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.

      He’s kind of overrated to be honest. Never really felt like a true #1 or elevated his play to become a guy the defense really has to worry about.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
