The Arrow spin off CW TV show The Flash starring Grant Austin as Barry Allen.
I am a huge fan of Arrow so I was all for it when I heard The Flash was in the making. I thought it was really cool how they brought him in Arrow for a couple episodes before he turned into The Flash. The Vampire Diaries did the same thing with The Originals. But I find The Flash to be a tad bit cheezy. With the exception of Grant Austin as Barry Allen, I'm not a fan of the cast at all. Grant Austin fits the role of Barry Allen perfectly and I find him to be the only good thing about the show. But his acting and personality wont stand a chance against the terrible acting from the supporting cast.
I still watch it every week but I seem to always be let down with the plot lines and guest actors. Maybe my expectations are too high. I mean, once I found out that this was happening last year I was ecstatic. The whodoneit type murder mysteries have been overkill lately and adding the spin of being fast finding meta-humans isn't fascinating enough.
I may be the only one who's having a hard time because this show according to the cancellation/renewal Bear predicts this 4/5 stars for renewal. My point is I hope I find it more interesting to continue watching. Because right now I have 24 other shows that are way more appealing. I want to love this show SO bad! But its already 7 episodes deep and I'm bored and almost over it. Now that I have a new 9-5 job, this may just be the series to weed out and wait for it on Netflix.
Tell me what you think. Do you agree or disagree? Should I give it a couple more weeks or stop after this past week's episode?

I've only seen four episodes of this show so far but I really like it. I watch Arrow as well but I sort of like the balance of having Arrow, a super serious show, with Flash, which is more light-hearted. I'm wondering if Flash is also supposed to be geared at more of the teen crowd.
ReplyDeleteI definitely don't find myself craving for more after each episode though as I do with Arrow. It's more of a show that I watch when I want something a bit more on the humor/nerdy side.
I love Arrow. I'm a huge fan of the supporting cast for Arrow though Laurel is getting on my nerves, I still root for them. But you are right this is a darker serious show compared to The Flash. Maybe it is geared to a younger audience because my friends agree its hard to relate to the supporting cast and plot wise something seems off.
DeleteI completely agree with you about craving Arrow over The Flash. I cant get enough! I'm really glad the rating is doing well.
Thanks for stopping by!
