| ShortSummary    = [[Barry Allen (Arrowverse)|Barry Allen]], a forensic crime scene assistant for [[Central City (Arrowverse)|Central City]] Police Department, is struck by lightning during a storm that is created after a particle accelerator from [[S.T.A.R. Labs (Arrowverse)|S.T.A.R. Labs]] explodes. In a coma for nine months, Barry awakens in S.T.A.R. Labs, having been placed in the care of its founder [[Harrison Wells]] and his assistants [[Caitlin Snow (Arrowverse)|Dr. Caitlin Snow]] and [[Cisco Ramon (Arrowverse)|Cisco Ramon]]. Barry learns that he can move at extraordinary speeds, and that there were other "[[metahuman]]s" created from the explosion. One of them, [[Weather Wizard|Clyde Mardon]], is robbing banks with his ability to control the weather. In order to stop Mardon, Barry is outfitted with a suit, designed by Cisco, that can withstand his high speed. He tracks down Mardon and with Detective [[Joe West (Arrowverse)|Joe West]], who learns of Barry's abilities, Barry is able to stop Mardon, who is killed by Joe. With his new powers, Barry vows to exonerate his father, [[Henry Allen (The Flash)|Henry]], who is incarcerated for murdering his wife, [[Nora Allen (Arrowverse)|Nora]], whom Barry witnessed, at a young age, being killed by another metahuman. He chooses the alias "Flash" for his alter ego. Wells, secretly revealed to be neither paraplegic nor needing glasses, reads a newspaper from 2024 stating the missing status of the Flash.

| colspan="6" style="border-bottom: solid 3px #A62A0F" |Barry Allen, a forensic analyst for the CCPD still haunted by witnessing his mother Nora’s impossible murder and his father Henry’s wrongful imprisonment, is struck by a blue-white bolt of lightning when Mercury Labs’ experimental particle accelerator catastrophically explodes, sending a radiation wave across the city. After nine months in a coma, Barry wakes inside Mercury Labs under the care of Dr. Harrison Wells, bioengineer Caitlin Frost, and tech genius Cisco Ramon, who reveal the lightning rewrote his cells and granted him super-speed, hyper-reflexes, and rapid healing. As Barry struggles to resume work, a surge of strange crimes grips Central City, including targeted bank robberies driven by unnatural storms created by Clyde Mardon, a former pilot mutated into a weather-manipulating metahuman by the accelerator blast. Realizing the city has more victims—and threats—like him, Barry embraces his powers, dons a reinforced suit designed by Cisco, and teams with Detective Joe West to stop Mardon in a deadly confrontation that ends with Joe killing him to save Barry. Determined to use his abilities to protect the innocent and clear his father’s name, Barry adopts the identity of “The Flash,” unaware Wells is secretly studying him and monitoring a future headline predicting the Flash’s mysterious disappearance.

| ShortSummary    = In flashbacks, it is revealed that Joe became Barry's legal guardian but did not let him visit Henry in prison at the latter's request. Barry begins using his abilities to stop minor crimes and help citizens across the city while starting to develop debilitating side effects. While guiding [[Iris West (Arrowverse)|Iris West]], who seeks his help to do her school assignment, Barry witnesses a robbery by a crew of men, but passes out while trying to stop them. The S.T.A.R. Labs team determines that Barry becomes [[hypoglycemic]] from the use of his abilities due to a sped-up metabolism and needs to ingest more calories to maintain his energy level. The team eventually learns that there is actually one robber, [[Danton Black (Arrowverse)|Danton Black]], who has the ability to create clones of himself. Black intends to kill his former employer [[Simon Stagg (Arrowverse)|Simon Stagg]], who stole Black's cloning research. With encouragement from Joe, Barry goes after Black and successfully stops him. However, Black commits suicide. Afterward, Barry accepts Joe's help in the investigation of Nora's murder. Later, Wells visits Stagg, who has already become obsessed with the Flash and plans to exploit them as he did to Black. Wells then kills Stagg.

