The Flash has been The CW’s highest-rated show for two seasons. Will it continue to bring in positive numbers? Could it possibly be cancelled or is it guaranteed to be renewed for a fourth season? Stay tuned.
Based on the DC Comics series, The Flash revolves around young police scientist Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) who’s struck by lightning in a freak accident. He finds that he has super speed and decides to use his abilities as a masked hero. The show also stars Jesse L. Martin, Tom Cavanagh, Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker, and Carlos Valdes.

What do you think? Do you like The Flash TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
Westallen is NOT working. It may be canon in the comics but it is not working on the show. The writers need to accept this, stop it and move on. They have been saying they are putting their own spin on the comics, well here is an excellent opportunity to do so. Get rid of Westallen, there is zero chemistry between Barry and Iris, and have Barry just date every now and then like with Patti and have Iris become a full fledged character. Make Iris a kickass reporter that every now and then has conflicts with team Flash in… Read more »
westallan is the best.they got great chemistry and they are also cute together.
Nah westallen is fine. The problem is the dumbing down of Barry to justify keeping characters that have nothing to the Flash, Barry getting Wally’s stories and him been nothing like his comic self and the big bad been basically the same. (Someone the team trusts who ends up betraying them)
CW needs to stop this only streaming on computer nonsense. They had a sure thing with Hulu but got greedy. And now all their shows are suffering. And not just because of the insanity of the writing. I wish they’d renew a deal with Hulu or something. I hate watching their app. It’s horrendous.
I love the flash but the first gorilla episode was cringy. I convinced my friend to watch it with me and she laughed at me while I tried defending the show.
Love all the characters in flash season 3. Makes my day watching the show every week. Especially love Barry
episode 10.!! great, you got to give kid flash more action.!!
Awesome it already got early renewal. S4 here we come !
Despite seasons 1 and 2 being rather fantastic seasons. Season 3 is filled with messy (and extremely cringe) writing with poorly executed characters. The Flash himself being one of them, with his very slow decision making skills, and pretty much always forgets to use his speed when he can (we already know he has poor decision making skills which is why I am saying slow). This season is also trying to keep the most awful character alive, said character being Iris West. And yes I think it is safe to assume that my disliking her character is a shared hate… Read more »
I would love if the flash continue with more seasons
They should keep it going because they is way more story to tell in the flash not only about the Scarlett speedster but about other people. Like Jesse quick can come back to be a speedster. What ever happened to gorilla grodd? People still want to know what happened to them. Flashpoint made everyone get confused with the story line but it was good. Make a season4.
It should be continued or i’ll be out of good shows to watch
No friggin way….. please don’t cancel the show ….. even if barry screws up it opens up new windows of possibilities for the show into new story arc and new seasons and more viewers… well except for West Allen melodrama. Not so very much poetic… apart from that even the crossover was fanta- fabulous…. don’t you dare **** up the show by cancelling it…
I think the episodes that involve Westallen this season are not do Flash any favors
when I see the rating
I agree
its time to give KF some action.!!!
I think they should have berry go back and fix things to put back everything the way its suppose to be.thetv show is great adding to many heros makes it not as good.i mean kid flash just was added to the show .doing this makes a huge gap in the story.if barry does not go back in time to get his powers back with reverse flash.well the show will start bombing.to many switches in time.they screwed up this season they had away to have kid flash and jessie slowley get there powers after they were knocked out when berry went… Read more »
except we already learned that he can’t go back and restore everything the way it should be, remember when Jay Garrick explained it to him at the beginning of the season?
It should be renewed, I love the series and The Flash and Iris make an excellent couple. But Iris should do not die. The series is awesome, and I am over 60 years old and I love it.
Need more improvements, ratings are bad, it it’s has a next year? Wow
CW should consider cancelling the Flash and focus on making new shows based on DC comic characters like Green Lantern or Wonder Woman.
Too many superhero shows! Canceling this wouldn’t surprise.Do people watch anything that involves comic book heros? Rather then productive things in life?watch this show until the drama reach point of directing this to women watchers then men.
*Do people watch anything that involves comic book heroes?=Question
Answer= No, people watch good shows
Also, what the f*ck do you mean by “watch this show until the drama point of directing this to women watchers then men.”
Boi!!!! Nobody even likes Green Lantern or Wonderwoman.
