If you haven't been watch "The Flash" on CW then you have been missing out on easily one of the most entertaining new shows on tv ( my sister got into it and she only caught the midseason finale). The Flash does a lot of things right in the realm of comic book shows, this is a comic book show if that wasn't apparent, and it's a big reason why it is enjoying tremendous success. I could go on and talk about how Grant Gustin does a fantastic job as the nerdy yet tremendously likable Barry Allen, or how Tom Cavanagh is a brilliant yet sympathetic villain in his role as Harrison Wells, or even discuss the supporting cast that has quickly come into their own and provide solid B stories; but I think this is the best reason why you should be watching this show
That is correct, a man in a yellow suit just ran faster than humanly possible to deliver another man to a gorilla with psychic powers and amazing intellect, I defy you to find a show more comic booky than that ( not even Agents of Shield goes that far). It is things like this that I absolutely love, the show just fully embraces its comic book roots and you can tell they have tremendous fun making the show and it translates into the show itself; from Cisco giving villains their iconic names to the introduction of time travel, The Flash unapologetically reminds you that you are in fact watching a show based off a comic book character and you are enjoying every minute of it. I mean damn, they have Gorilla freaking Grodd on the show and the producers have hinted at them doing multiple Flashes ( Wally West fans get hyped...Bart Allen fans, y'all exist?), if you love comic books or hell just wanna see some entertaining television you should def check the show out.
The Flash airs Tuesdays 8PM PT/ET on the CW...it's also online at the CW so you really have no reason not to be watching this show unless you hate fun and who hates fun? Nazis....that's who.
Watch the Flash or Nazism will win.