| ShortSummary    = As the police investigate the murder of one of the city's crime families, Barry suspects that the killer may be a metahuman who can control poison gases. As Barry and Joe work to discover the killer's identity, Wells and his team work to retrofit the particle accelerator into a prison for metahumans where they can begin to find a way of reversing their mutations. This brings up difficult feelings and memories for Snow, whose fiancé, [[Ronnie Raymond (Arrowverse)|Ronnie Raymond]], was killed by the explosion. The team identifies the killer as [[Kyle Nimbus (Arrowverse)|Kyle Nimbus]], discovering that Nimbus does not control gases, but transforms his body into them. The team learns that Joe, the lead detective in the original case, is Nimbus' next target. Barry races to Iron Heights Prison to save Joe's life, forcing Nimbus to overexert himself so that he can apprehend him. The team locks Nimbus into a cell they have made. In a flashback to when the accelerator explodes, Wells is seen going into his hidden room and viewing a surveillance video of Barry getting struck by lightning in his lab.

| ShortSummary    = Wells begins testing Barry's powers by having him perform multiple tasks at superspeed. In the middle of the tests, a group of men attempt to hijack an armored truck carrying a diamond on its way to a museum. Barry races over and stops the crime, later identifying [[Leonard Snart (Arrowverse)|Leonard Snart]] from a set of police mugshots. [[Felicity Smoak (Arrowverse)|Felicity Smoak]] arrives to check on Barry, after learning that he woke from his coma. Barry introduces her to his friends at S.T.A.R. Labs. Realising that the Flash, also known as the "Streak", is a man and not some kind of drone like the rest of his crew believe, Snart acquires a couple of items of stolen tech to help him continue without any powers. This includes a [[Cryonics|cryonic]] gun taken from S.T.A.R. Labs. He begins surveilling the diamond at the museum, but is seen and forced to use his cold gun to escape. Cisco reveals that he created the gun as a fail-safe against Barry should he become a villain like the other metahumans they have encountered. Felicity helps the team locate Snart, who is now working on his own, when he sets a trap for Barry. Cisco, Caitlin, and Felicity arrive in time to save Barry, and Snart is able to escape. Joe finally accepts Iris's relationship with Eddie Thawne, his partner. Wells demands Cisco not to build another fail-safe against Barry again. Barry kisses Felicity goodbye. Later, Snart tracks down his [[Mick Rory (Arrowverse)|former partner]], who has an affinity for fire, and offers him the other weapon he stole and a place by Snart's side taking back Central City from the Flash.

| ShortSummary    = [[Bette Sans Souci (Arrowverse)|Bette Sans Souci]], a metahuman with the ability to turn anything she touches into an explosive, appears in Central City. She is being hunted by [[General Wade Eiling (Arrowverse)|General Wade Eiling]], and is a former military explosives expert. Barry brings her to S.T.A.R. Labs where the team explains to her that she was changed by the particle accelerator, which bonded bomb shrapnel to her body on a cellular level; and they cannot reverse the process. Secretly, Wells convinces Bette to kill Eiling. Barry races to stop her, and Eiling shoots her, who dies after mentioning Wells' name. Her body turns into a bomb. Barry speeds off with the body and drops it in the river to save the city from the massive explosion. Eiling visits Wells, demanding that they work together once again, this time to collect metahumans. Wells refuses and warns Eiling to never return to S.T.A.R. Labs. Meanwhile, Barry ends his friendship with Iris after she refuses his advice not to write about the "Streak". In a flashback set five years previously, Wells tells Eiling he is ending their experiments. After Eiling leaves, Wells walks to a cage and tells [[Gorilla Grodd (Arrowverse)|Gorilla Grodd]] that he has plans for him.

| ShortSummary    = Barry speeds off to stop a car thief; but the thief's skin turns to steel and Barry breaks his hand while punching. He runs back to the lab before he can be hurt further. The thief is identified as [[Tony Woodward (Arrowverse)|Tony Woodward]], Barry's childhood bully. Back at the lab, Cisco determines that if Barry can hit Woodward with a specific [[velocity]] at right angle, then he can create enough force to compromise Woodward's metal structure. Woodward kidnaps Iris and demands that she write about him. Barry arrives and manages to temporarily disable Woodward's abilities. Afterward, Woodward is locked away at S.T.A.R. Labs and finds out that Barry is the Flash, the name Iris also uses in her blog on the advice of Barry, who reconciles with her. Meanwhile, Joe continues investigating Nora's murder and gets suspicious of Wells, who opened S.T.A.R. Labs one month after Nora's murder; but Wells states that he came to Central City because of his wife's death. Joe, convinced that Wells is not involved, is visited by the mysterious second speedster who killed Nora, stealing the case file and threatening Iris's life if Joe does not drop his investigation.

