Critics Consensus

"Goldfaced" takes a refreshing detour from The Flash's normal formula, as Barry hangs up his superhero suit to go undercover with Ralph for a stealthy mission in the black market.

B

The minimalism of "Goldfaced" suggests a show that has gone over-budget elsewhere and needs to make up the cost overruns, but it mostly works as an effective change of pace.

If you've been reading these recaps, then you probably guessed that I loved this entire storyline because it was great to see Iris have some agency and use her reporting skills to help the team.

Fun, fun episode and it shows that Ralph's got a lot to offer on the team still...or is he funnier when Cisco is gone? Plus, not much Cicada so that helps as well!

8.5/10

Goldfaced marked two strong consecutive episodes for The Flash. There's still enough episodes left that it could win me over all the way. These next few episodes will be critical in this case. Let's see how it plays out.

3.5/5

There's a distinct lack of superpowers on... "Goldfaced," but the almost complete absence of meta abilities this week actually makes for a better and more entertaining story.

While the storylining behind the team's Goldface mission was problematic...it's hard to deny that it was an enjoyable adventure.
