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.

Jeff Beck The Blu Spot The show's pattern may be overly-familiar at this point, but even in its eighth year, it still provides a solid amount of entertainment as it prepares to deliver what is sure to be an epic final season. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 18, 2022 Full Review Charles E. Henning Tell-Tale TV There is just enough excitement to get us to the next episode without making things too overly convoluted. Hopefully, it stays that way. Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 18, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Wyatt C finished this season today and man i really enjoyed this one my fav Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review Plus U Good. The Armageddon arc is the best. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/25/25 Full Review Pancapeczka G They finaly reminded themselfes how to make good series, armageddon was good, deathstorm arc and last 4 episodes was Perfect, they showed that 2 villains can be good. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/24/23 Full Review American M This is way better from season 6 and season 7, the Armageddon story line in the beginning is just the best, Barry thinking he is losing his mind but really it's the Reverse Flash who was doing it and then RF disappearing from time so they gotta take his speed and then stop the very mad alien and of course, get those very nice shiny boots. Then after that you get a fire that's cold but hot and feeds off fear, tricks Caitlin, the "HUGE SPOILER" FROST DIES even though you think she was gunna live, nope, she dies and the next episode is very sweet, then getting over frost and giving her a nice burial, then after that it's heart broken Caitlin trying to remake frost which then leads to the saddest ending with Barry destroying everything in her room and everything she worked on and then Caitlin with the help of chill blame becomes something else, season 9 coming soon. Also highly recommend this season to anyone who wants to watch it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/27/23 Full Review Luchidavi Best tv series of all time Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/03/23 Full Review Superhero F Another terrible one. The first few episodes the flash was fighting a fire. Yes, A FIRE…… Not entertaining at all. The lightsaber scene carried the season😂 Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 08/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
