More Show More Episodes Critic Reviews for The Flash Season 3 All Critics (22) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (19) | Rotten (3) The real changes here are more emotional than grandiose. Oct 5, 2016 | Full Review… Vinnie Mancuso Observer Top Critic 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. Feb 17, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… David Hogan hoganreviews.co.uk Once again, the series found gold in exploring how familiar characters have been reshaped by their new reality. And Barry's emotional journey continues to anchor the show. Oct 5, 2016 | Full Review… Eric Goldman IGN Movies 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. Jul 11, 2018 | Full Review… Mark Hughes Forbes Wow - what a way to close out Season 3! Tonight "The Flash" delivered an emotional, intense, and unexpected season finale. Dec 12, 2017 | Full Review… Lauren Gallaway CBR Like Arrow, there's a wide berth to do things differently next season, and considering how dark Flash Season 3 managed to skew, that overhaul is sorely needed. Remember when Season 1 had a fun wedding, daytime and all? Oct 16, 2017 | Full Review… Kevin Fitzpatrick ScreenCrush It's a risk having your superhero portrayed as an imperfect vessel who commits villain-like acts, but such is the maturity and complexity of The Flash. Sep 27, 2017 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review… J.C. Maçek III PopMatters The Flash: The Complete Third Season is a return to greatness for one of the very best superhero shows on TV. Sep 4, 2017 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Jeff Beck The Blu Spot Overall, we're off to a promising start to The Flash Season 3, even if the concept of flashpoint itself was a bit of a letdown. It was a good launching pad. Jan 22, 2017 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Carissa Pavlica TV Fanatic Watching the yellow blur saving the city is fresh, having not being given much of a chance to shine in the last season, it's brilliant to finally see Lonsdale get something to play with.
