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. Oct 26, 2016 | Full Review… Jen Neal SciFiNow View All Critic Reviews (22) Audience Reviews for The Flash: Season 3 5d ago This season starts off with a bang, introducing us to the Flashpoint arch, but sadly butchers the classic comic storyline by only using it in one episode. The rest of the season in terms of story is very jumbled, containing many great moments and episodes with a lot going on. The cast continues to shine and I've got to say Carlos Valdes, Danielle Panabaker, Tom Cavanagh, Candice Patton, and Jesse L. Martin, are fantastic in the show (and always have been) but this season they all really get to shine in terms of character development and great interactions with one another proving they are much more than a cast, but a family. The introduction of Kid-Flash is nice and the villain is the worst, but Grant has a nice turn portraying both characters. A nice season but has some story problems that could've been more interesting. Price P 6d ago An enjoyable season with some great episodes and Savitar was an enjoyable villain too. However, the way they handled Flashpoint was bad and I think the season would've been better if it was shorter. Joe H Jul 11, 2019 dull predictable and just downright bad christopher p Jun 29, 2019 Here's where the show starts to get bad but season three still is fun and has TOM FELTON in it which boosts the entertainment value. Adam J May 25, 2019 Some missteps here and there, but overall still a really enjoyable season. Israel K Apr 29, 2019 This is definitely the season that I'll disagree with other fans the most. I liked the new characters like HR and Julian. They added new personalities to the team that was fresh and funny to see the rest of the team deal with their personalities. I love when shows leave me on the edge of my seat wanting more after every episode. I also love when they create story lines that keep you guessing. I had so many theories for who Savitar was, and they changed almost on a weekly basis. I thought there was a solid mix of humor and intensity. Although I think we all knew Iris wouldn't end up dead by the end of the season, it was fun crafting theories about how it would turn out. HR is easily my favorite single season character on this show to this point. Stephen I Mar 27, 2019 Could have been much much better and suffered from many plot holes. Owen L Mar 16, 2019 Savitar is such a dead villain, flash is still good and isnâ??t as bad as other shows worst season but itâ??s still disappointing as they could have stretched out half a season of flashpoint. Still not bad Sankar P Feb 07, 2019 despite rather interesting setups, Season 3 (with a few exceptions) fails to succeed in an actual emotion-tugging plot with a rather disappointing villain, the rest of the cast try there best, but this season leaves us wishing it was on a different channel L J Jan 20, 2019 In a way this was both the best and worst season of The Flash. It improved on everything that bothered me in the first two season which was mostly its incapability to keep my attention. But then everything I loved about the first two seasons seem to have vanished, which is mostly the characters So I was more interested and had more fun while watching this season, but at the same time I cared less about what happened on the screen. The overall plot was a bit messy and this show has more paradoxes than episodes, but I can forgive it for that. What I cannot forgive it for is ruining its own characters and making me not care for anyone but Cisco. Cisco does remain an amazing character that I love a lot.. so yeah, overall I have very mixed feelings about this season!