| ShortSummary    = Wells returns to his secret room, where it is revealed that he has been documenting Barry's abilities, and using his [[artificial intelligence]], [[Gideon (The Flash)|Gideon]], to look at events in the future. Barry arrives at a crime scene where the victim was murdered via electrocution, and charred beyond recognition, suggesting a metahuman was involved. While investigating the victim's identity, the team identifies a power drain in the city. When Barry arrives, he is attacked by [[Farooq Gibran]], a man who has the ability to siphon electrical energy. The attack drains Barry of his speed, and Gideon reveals to Wells that there are currently no references to the Flash in the future. Wells realizes that Barry's problem is psychological. Gibran attacks S.T.A.R. Labs, kills Woodward and Wells' life gets in danger, forcing Barry to overcome his fear, connect to his speed and kill Gibran. Meanwhile, [[William Tockman (Arrowverse)|Tockman]] starts a hostage crisis at a police station and critically shoots Eddie; but Iris manages to stop him and he is rearrested. Later, Wells sees that the timeline is safe, and takes a sample of Gibran's blood to determine how he was able to drain Barry's abilities.

| ShortSummary    = The yellow-suited speedster who killed Nora Allen returns, in search of Mercury Lab's [[tachyon]] particle technology. Barry encounters the "[[Reverse-Flash]]" and engages him but is swiftly defeated, with the villain insinuating that he and Barry have been lifelong enemies. Ronnie is revealed as the flame-controlling metahuman, suffering from memory-loss after having survived the explosion. Per Henry's advice, Barry confesses his love for Iris before the tachyon particle technology is used as bait to lure the Reverse-Flash into a trap.

| ShortSummary    = Cisco discovers that Eobard has been supercharging his speed through his wheelchair, which is why he is so much faster than Barry. The particle accelerator is activated by Eobard, who has managed to repair it. The team is able to find and rescue Eddie, who ends his relationship with Iris. Worried that the metahumans imprisoned inside the particle accelerator will be killed when it reaches full power, the team plans to relocate them to Oliver's prison on Lian Yu. In order to set up a safe transport, Barry requests Leonard's help. Leonard agrees but only after Barry erases all of Leonard's criminal record. Leonard and Lisa sabotage the transport and allow the metahumans to escape, killing [[Jake Simmons (Arrowverse)|Jake Simmons]] however. Eobard arrives back at the lab just as the accelerator fully charges. Barry, Firestorm and Oliver all meet outside to fight Reverse-Flash. They coordinate their efforts; Oliver stops him with a nanite injection that disables Eobard's speed and knocks him out. Oliver leaves after informing Barry of an upcoming help request.

| ShortSummary    = Barry visits Thawne in the particle accelerator prison, where Thawne reveals he killed Nora because of hating the Flash, whose future self saved him. Eobard requests Barry to help create a [[wormhole]] where Thawne can return to his time, while also allowing Barry to save Nora. Caitlin and Ronnie get married. Eobard tells Cisco that the latter's ability to recall events of alternate timelines was acquired from the particle accelerator explosion. Barry decides to go through with Thawne's offer. The latter states that Barry will have only a short time, or else the wormhole will become a [[black hole]]. Barry travels back in time, but his future self signals him not to save Nora. The present Barry returns and stops Thawne from returning to his time. The two fight, while the team shuts down the wormhole. Thawne eventually prevails, but before he can kill Barry, Eddie shoots himself, causing Thawne's existence to cease. The wormhole reappears, and the team is unable to prevent it from becoming a black hole. As the black hole begins to tear the city apart, pulling Eddie inside, Barry speeds into it in an effort to stop it.

