The flash season 6 review
Intro: This is going to be awkward, I mean I'm reviewing a season that's three episodes shy from being over. ( Well the production team did film the 20th episode but they won't air it because it's a filler episode, or they didn't finish filming that episode.) The reason why I reviewing this season now is that Mr. Gustin ( The actor who plays Barry Allen/The Flash.) said in an interview that the creators will wrap up the rest of season six in the next season, if he's wrong about that then I will scrap this review and start over. With that said let's get into what I think of this season so far.
The Flash season six: This season takes place four months after team flash stop cicada from committing mass murder and things have been peaceful. One day the Monitor tells Barry about the upcoming crisis so team Flash prepares for it. After the crisis, Barry learns that the speed force is damaged beyond repair and he's slowly losing his powers. Meanwhile, an organization that weaponizes metahumans called Black Hole is up to no good and someone who was a part of that group wants revenge on them. So Barry has to regain his speed and stop Black Hole before it's too late.
I'm happy to say that this series gave me a season that I enjoy since this show started. I like how this series set up crisis because it's done in a way that doesn't distract us from the main story. I'm fond of the idea of Barry losing his powers because doing that helps build suspense for this season. The last episode left me wanting to see more from this season. I appreciate that the aftermath of crisis didn't reboot everything that happen in the past six years. I'm happy that the stakes in this season are small because we needed a break from crisis.
Caitlin takes a backseat this season to give Frost a chance to have a life outside of being the muscle for team flash. This subplot was interrupted because of something the actress did. It's a good thing I'm not her boss because if I was I would reprimand her for it.
I love what this season has done with Wally West/Kid flash he's basically a zin master. It's a shame that we only get one episode with him and he wasn't in crisis.
I like what this season has done with Iris West, she now has her own newspaper company called the Central City Citizen.
Nash Well is an explorer and myth buster. What bothers me about him is the role he plays in crisis, you'll see what I mean when you watch it. Also, his subplot is taking too long to resolve.
Allegra Garcia is a meta-human with a troubled past, thanks to team flash she's able to turn her life around. I'm annoyed that I don't have a chance to sweep her off her feet. I'm sorry did I say that out loud?
I don't have much to say about Ralph Didny/ Elongated Man all he does this season is work on a case that's connected to black hole.
Kamilla Hwang is Cisco's love interest who works at the Central City Citizen. The only problem I have with her is that she's too good to be true I mean she's completely understanding about everything with Cisco. I'm not saying that there should be drama between the two however Kamilla shouldn't come off as a robot.
Eva McCulloch/ Mirror Master (The main villain.) is manipulative, paranoid and merciful. However, you do feel sorry for her after you see what happened to her. One of the many complaints I have with her (besides the gander change.) is that her goal is so small that she could have been a monster of the week. Also, we barely see her and the flash faces each other because Eva manages to keep a low profile.
The biggest problem with this season is the downside of the last episode, it left things unresolved. I don't like how this season handles Godspeed, if you know who him from the comic you'll understand why. This series treats him like a side villain. Really he shouldn't be in this series because we already had a speedster who considers himself a GOD and that's Savitar. The drama of Barry dying in crisis amount to nothing because that didn't happen. (Don't you dare say I spoiled it for you, you had 5 months to watch that crossover.) This season could have been better if it didn't have too many characters, plus the show didn't do much with them. Another thing that would help this season is it should have been about Barry/the Flash dealing with the aftermath of the crisis, the show did do that however it wasn't the main focus. This season gives us a hint to how Barry is going to fix his powers and it's lame and cheesy. I mean on a Power Rangers level.
This season may not be as good as the first season or better than the rest of the series however it's easier to watch. I would recommend this if you enjoy this show overall.
