1/10
Dawson's Creek: Superhero Edition

Warning: Spoilers
I've reviewed "The Flash" many times over the years, ALL of which were removed. This series is so maliciously apathetic, I feel the need to keep taking my shots at it.

The Flash initially started as a pretty interesting new spin on a legendary DC Comic hero. Season 1 was watchable! Interesting enough, and the potential for so much more.

Season 2 started out decently, but "dropped the ball" doesn't even begin to accurately depict how infuriatingly terrible this show became. EVERYONE develops "powers" and EVERYONE has at least 3-4 lame monologues about the same juvenile bulls*** every single episode.

After losing the crutch that was Barry's Mom's death, the writing devolved into a meandering, convoluted after-school-special. TONS of social messages, ENDLESS unwarranted political perspectives, and MINIMAL enthralling television.

Around season 2 or 3, for SOME PC/SJW REASON, the show runners somehow got the impression that the audience liked IRIS and wanted to see infinitely more IRIS. Very bad call. She is the worst and further ruined an already terrible show. I imagine that's how hidden agendas work though. Actually, her entire existence demonstrates perfectly how willing The CW is to sacrifice a potentially decent show in the pursuit of whatever propaganda they're trying to peddle.

There is actually an episode in which Barry Allen, THE FLASH, somehow transfers his unattainable Meta-human abilities to his lame sister/girlfriend... and then offers that she keep them permanently because "We are the Flash".... I couldn't make this up if I tried. COMPLETELY GUTTED THE ENTIRE PREMISE OF THE SHOW.

The end of all of these garbage, agenda ridden shows is near AND IM ABSOLUTELY THRILLED.😏