On July 30, 2013, it was announced that ''[[Arrow (TV series)|Arrow]]'' co-creators [[Greg Berlanti]] and [[Andrew Kreisberg]], ''Arrow'' pilot director [[David Nutter]], and DC Comics CCO [[Geoff Johns]] would develop a television series based on the Flash for [[The CW]], and it would detail Barry Allen's origin.<ref name="DeadlineAnnouncement">{{cite web|url=https://deadline.com/2013/07/cw-eyes-flash-series-with-arrows-greg-berlanti-andrew-kreisberg-david-nutter/ |title=CW Eyes 'Flash' Series With 'Arrow's Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg & David Nutter |last=Andreeva |first=Nellie |website=[[Deadline Hollywood]] |date=July 30, 2013 |access-date=July 30, 2013 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130801015113/http://www.deadline.com/2013/07/cw-eyes-flash-series-with-arrows-greg-berlanti-andrew-kreisberg-david-nutter/ |archive-date=August 1, 2013 }}</ref> Kreisberg revealed after the announcement that Allen would first appear as a recurring character on ''[[Arrow (TV series)|Arrow]]'' in three episodes of season two—all written by Berlanti, Kreisberg and Johns—and the last of the episodes would act as a [[backdoor pilot]] for the new show. Kreisberg added that Allen would be a forensic scientist and the introduction of his superpowers, as well as the reactions to this, will be very human and grounded. Johns stated that the character of the Flash in the show would resemble his comic book counterpart, complete with his trademark red costume, and not be a poor imitation. Kreisberg elaborated: "No sweat suits or strange code names; he ''will be'' The Flash." While researching the best way to depict the Flash's lightning speed, Johns stated it would not just be the standard "blurring around".<ref name="THRJuly2013">{{cite magazine|url=https://hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/flash-writers-preview-cws-newest-595705 |title='Flash' Writers Preview the CW's Newest Superhero |last=Goldberg |first=Lesley |magazine=[[The Hollywood Reporter]] |date=July 30, 2013 |access-date=July 30, 2013 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130801185107/http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/flash-writers-preview-cws-newest-595705 |archive-date=August 1, 2013 }}</ref>
Barry ultimately appeared twice in ''Arrow''{{'}}s second season, with the planned backdoor pilot canceled in favor of a traditional pilot by The CW executives, who had been impressed by early cuts of Barry's first two episodes on ''Arrow''. This allowed the creative team to flesh out Barry's story and his world on a bigger budget, as opposed to a backdoor pilot's constraint of incorporating characters from the parent show. The pilot was officially ordered on January 29, 2014, and was written by Berlanti, Kreisberg, and Johns, and directed by Nutter.<ref name="DeadlinePilot">{{cite web|url=https://www.deadline.com/2013/11/cws-the-flash-to-do-standalone-pilot-instead-of-arrow-backdoor-pilot-episode/ |title=CW's 'The Flash' To Do Stand-Alone Pilot Instead Of 'Arrow' Backdoor Pilot Episode |last=Andreeva |first=Nellie |date=November 18, 2013 |access-date=November 18, 2013 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131119211413/http://www.deadline.com/2013/11/cws-the-flash-to-do-standalone-pilot-instead-of-arrow-backdoor-pilot-episode/ |archive-date=November 19, 2013 }}</ref><ref name="PilotOrdered">{{cite magazine|last=Goldberg |first=Lesley |title='Supernatural' Spinoff, Rob Thomas' 'iZombie,' 'Flash' Ordered to Pilot at CW |url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/supernatural-spinoff-rob-thomas-izombie-675484 |magazine=[[The Hollywood Reporter]] |date=January 29, 2014 |access-date=January 29, 2014 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140301182716/http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/supernatural-spinoff-rob-thomas-izombie-675484 |archive-date=March 1, 2014 }}</ref> On May 8, 2014, ''The Flash'' was officially picked up as a series, with an initial order of 13 episodes.<ref name="PickUp">{{cite web|url=http://tvline.com/2014/05/08/the-cw-new-series-fall-2014-the-flash/ |title=Fall TV Scoop: The CW Orders Four Dramas, Including Flash, iZombie and Jane the Virgin, Passes on Supernatural Spin-Off |last=Ausiello |first=Michael |website=[[TVLine]] |date=May 8, 2014 |access-date=May 8, 2014 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140508223350/http://tvline.com/2014/05/08/the-cw-new-series-fall-2014-the-flash/ |archive-date=May 8, 2014 }}</ref> Three more scripts were ordered in September 2014 following a positive response to newly completed episodes by executives,<ref name="Deadline3">{{cite web|url=https://deadline.com/2014/09/the-flash-jane-the-virgin-additional-scripts-cw-838768/ |title=CW's 'The Flash' & 'Jane The Virgin' Get Backup Script Orders Ahead Of Premieres |work=[[Deadline Hollywood]] |date=September 23, 2014 |access-date=September 24, 2014 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140925082725/http://deadline.com/2014/09/the-flash-jane-the-virgin-additional-scripts-cw-838768/ |archive-date=September 25, 2014 }}</ref> while a back ten was ordered on October 21, 2014, for a full 23-episode season.<ref name="S1SeasonOrder">{{cite magazine|url=http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/10/21/the-flash-full-season/ |title='The Flash' gets full season ('Jane the Virgin' too) |last=Hibberd |first=James |magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]] |date=October 21, 2014 |access-date=October 21, 2014 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141022000218/http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/10/21/the-flash-full-season/ |archive-date=October 22, 2014 }}</ref>

