TV show description:
A spin-off of Arrow, this action series revolves around a young man who, after a freak accident, ends up with the ability to run at super speed. He decides to use his abilities to protect the citizens of his hometown, Central City.
At 11, Barry Allen (Gustin) witnessed the death of his mother in a bizarre incident, and his father was falsely convicted of her murder. Young Allen was taken in and raised by Detective Joe West (Martin), the father of Barry’s best friend, Iris (Patton).
Now, Allen has grown into a brilliant and geeky CSI investigator. He’s determined to uncover the truth about his mother’s strange death, leading him to follow up on every unexplained urban legend and scientific advancement.
Allen’s latest obsession is a cutting-edge particle accelerator — created by visionary physicist Doctor Harrison Wells (Cavanagh) and his STAR Labs team. They claim that this invention will bring unimaginable advancements in power and medicine. Unfortunately, something goes wrong during the public unveiling.
The devastating explosion causes a freak storm in which many lives are lost, and Barry is struck by lightning. After nine months in a coma, Allen awakens to find his life has changed — the accident has given him the power of super speed. He also learns that he’s not the only person with metahuman abilities.
Allen vows to use his abilities to be a hero for Central City and continue searching for the truth about his mother’s murder. With the help of his closest friends and donned in a special red body suit, Allen becomes The Flash — the fastest man alive.

What do you think? Do you like The Flash show? Do you think it should have ended or been renewed for a 10th season?
I really do love this show, it’s definitely not as tacky as I would have expected. 🙂 I especially love the connection to arrow, really ramps up interest.
I really like this show, and I will be extremely disappointed if it is cancelled.
My wife and I like the show. It is a good family show.
keep it
of course I meant my Grandson and I have a special time watching it together
love the show my 21 yr. old grandson have a special time of watching this every week I hope it stays on but is it only on CW11.
I love the show. I hope it stays for a long time I watch it after the fact. Cant figure out what channel its on
Awesome show I Love it.keep it around.rare to find shows that are good and not in the cop investigative genres. even Gotham is a d*** cop show its good too but not like flash oa arrow.I loved comics tho.
Definitely Keep
Great show!
I think it was a great show so far
I think it will stick around. CW is a bit more invested in the Superhero thing than CBS ever was. I think CBS saw it as a novelty and that version put so much money into effects they really didn’t have enough left over for decent writers/actors. That version was far more campy. The set design was reminiscent of the Dick Tracy movie that came out around the same time. I think DC/WB has come along way in translating comics to the screen (whether it be the big one or the small one) since 1990/91. I think that bodes well… Read more »
Love it:)
Not a bad start. Unlike Gotham…..These guys left money in the budget for writers. Hopefully it’ll stick around

Here’s a bit of trivia. It took me a bit to figure out where I saw him before, but the guy who plays his father was the Flash in the original series back in the 80’s. Nice tribute
As a fan of the 1990/91 CBS Flash show and the comic books I’m admittedly more than a little biased. I LOVED the show. Love that John Wesley Shipp (who played Barry Allen/The Flash on the CBS incarnation) plays Barry’s father, Henry. I also enjoyed that there was a subtle nod to Wally West who was The Flash in the comics from 1987 until 2010 when Barry was resurrected. There’s a scene with Barry watching the news and the reporter covering the story was Linda Park… Wife of Wally West in the comics. Looking forward to a great “run” for… Read more »
this looks like it’s going to be a fun show. Arrow seems more a peyton place of the blue blood set, this show doesn’t seem to take itself as seriously. Good pace, good script, great cast.
