10 Harsh Realities Of Rewatching The Flash After Its Impressive 9-Season Run

:0:0

Summary

The Flash's budget constraints affected the show's visual effects and fight scenes, hindering its overall quality and impact.
The acting on The Flash was inconsistent throughout its nine-season run, although certain cast members consistently delivered strong performances.
The reliance on speedster villains became repetitive and predictable, overlooking the potential of other compelling foes from the comics.

The Flash ran for nine seasons on The CW, and now that the Arrowverse series has ended, a rewatch of The Flash should bring along some harsh realizations. The DC Universe on TV, the Arrowverse, started in 2012 with Stephen Amell's Arrow. It was on that show that Grant Gustin debuted as Barry Allen, playing Barry before he got his powers over two episodes of Arrow's season 2 in 2013. The Flash season 1 premiere would come to screens in 2014, with Gustin cementing himself as one of the Arrowverse's faces, going on to star in nine seasons of The Flash and appear in several Arrowverse crossover events.
After an impressive nine-season run, The Flash came to a stop. The end of the series was important not only due to it closing out Gustin's long journey as Barry Allen but also putting an end to all the Arrowverse shows. The Flash captivated audiences right from its first episode, with Gustin's speedster remaining popular with DC fans all the way to the series' conclusion. Despite Gustin's popularity and The Flash being the longest-running Arrowverse series, the show was not without its faults, and a rewatch of The Flash's nine seasons reveals exactly what the series got wrong.