===Arrowverse tie-ins===
In March 2014, it was announced that Gustin would not appear in a third episode of ''Arrow'' as originally planned. However, Panabaker and Valdes appear in the ''Arrow'' episode "The Man Under the Hood" in their roles as Caitlin Snow and Cisco Ramon, respectively. ''Arrow'' executive producer Marc Guggenheim stated, "This was something that really came about because obviously Barry is in a coma at the end of ["Three Ghosts"]. That pretty much made it impossible for Barry to appear in [the third episode, as originally planned]... The idea of bringing in [Caitlin Snow and Cisco Ramon] really, really appealed to us because it allowed us to honor our original intention [of] doing something Flash-related around episode 19 or 20 [of season two] without having comatose Barry and basically paying Grant Gustin a lot of money to sit around with his eyes closed just unconscious the whole episode... It allows us to further flesh out the ''Flash'' universe in ''Arrow''."<ref name="PanabakerValdesArrow">{{cite magazine|url=https://www.tvguide.com/News/Arrow-Flash-Panabaker-Valdes-1079429.aspx |title=Arrow Scoop: Which Flash Characters Are Heading to Starling City? |last=Abrams |first=Natalie |magazine=TV Guide |date=March 17, 2014 |access-date=March 17, 2014 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140318032650/http://www.tvguide.com/News/Arrow-Flash-Panabaker-Valdes-1079429.aspx |archive-date=March 18, 2014 }}</ref> Gustin had a brief cameo appearance in the ''Arrow'' season three premiere, "The Calm".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/569102/20141010/arrow-season-3-spoilers-watch-recap-canary.htm |title='Arrow' Season 3, Episode 1 Recap, Spoilers, Review: Hong Kong, Olicity, The Short-lived 'Calm' And What Happens Next [Watch Arrow 3x2 Promo Video] |last=Paredes |first=Arlene |work=[[International Business Times]] |date=October 10, 2014 |access-date=October 10, 2014 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141012034954/http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/569102/20141010/arrow-season-3-spoilers-watch-recap-canary.htm |archive-date=October 12, 2014 }}</ref> Valdes appeared once again in the season three episode "Broken Arrow",<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2015/04/16/arrow-broken-arrow-review |title=Tech Meets Instinct |last=Schedeen |first=Jesse |website=[[IGN]] |date=April 15, 2015 |access-date=April 17, 2015 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150416052716/http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/04/16/arrow-broken-arrow-review |archive-date=April 16, 2015 }}</ref> while Gustin appeared in the final episode of season three, "My Name is Oliver Queen".<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.ew.com/article/2015/05/06/arrow-season-3-oliver-identity |title=Arrow preview: Who is Oliver Queen? |last=Abrams |first=Natalie |magazine=Entertainment Weekly |date=May 6, 2015 |access-date=May 7, 2015 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150509003618/http://www.ew.com/article/2015/05/06/arrow-season-3-oliver-identity |archive-date=May 9, 2015 }}</ref>

List of episodes

The first season of the American television series The Flash premiered on The CW on October 7, 2014, and concluded on May 19, 2015, after airing 23 episodes. The series is based on the DC Comics character Barry Allen / Flash, a costumed superhero crime-fighter with the power to move at superhuman speeds. It is a spin-off from Arrow, existing in the same fictional universe, and was produced by Berlanti Productions, Warner Bros. Television, and DC Entertainment, with Andrew Kreisberg serving as showrunner.

