[Cicada] remains a weak link, with a simplistic motivation and an even sketchier plan...but despite that, "Seeing Red" is a solid hour of The Flash. Go to Full Review Chancellor Agard Entertainment Weekly 01/23/2019
Given the show's past experiences with dark storylines, no one would fault you for being worried about the episode, but I was surprised by the fact that it mostly worked. Go to Full Review Michael Patterson What Culture 05/16/2019
If the purpose of any episode is to accelerate the story, up the ante and make us even more invested in the show we're watching, then 'Seeing Red' ticked all the boxes. Go to Full Review Jessie Robertson Flickering Myth 04/24/2019

Huge disappointment on all fronts -- tone, story, acting, excitement. One of the worst Flash episodes in the history of the show to me. Go to Full Review Jeffrey Lyles Lyles' Movie Files 04/17/2019
8/10
Besides a few very questionable missteps, Seeing Red was one of the better episodes this season. For the most part characters acted consistently with their regular portrayals and Team Flash made some serious strides in their conflict with Cicada.

4/5
The villainous Cicada is back in..."Seeing Red," and though the character continues the show's dismal record with season-long Big Bads to date, his return hints that maybe it doesn't need one, as such. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
