[@JaeMinJung.]

Fun fact: the actor who plays Barry's father, John Wesley Shipp, is the original 90s TV Flash. Their scene in the prison is for me personally like a passing of the torch moment from the old Barry to the new one.

One thing to get used to while watching this show: Embrace the campiness. The first two seasons of The Flash are very aware of the rather corny nature of the show, so they make no efforts to hide it. It makes the show better honestly, because the emotions be HITTIN during genuinely serious moments.

Just so you know this show started at the same time as Arrow season 3. Barry first shows up in Arrow season 2 to set up his character and this show. And as others have said there are A LOT of shows in the Arrowverse and a lot of crossovers so if you're only watching Flash you're gonna get really confused when they happen.

The whole reason I've watched every episode of this show is because of how good of a Flash Grant Gustin is. If he were to be brought into the DC movies with better writing and a better budget he would be perfect for it.

[@bradparnell614]

All the fans or anyone familiar with 50+ years of Flash comics history already knew going in that Barry and Iris were romantically involved. She was his Lois Lane in the comics and they actually got married just a few years into the comic's run so the producers of the show felt they needed to mix it up a little. Kind of like how on "Lois and Clark, the New Adventures of Superman" back in the 90s they kept getting them together and breaking them up before they finally ended up getting married. Speaking of the 90s, the man who plays Barry's father on this show was the actor who was The Flash on the 90s show.

I am a thousand percent convinced they cast the actor as Harrison Wells based on how many different dramatic ways he ennunciate the phrase, "Run, Barry. Run."

[@LunatiqHigh]

The CW "Arrowverse" was really sly about easter eggs. If you know the series and DC Comics in general you'll see name drops like that place where he was first testing out his speed with STAR Labs crew on the runway, that was an easter egg for The Green Lantern and you'll see names or hear names of future villains or other super heroes like Superman, Batman etc. It can be written on a board, written on a document, hear the name in the background somewhere etc. And his dad was The Flash for the 1990's TV Show. IMO, the Arroverse in 2014 was doing a much better job at establishing a shared universe than DCEU was doing at the time (2014). It's a cheesy show and I love it for it. It has it's ups and downs. The cast is great and gets better, I just wish it wasn't written so linear, like one villain at a time. With his speed, I wish they'd have introduced his entire rogue gallery in a few episodes and then sprinkled everyone throughout the entire season. This would make sense with his super speed that he can be tackling like a few situations at a time.

[@dereckabackus5411]

Caitlin and Cisco made their first appearance on an episode of tv series Arrow, way before Barry Allen appeared in season 2.

underrated comment

[@QuestionableLifeChoices]

lol there was a bit of a backdoor pilot situation where barry was introduced (and actually played a significant part in the plot) of 1 (or 2?) episodes of arrow lol. it's definitely more of a "this is barry, these are the vibes he's putting out, soak it in" type intro, though lol. he was a wholesome cinnamon roll in a show full of angst, darkness, and a hero who legit had no problem just killing people. honestly, they're such wildly different characters and heroes and yet friends, that the dynamic between those 2 characters remains one of my all time favorite parts of the entire arrowverse. i digress.

[@That_One_Gam3r_YT]

Season run down: Barry Allen is the Flash, Cisco is the engineer of the team, Wells is actually the time traveler Eobard Thawn/The one who killed Barry's mom, Eddie shot himself to erase Eobard from existence, Iris is also in love with Barry, Catlin's fiancé is alive.

The first few seasons were a guilty pleasure for me (largely because of childhood fandom of comic book Flash) but I absolutely agree with you about the dialog.

[@rememberJAW]

Seasons 1 is the best and it slowly kinda goes down in quality from there.

Just to point out Joe adopted Barry and then Married Iris, therefore he married his adoptive sister also fun fact the dad played the part of Barry Allen on a old I think 80's version of the flash

[@NoHandleGrr]

The guy playing Barry's father is John Wesley Shipp, who played Barry Allen/The Flash (a DC character since 1961, a revival of the 1941 character) in the 1991 TV series, THE FLASH. Our Barry first appeared in a couple of issues of ARROW before being spun off into his own show here. Arrow, Oliver Queen, eventually becomes the Green Arrow, another DC character since the 1940s, who is basically Batman with a bow and arrows. (He's also a bazillionaire, just like Bruce Wayne.) There will eventually be numerous crossovers between FLASH and ARROW and later LEGENDS OF TOMOROW, SUPERGIRL, and more. (Eventually even BLACK LIGHTNING.)

[@himanshugaikwad4998]

Oh, btw that scene with The Flash and Arrow happened after like the second season of the series Arrow, because it started a couple of seasons before The Flash, there's also Supergirl, The Legends Of Tomorrow, and Batwoman, but you only need The Flash and Arrow to understand everything, they are also the 2 main ones, and yes Arrow is as good as The Flash, there's a lot of action, fighting, and realism to Arrow too which I really like, unlike Flash where there's superpower and time traveling but still keeping it as realistic as possible which I also like, so it's kind of evenly as good for me, there is also a lot of crossovers, The Arrowverse.

Apart from that, I understand why you didn't continue with Flash as it has WAYYY too many episodes and some of them are filler. That's been a problem with CW shows that they have SOO many episodes and some are just filler content because of the network.... needing.... or wanting... or.... I dunno what it is but I hate it like that. That's why I like Netflix stuff or even Disney+ stuff now because it's less episodes and more focus on furthering the plot and stuff.
