TV Review: The Flash

By Derek Yollin

This review is NOT spoiler free! You have been warned. “The Flash” is about 29 year old Barry Allen C.S.I. at the Central City police department. When Barry was 11 years, old his mom was attacked by a yellow and red blur. His mother was killed and his dad was framed for it. He went to jail and Barry was adopted by the detective Joe West. Now in present time, Barry was watching his idol, Harrison Wells, talk about his machine “The particle accelerator.” Two days later that machine exploded, hitting Barry with a pinch of dark matter and some lightning in the mix. Barry woke up in Harrison’s lab “S.T.A.R laboratories” Next to Caitlin Snow and Cisco Ramon. Barry learned he has superpowers! As do everyone else in Central City. They call these people Metahumans. His crush/half sister Iris West is writing about a superhero named the streak. Barry becomes the flash fights the people and learns the true identity of the yellow blur… Harrison Wells. They have a battle and it is finally happily ever after.

Season two. All is well and Iris knows about The Flash and Barry. They find some more Meta’s Zip Zap he gets them. Barry learns about a new fast man (Speedster). His name is zoom. While this is happening team Flash and co. Meet Jay Garrick also known as a speedster from an alternate earth they call earth 2. Zoom is coming for the flash and his speed. For some reason in the intro Barry is the “Fastest man alive” But his is never the fastest. Save that for later. They fight some more meta’s Barry gets taken to a prison on earth two. He meets a man in a mask. Caitlin and Cisco get harrison from earth 2 to help he goes by Harry. We find out Zoom is Jay and the Jay from earth 2 was killed by Zoom. After Barry gets out he time travels and finds something called a time raith that kills Zoom and turns him into the black flash.

He comes back from the three months of living and he sees some new changes. Also Barry is now the boyfriend of Iris. A new villain named Savitar and his friend alchemy come out to play. They get H.R. to help he is harrison wells from earth 19 They fight some meta’s from flashpoint and a new speedster is here he is iris’ half brother Wally west now kid flash. Cisco has powers and see’s Iris being killed by Savitar. They defeat meta’s kill alchemy and find out who Savitar is… Barry Allen from the future. He kills Iris who turns out to be H.R. with a mask on. They go on to live their lives until…

Season four the one season where Barry is the fastest but still takes twenty three episodes to deal with. He meets the thinker who is the smartest man alive. He creates bus meta’s they were made on a bus and barry defeats them all. He goes to jail for “killing” the thinker. He gets out defeats the thinker and lives his life a satellite starts to fall and he punches it killing so many people. But it also creates more meta’s in Season five. This was The Flash so far.
