in the show; as far as I'm concerned they wouldn't be missed. I felt that they brought Wally in too early to then just have him floating around in the background, he did get a bit more of a story towards the end of the season but that's when they should have brought him in.
Now onto Zoom. Overall, I have to say I'm pretty disappointed and that has nothing to do with the acting. Teddy Sears was brilliant but I think the writing and the structure of the season let it down.
I started to get sick of the here and there appearances; in one episode and gone for two. Repeat. In my opinion, I don't think we should have seen Zoom until the last episode before mid-season break or the returning episode afterwards. They should have spent the first half with miscellaneous bad guys from Earth 2 with inklings of Zoom, making him more of a menacing figure and then had his story more compacted through the second half of the show.
I still love this show, due to awesome dynamic between the cast, I think it's the best of the DCTV universe so I will 100% be watching Season Three.