The series follows Allen, portrayed by Grant Gustin, a crime scene investigator who gains super-human speed, which he uses to fight criminals, including others who have also gained superhuman abilities. The season follows Barry getting his super speed from an accident caused by S.T.A.R. Labs who helps him fight criminals who also get powers from the same accident and helping Barry pursue his mother's killer the Reverse-Flash. Gustin is joined by main cast members Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker, Rick Cosnett, Carlos Valdes, Tom Cavanagh, and Jesse L. Martin. The Flash was picked up for a full season by The CW in October 2014, and filming took place primarily in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

The series premiere was watched by 4.8 million viewers and had a 1.9 18–49 demographic rating, making it The CW's most watched and highest rated series premiere since The Vampire Diaries in 2009. It also became The CW's second-most watched series premiere ever, behind 90210, and the third-highest rated in the 18–49 demographic. The first season finished as the 118th ranked show, with an average viewership of 4.62 million, making it the most watched series ever on The CW, and also the highest rated series among men 18–49 and men 18+ ever on the network. The first season of The Flash received generally positive reviews from critics. Reviews for the series became increasingly positive as the season progressed, with the finale receiving critical acclaim. The series was renewed for a second season on January 11, 2015.[1]

Barry Allen, a forensic analyst for the CCPD still haunted by witnessing his mother Nora’s impossible murder and his father Henry’s wrongful imprisonment, is struck by a blue-white bolt of lightning when Mercury Labs’ experimental particle accelerator catastrophically explodes, sending a radiation wave across the city. After nine months in a coma, Barry wakes inside Mercury Labs under the care of Dr. Harrison Wells, bioengineer Caitlin Frost, and tech genius Cisco Ramon, who reveal the lightning rewrote his cells and granted him super-speed, hyper-reflexes, and rapid healing. As Barry struggles to resume work, a surge of strange crimes grips Central City, including targeted bank robberies driven by unnatural storms created by Clyde Mardon, a former pilot mutated into a weather-manipulating metahuman by the accelerator blast. Realizing the city has more victims—and threats—like him, Barry embraces his powers, dons a reinforced suit designed by Cisco, and teams with Detective Joe West to stop Mardon in a deadly confrontation that ends with Joe killing him to save Barry. Determined to use his abilities to protect the innocent and clear his father’s name, Barry adopts the identity of “The Flash,” unaware Wells is secretly studying him and monitoring a future headline predicting the Flash’s mysterious disappearance.

Critical response

Season 1 of The Flash received generally positive reviews from critics. The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 92% approval rating with an average rating of 7.75/10 based on 63 reviews. The website's consensus reads, "The Flash benefits from its purposefully light atmosphere, making it a superhero show uniquely geared toward genre fans as well as novices."[119] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 73 out of 100, based on 27 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[120]

IGN's Eric Goldman and Joshua Yehl praised the show's premise and cast after viewing a press screening copy of the pilot. Goldman and Yehl favorably compared it to Arrow, stating that The Flash progresses with a confidence that Arrow did not get until later in the series.[121] Reviews for the series became increasingly positive as the season progressed, with the finale receiving critical acclaim.

Noel Murray of The A.V. Club gave the season a B+ overall, giving praise to the pacing of the plot, the performances of the cast and the special effects, and also pointing out the series' boldness to embrace its comic book influences, something that conventional superhero shows tend not to do.[122] Weekly episode reviewer Scott Von Doviak gave consistently high ratings to the season and awarded the season finale a perfect A grade, calling the episode "richly satisfying" and also commending the show for "[capturing] the essence of its source material in a fun, light-on-its-feet way that few other comic book adaptations have managed." He also gave high praise to the emotional value and performances of the cast, as well as the cliffhanger and multiple easter eggs found in the episode.[123]

Accolades

The Flash was included on multiple Best/Top TV Shows of 2014 lists, ranking on NPR and Omaha World-Herald'ss (7th), and Film School Rejects's (10th).[124] In its first season, The Flash was nominated for 35 awards, including an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Special Visual Effects for the episode "Grodd Lives",[125] and winning nine.
