The CW’s The Flash is the most-anticipated new series of the season but TV shows about superheroes don’t have a great track record on television. Will The Flash be a ratings smash for the network or will it fizzle? Cancelled or renewed for a second season? Stay tuned.
Based on the DC Comics series, The Flash revolves around a young police scientist who’s struck by lightning in a freak accident. He awakens from a nine month coma to find that he has super speed and decides to use his abilities as a masked hero. The show stars Grant Gustin, Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker, Rick Cosnett, Carlos Valdes, Tom Cavanagh, and Jesse L. Martin.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically the following morning, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.
1/11 update: The Flash and seven other shows have been renewed for the 2015-16 season.
Final season averages: 1.44 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 3.84 million total viewers.

Due to a Nielsen glitch, some of the early ratings of the 2014-15 season were revised a few weeks later.
These are the final national numbers (unless noted with an “*”). These are different from the fast affiliate numbers which are just estimates of the actual ratings. The final nationals are typically released within 24 hours of the programming or, in the case of weekends and holidays, a couple days later.
What do you think? Do you like The Flash TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?

I love The Flash tremendously. In fact, I love all the “Arrow-verse” shows. I hope they aren’t cancelled 🙁
The Flash is amazing and it keeps me wanting more. Love the script, I really want another season
The flash along with marvel agents of shield, green arrow, and other super hero shows are the only kind of clean shows.
Definatly renew renew renew renew renew renew 5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The CW/The Flash promotions continue to EXCLUDE Candice Patton, sadly. This exclusion is offensive and telling. It seems The CW/ Flash is NOT worried about losing any viewers next season because of its racist stance. This is a mistake on their part.
I think renewed for at
least another season
Today, it was announced Barry Allen will be getting a “Felicity Type” love interest for season two of The Flash. Unfortunately, I cannot think of a more boring plot line. Sadly, the writers and producers are taking a chance on an idea that may not be well received. The above ratings may look more like those of Arrow…..Low.
i like the flash, its the best shoe ever then arrow, marvels & so on…..
the BEST show on TV by far!
The whole season wAs captivating and several episodes left me yelling at my tv for more and now that I’ve seen the final episode of the 1st season I’m left with the same feeling I started with watching this show I’m screaming for more
i like the flash and ep 22 was good however i would have liked the real wells to be alive i am looking forward to the last ep of series on tuesday but reading views has left me curious as to how bad ppl think it is.
A funny thing happened along the way to The Flash finale. This former fan just started not to care any more. There are too many reasons to enumerate, but let’s say The CW Network and The Flash executives failed to provide the support and authenticity necessary to validate their decisions, casting choices and story lines. Andrew Kreisberg should look into a mirror for answers as to why The Flash probably will not grow, and may likely decline in popularity. It is important to make as many fans as possible feel invested in a show and not take them for granted.… Read more »
Sir/madam, Probably you never read a comic book before, but let me tell you something very important about them: NOBODY EVER, EVER DIES
There is no a single character from DC or Marvel that haven’t resurected after an heroic “death”. You will proably see Candice Patton in the next season, or maybe the 3 seasone.
Good example is black Canary, now White Canary: is the hole reason the season 3 of Arrow start, but now she is live agains ¿Someone cares? N0! It’s a comicbook, it’s implies that you are gonna be back sooner or later
no tommy merlyn did not come back
“It is important to make as many fans as possible feel invested in a show and not take them for granted. It is also necessary to support the actors on a show. Muddled, confused and rushed scripts are not the solution.”
This is just plain wrong, if that were the case this show wouldn’t be successful in the first place. You obviously don’t know about comic book shows if you expect it to be 100% realistic. It’s a show about a guy who runs faster than the Speed of Light what do you expect?
Episode 22 sucked. I hope Candice Patton had a better time at the Texas Rangers Baseball game than I did watching the show. No wonder there was not much promotion. Overall grade for the writers is D- . Over the summer, I will make a conscious effort to forget about this ridiculous mess.
What a disappointment!
Why do the characters on the show sound like there from 9021L ? Why don’t you guys just have everybody know that Barry is the flash! This series is getting very stupid Iris acting and sounding like she is the valley! Why is it that African Americans on TV series can’t be themselves why must they act as if they are white sound white! The series is really getting stupid now the acting is getting ridiculous! Why is it that the white guys always get the black female and why is the black female always crazy about them and never… Read more »
That’s not totally true in the Flash case Barry is crazy in love with Iris but she’s not that into him as he’s into her and Eddie and Barry are both chasing after Iris like mad. Iris has to decide who to marry. She should get with a Bro though who sweet talks like Joe at the hospital scene. Joe the smooth talker. Joe’s life begun when Iris was born he said, ahhh!
Love Flash!!! Please renew!
Episode 21 of The Flash was one of the best ever. Here’s hoping the writers continue on a positive course. Grant and Candice, acting in tandem, were mesmerizing and the new freedom of Iris West enhances the story lines magically. Oh thank goodness, this show has been saved from itself. Whatever was going on in the “nether episodes” has been neutralized and will hopefully, never infect The Flash again. Wow! Just Wow! Tonight, The Flash was everything long suffering fans could want, and more, and there can never be a doubt Barry and Iris madly in love with each other… Read more »
