For the show to succeed, its villains must be as compelling as its heroes. Go to Full Review Chancellor Agard Entertainment Weekly 07/27/2018

The Flash definitely reused Arrow's hospital set. Go to Full Review Scott Von Doviak AV Club 07/25/2018

Devoting time to these character interactions is a smart move following all the timeline shenanigans. Go to Full Review Molly Templeton Reactor 08/24/2018
Women are loved, on this show, but they're rarely given equal freedom or power. Wells letting go, and letting Jesse shine, was a long time coming. Go to Full Review Ja-Quan Greene Black Nerd Problems 08/03/2018
