As always, both the major and minor crossovers tend to benefit the "Arrow" characters more, because they're so much darker by default, even though most of their actors often seem more comfortable doing light comedy. Go to Full Review Angelica Jade Bastién New York Magazine/Vulture 07/26/2018

I've been harsh on The Flash this season because I expect better. Go to Full Review Jonathon Dornbush Entertainment Weekly 07/26/2018
Barry Allen is having a tough year. So it only makes sense to call in a little back-up when things in Central City take a turn for the mystical during "Legends of Today." Go to Full Review Joseph McCabe Nerdist 08/07/2018
There's just so many great little moments in this week's Flash - and I'm hesitant to even call it that, because it's really episode 0 of the upcoming spinoff show. Go to Full Review Charlie Hall Polygon 08/03/2018
I liked the episode, in spite of its pace. So far this season of The Flash has been all about multiple, rapid fire, nearly nonsensical plotlines. But they've all been bound together with solid acting and emotional arcs that have kept me invested. Go to Full Review Jesse Schedeen IGN Movies 08/03/2018
It's nice that this episode didn't completely ignore the ongoing conflict with Zoom, especially as the main storyline was devoted to setting up a completely different TV show. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
