A moderate improvement over season 4. Like the return to format, story, Cicada as the villain is good and Tom Cavanaugh's newest Wells is a nice addition. It's right there with season 3, the only reason it's not above season 3 is Nora. She is nothing but an annoying brat over half the time, makes stupid mistakes and is just an unlikable character overall. In the end, not a bad season as long as you can tolerate Nora.
Another season that I just loved, the CGI, like the other seasons is just AMAZING and the underrated super villains aka both Cicada's are just amazing, how they develop and the reason behind them doing it is reasonable to and Nora and Thawne duo and there incorporation in the story is amazing and makes sense, how Nora just got her speed and needs help so goes to Thawne and Thawne helps/uses her and teach her the ways of the flash, yes she acts not her age but cut her some slack, she just got her speed and went to go see her dead dad and nicer version of her mom and the side characters like Sherloque is just amazing and how Ralph going from baby giraffe to adult giraffe is funny and amazing, and the ending is so sad but so good, love it all, highly recommend this season.
This season wasn't as good as I wanted it to be. But, Cicada was a very good villain but I feel like his daughter was unnecessary. The suit the flash used was just disappointing and the plot for reverse flash was just too overused for me.
A downgrade in comparison to season 4 and in don’t liked the finale and the female cicada was horrible
Good plot, excellent stories and twists. Enjoyable series
The Flash: Season 5 is a bad season. The CGI sucks, the characters are the only thing keeping this review from 2 stars, the villain is the worst villain yet, and the ending is bad.
It's not bad, but the show it's starting to have ridiculous and childish dialogues.
The Flash Season 5 is riddled with multiple writing issues. It also has a terrible villain and a lot of it's episodes are filler. The background villain is very interesting and well executed however. Nora can be really annoying and does not act like a real 26 year old would. This season focuses WAY to much on it's side characters and sidelines The Flash yet again. It still has enough enjoyment to not be absolutely terrible.
a slight improvement over the previous season, although this is when the Flash suit starts to look like Pajamas.
This season is a combination of bad and good. The show should have ended here in season 5. Action is great but it could have been better. Acting is good. CGI is great. Villain (Cicada) is worse than bad, but Thawn as usual always finds a way to impress us. I don't understand why Barry couldn't have just called Oliver Queen/Green Arrow and let him deal with Cicada. Writing is good-great. Story/plot is good-great. Casting is ok. Characters, I love Nora such an underrated character, she should get her own show with Bart. Character development has decreased & increased. I only like Ralph, Joe, Cisco, Sherloque, Nora, Barry, & Thawn. Adventure is bad-ok. Nice crossover "Elseworlds" (Flash S5:E9 & Arrow S7:E9 & Supergirl S4:E9(I think it's the best crossover in the Arrowverse). And a good ending. But the suit sucked (more accurately the cowl in this case a helmet).
