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 ...
Oct 18, 2023 · The Flash season 1 did a great job of setting up The Flash's world, being the perfect start for the series. Season 1 features Gustin's Barry Allen learning about his new powers and developing them with the help of Cisco, Caitlin, and Harrison Wells — the latter secretly being the man who killed Barry's mother, Eobard Thawne.
- BEST: Fast Enough (Episode 23) Not only did the first season start off strong, but it also finished even stronger as it set up adventures for the second season.
- WORST: All-Star Team-Up (Episode 18) The first season of The Flash actually had a few mini-crossovers with Arrow and one of them was in the eighteenth episode.
- BEST: Out of Time (Episode 15) Flash is known for his time travel adventures and the first season made sure to include that aspect of the mythology. The fifteenth episode introduces Liam McIntyre as the real Weather Wizard, one of Flash’s famous Rogues and his debut is no joke.
- WORST: Crazy for You (Episode 12) The twelfth episode slows things down a bit in the first season. We get introduced to another familiar Flash character in Linda Park (Malese Jow) who becomes a love interest for Barry.
