Could stand on its own to anyone who doesn't like/watch Arrow... If I were a fan of just The Flash, I don't think I would have felt ripped off by what the series had to offer tonight. And as someone who watches and enjoys both, this was a real treat. Go to Full Review Chancellor Agard Entertainment Weekly 07/20/2018
I had high expectations... And I can gladly say I was not disappointed. "Flash vs. Arrow" delivers on both the action front and on the character front. Go to Full Review Scott Von Doviak AV Club 07/19/2018

It's funny, it's clever, and it succinctly reveals a lot about both characters. Go to Full Review Marc Buxton CBR 07/25/2018
If producers want to turn The Flash and Arrow into a classic team-up a la Superman and Batman, they'd have to nail a dynamic that ensures when its two very different heroes meet up, it's something very special. And "Flash vs. Arrow" was just that. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
