Why hasn't there been a thread made for this show yet? Binged the first season on Netflix and have been slowing catching up with season 2 on CW. After getting into The Flash I've been back tracking to get caught up with Arrow and starting legends of tomorrow. All are really good and the tv universe CW and DC have made is really fun and entertaining. It's given me a deeper appreciation for The Flash and his lore than I had previously.

 

how many have you guys have seen the show?

Been watching since the beginning.

I love Flash. It's a good show, but suffers from the same bad acting at times that Arrow does. Not all, but a few just seem...off. But it is CW, not a bigger network. Flash has been better this season than Arrow though. Though, Arrow has gotten pretty good the past couple of weeks.

I have not caught up on Legends of Tomorrow like I should. Saw the pilot, but haven't been keeping up. Probably should, as it is supposed to crossover with Flash and Arrow soon from what I hear.

Yeah it has some bad acting and some wonky plot stuff, like Barry's secret identity being incredibly obvious to everyone, star labs having zero security, etc but that's what I love about it. It's fun and not too serious but still has great stories. I'm only on arrow season one but I love that show aswell. The CW knows how to make serial shows like this

The Flash is the best superhero show going right now. It's fun, not too heavy and they really do their best to work with the original comics. Great for the whole family and my kids love it.

Arrow's a bit more soap opera-ey and Legends of Tomorrow has its moments. Both are good fun. Now CBS's Supergirl... it just seems to be missing on some of the cylinders and I'm having a hard time suspending my disbelief and just enjoying it. I think the Calista Flockhart character actually ruins the whole premise and it suffers from really lazy writing and some of the worst acting on TV.

Haven't watched super girl, probably won't  and only see her when she comes on for crossovers. But I agree the show is so much fun. When Cisco meets reverb that was amazing. Can't wait to see how this season ends.

I watch and enjoy both Flash and Arrow.  Acting is somewhat indifferent to me.  None of the actors are so bad that it stands out and ruins the show, but none are likely to ever be breakout movie stars either.  However, the stories and such are just good fun and can be interesting.  I really think the Joe character on Flash puts it a step ahead of Arrow.  He is kind of the father figure that binds everyone together and gives it heart, and that's something that is missing from Arrow.  And I really love when the two shows crossovers.  The actors on both shows do have good chemistry together.

I am trying to get into Legends of Tomorrow, but IMO the casting choices are horrid.  That Hawkgirl is a hideous actress and the girl that plays Sarah cannot act her way out of a paper bag.  And the future guy (Rip Hunter) has zero charisma and is one of the most boring characters I have seen.  He'd be ok in a sidekick role like he had on Doctor Who, but he has no business being in such a prominent role as he is here.

Yeah, I gotta agree. While I do enjoy Legends of Tomorrow, the whole Hawkgirl thing is just well, hokey, particularly because the actress playing her was chosen for looks rather than talent. She's pretending, not acting, and it's really evident. They also keep pushing the White Canary actress and she's just not got it. I think it is suffering from bad directing more than anything.

I never hear anyone talking about it anymore so I assumed that the second season dropped off in quality

Second season is probably better than the first imo. Who Zoom is and the dynamics of the multiverse with earth 2 are really interesting and compelling. The writing for the flash is top notch I think. I could see this series getting a 10 season run no problem

I worry Arrow hit peak in Season 2 with Deathstroke, much like Dexter did in Season 4 with Lithgow.  It's super hard to continue on after you've nailed it with a villain already.   I wouldn't even mind a rematch but I heard DC took Deathstroke/Deadshot off limits to TV now.

      Best way to Stream

      The new (released today) FOX ONE app will allow you access to watch your Local FOX Station - similar to how the Paramount Plus app allows you access to watch your local CBS station It'll cost you $20/month for the privilege, but if you're having trouble accessing the over-the-air antenna for FOX, this could be an option to consider the new ESPN app will give you access to ESPN content, but not to the local ABC affiliate. A reminder: if you currently get ESPN via some TV provider (cable, satellite, youtube, etc) then you should be able to use the new ESPN app via your provider login, no additional payment required

      XL went to one of the worst teams in the NFL.  One that features a weak passing O and bad overall QB play on the season.   XL is getting way too much hate IMO.   He had an okay rookie season all things considered.   Very much on par w/ prospects that projected around the same area with him.   Panthers made a 2nd rounder a first round technicality for that contract.  XL also getting this weird kicker type blame for games.  XL somehow single handedly lost us games on one play.....and then we ignore the rest of the team that went about losing the game for 4 quarters.   Should he of caught the Philly ball? 100%.  The O and D still played like garbage that entire game.  Even after the drop, Panthers had two shots starting w/ a 3rd and 4 to convert.  They kept playing bad instead.  And even if we XL made the play....Philly would have had a minute and half to get into FG range to win it.  Who is banking on the Panther D getting that stop?  also, I am deemed Mr. Negative, yet here I am defending a no good dirty Gamecock lol
