Early Reviews for the Flash:

The early reviews for the series have been mostly favorable. Most critics praise the lighter, fun tone of the series as compared to Arrow, which has a much darker tone:
From Entertainment Weekly:

It vibrates with big-picture vision and has smart fun with its premise.

From Huffington Post:

“Its sprightly first hour is one of the most solidly entertaining pilots of the fall season, and it did the most important thing that first episodes must do: It made me eager to see what comes next.”

Credits

  • Barry Allen’s father is played by John Wesley Shipp, who played Barry Allen in the 1990’s TV series. Don’t believe me? Check out the IMDB page. The early-1990’s hair is worth buying the DVD in and of itself…
  • In the comic books Iris West’s nephew is Wally West, who suffers the same accident and becomes a Flash as well. In the “New 52” (a recent reboot), Wally West is mixed race. It appears as if the show’s creators will use the new version of Wally West in the TV series.
  • In the pilot a smashed cage can be seen with the name “Grodd”. In the comics Grodd is a super-intelligent ape (the intelligence is the result of genetic experiments).
  • Caitlin Snow’s fiancee is played by Robbie Amell, the cousin of Arrow star Stephen Amell. Although thought to be killed in the same Collider explosion that gave the Flash and other meta-humans their powers, Robbie will come back as Firestorm.
  • The Flash premiered to 4.8 million viewers, which makes it the highest rated debut show for the CW since the Vampire Diaries in 2009.
