      85% 272 Reviews Tomatometer 66% 1,000+ Ratings Audience Score At 11, Barry Allen's life changed completely when his mother died in a freak accident and his innocent father was convicted of her murder. Now a crime-scene investigator, his dedication to learn the truth about his mother's death drives him to follow up on every new scientific advancement and urban legend. When his latest obsession -- a particle accelerator heralded as a world-changing invention -- causes an explosion, it creates a freak storm and Barry is struck by lightning. He awakes from a coma nine months later with the power of superspeed. When he learns that others who have gained powers use them for evil, he dedicates himself to protecting the innocent, while still trying to solve the older mystery.

      Pancapeczka G At the begining I was like ,,oh not again" and i had de ja vú from the past seasons but later this showed that i was mistaken , but 2nd season was still better. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/24/23 Full Review ava s it was good until STUPID FRICKING JESSE GOT NOT JUST SUPERPOWERS BUT ALSO ARROGANT CAUSE SHES SO FRICKING STUPID so I stopped watching after the 3rd episode because I couldn't look at her face before and now is the exact same except worse Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/09/23 Full Review Nathaniel A Season 3 is a solid third round of the Flash, but also is the first season of noticeable missteps. The season is worth it with Grant Gustin and Candice Patton relationship chemistry, Cavanaugh's comedic HR Wells and the return of Killer Frost However, well the the darker tone, new villains and life after Flashpoint are good ideas and overall make a solid season, they kind of struggle execution with lacking characterization for several of the new characters, particularly with Savitar. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/15/23 Full Review American M Loved it, how he has to ask for the RF help so he doesn't get stuck in flash point and all these new metas because of this crazy magic dude and how Savitar is really Barry, just chills, the only bad part is how he died but other than that I loved it.

      Scott Von Doviak AV Club The cause and extent of the damage remains to be seen, but here's hoping the Barry Allen who deals with it is closer to the spirited optimist of the first season than the mopey maker of bad decisions from last year. Rated: B- Oct 5, 2016 Full Review Alan Sepinwall HitFix After a promising start, last season turned into a depressing muddle. I'm hopeful that now that the timeline has mostly been reset, season 3 can have a fresh start, but this wasn't an inspiring beginning. Oct 5, 2016 Full Review Vinnie Mancuso Observer The real changes here are more emotional than grandiose. Oct 5, 2016 Full Review Li Lai Mediaversity Reviews It's so frustrating to watch Iris's potential get squandered through juvenile scenes that focus on her as Barry Allen's leading lady rather than a woman in her own right. Rated: D Aug 5, 2019 Full Review David Hogan hoganreviews.co.uk A good season overall, with some strong story arcs and a good ending to them, though it does struggle with a shift in tone and a rather flat end scene. Rated: 3/5 Feb 17, 2019 Full Review Mark Hughes Forbes Despite its flaws, the show is still a largely faithful and puts its comic book sensibilities front and center, and the cast are always wonderful.
