What to Know

Critics Consensus

"King Shark" smartly shifts between action and emotion as viewers are shown both a villainous man shark ripping off rooves and a strong performance from Grant Gustin as the guilt-ridden Barry.

Seeing King Shark is always a delight, but this episode is at its best when it covers emotional ground - particularly with the West family. Go to Full Review Jonathon Dornbush Entertainment Weekly 07/26/2018
King Shark is on the loose after tricking his way out of an A.R.G.U.S. facility, but don't worry, we're not gonna need a bigger recap to handle all the CGI fun of The Flash's first post-Earth-2 episode. Go to Full Review Scott Von Doviak AV Club 07/24/2018

All will be revealed eventually, to be sure, and maybe it will be worth the wait. But with each passing week, season two plays more and more like a confused and disjointed rehash of its predecessor. Go to Full Review Joseph McCabe Nerdist 08/07/2018
It's also impressive how well The Flash balances high-stakes drama with humor, and without making most of it appear forced. It's like Buffy the Vampire Slayer minus the Whedony dialogue. Go to Full Review Charlie Hall Polygon 08/06/2018
For all its over-the-top moments, the entire hour had a kind of lightness to it. It was the bounty that only a 12-foot tall metahuman man shark can bring. Go to Full Review Susana Polo Polygon 08/03/2018
What you need to understand is this: In a genre notorious for convoluted continuity, gritty reboots and decades of history...There is no explanation for King Shark. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
