Episodes
Scientist Barry Allen acquires super speed through a freak accident and becomes known as the Fastest Man Alive. In the opener, Barry, a CSI investigator, is struck by lightning and awakens from a coma nine months later with the gift of super speed. Barry puts his new powers to work when another meta-human attacks the city.
Barry changes into the Flash when six gunmen storm a university event honoring a scientist, but his heroics don't match up to his expectations. Meanwhile, Iris becomes even more intrigued by the "red streak."
Barry and the team go after the Mist, who possesses toxic gas powers, and they reflect on the night Caitlin's fiancé died. Meanwhile, Henry gets a long-awaited visit from Joe; and Iris and Eddie continue to keep their romance a secret from Joe.
The Flash battles Captain Cold after the villain is involved in a robbery and plots to steal the Kahndaq Dynasty Diamond. The evil plans get a boost when the Captain gets his hands on a stolen "cold gun" that could kill the Flash.
A bomb explodes downtown and the army, led by General Eiling, comes in and takes over the investigation, much to Joe's dismay. Meanwhile, Wells informs the team that Eiling experimented on his men to turn them into super soldiers; and Joe tries to get Iris to stop writing about "the streak."
The Flash faces a new meta-human named Tony, who can turn himself into girded steel, but Cisco comes up with a plan to take Tony down. Meanwhile, Iris gets in trouble over her blog; Eddie witnesses Tony's abilities and asks questions that Joe doesn't want answered; and Joe asks Dr. Wells to help him solve Nora Allen's murder.
The Flash battles Farooq (aka Blackout), a metahuman who can harness electricity. During their fight, Farooq siphons all of the Flash's electricity, which zaps him of his speed. Meanwhile, Tockman leads a coup inside the Central City police department and takes several people hostage, including Joe and Iris.
A crossover event that concludes on "Arrow" begins with Barry teaming with Oliver Queen to stop a meta-human who is using his ability to control people's emotions to rob banks. Meanwhile, Eddie tries to get a task force to stop the Flash; and Caitlin and Cisco deal with a new team in S.T.A.R. Labs.
Barry faces his nemesis Reverse Flash, who killed his mother, and plots with Wells and Cisco to trap him. Meanwhile, Eddie gives Iris a surprising gift at Christmas and leaves her with a question that could change her life.
Captain Cold and his hotheaded partner Heat Wave plot to steal a multi-million dollar painting and try to lure the Flash into a battle of fire and ice by kidnapping someone close to him. Meanwhile, Barry asks Dr. Wells, Caitlin and Cisco to double his training efforts so he is ready when the Reverse Flash returns; and Iris deals with the aftermath of Barry's confession.

Critic Reviews for The Flash Season 1
All Critics (63) | Top Critics (32) | Fresh (60) | Rotten (3)
It does something that really no other superhero show or movie has done in a while, and that's make being superhero look really... enjoyable.
Even compared to Gotham, The Flash isn't as stylish or nuanced -- but there's a sense that's not what it wants to be. This is more classic, old-fashioned, gladly-suspend-your-disbelief entertainment.
What executive producers Andrew Kreisberg and Greg Berlanti have settled on here is a kind of family-friendly action-adventure show with a solid sense of humor about itself as well as a strong streak of sentiment about the things that really matter.
It doesn't ask for too much of its audience except to sit back and let the new adventure unfold. And, did I mention it was fun?
He's a little different from many contemporary comic superheroes, though, in that he rarely jumps off the screen. He's more subtle, which distributes the drama load around the rest of the cast.
Gustin's Allen certainly has his melancholy moments, but they disperse as quickly as a summer shower.
The Flash is off to a solid start.
The plot bumbles here and there, not with a whoosh, but more banal television thunk, thunk, oops.
At its best, the first season of The Flash is a rebuttal of toxic masculinity. On the flipside, women remain marginalized and disability is mishandled.
While The Flash might not hold up all that well, as is often the case with special effects-based series, it's still an admirable effort.
A great cheesy watch for a cold winter's eve.
Given the polish of the cast and chemistry... The CW has taken the launch of another Justice League member into live-action drama quite seriously.

Nov 16, 2020Flash season 1 was such a great 1st season for a show. I wasn't expecting this to be as good as I thought seeing how Arrow Season 1 was fantastic. This show introduces us to great characters such as Barry Allen, Iris West, Joe West, Eddie Thawn, Cisco Ramiro, Caytlin Snow, and Harrison Wells. The villain (Harrison Wells) was an amazing villain and from the first episode I thought, "Yup hes the villain" The backstory behind Barry was good. The romance between Iris and Eddie was good. The villains were good apart from a couple. I really have no complaints about this season and I highly recommend it

Jul 06, 2020An almost perfect season. The Flash season 1 brought in a show that I loved more then Arrow. Loving Barry's episode on Arrow made me excited about this show. the Reverse-Flash is an awesome villain, the idea of the Flash is also super fun. With cameos and hints at what's to come, season 1 is almost perfect to watch. Captain Cold is the best anti-hero I've seen to this point, and Firestorm is an interesting look into good Meta's besides the Flash.
