Warning: full spoilers for The Flash's first season follow!
It's pretty much a given that any new TV series is going to have a period of adjustment as the actors settle into their roles and the writers hone the show's voice. With superhero shows, it may take a month or two (in the case of Arrow), or it could take the better part of a season (in the case of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.). The Flash was unique in its first season in the sense that it never really needed to find itself or grow into something better. It simply started strong and continually got better over the course of seven months.
Much of the credit rests with the fact that the Flash was hardly starting from scratch. This show is the first spinoff of Arrow and its growing superhero universe (though clearly it won't be the last). It features many of the same producers as Arrow and several writers responsible for Arrow's stellar second season. Not only did The Flash not have to waste much time establishing its universe, it didn't even have to introduce viewers to its protagonist. Grant Gustin debuted as a pre-speedster Barry Allen midway through Arrow's second season, culminating with the accident that created the Flash. By the time this show came around, viewers already knew Barry, what made him tick and what fueled his particular quest.
All of that helped The Flash race right out of the gate, hit the ground running, and other assorted speed-related puns in its premiere episode. For whatever fears I may have had about Gustin's physicality or leading man potential in his early Arrow appearances, he rapidly grew into the role of Barry Allen once the spotlight was placed on him. Gustin brought a winning blend of youthful energy, latent pathos and Peter Parker-esque awkwardness to the table. He gave us a Barry Allen that's impossible not to connect with. Barry is immensely likable. He's less intense than Stephen Amell's Oliver Queen. He's driven by tragedy but anchored by a small family unit. He's faithful to the comic book Barry Allen but tempered by a bit of Wally West's humor and everyman appeal.
The Flash didn't suffer from the familiar freshman growing pains most new shows experience in their first season. This show built from the framework Arrow laid out and made use of an experienced writing and production team, a great cast, and a clear, focused plan for exploring Barry Allen's first year on the job. The show was never afraid to delve ...
