1) The Flash
Though Daredevil very nearly took this topped our list, ultimately our heart belongs to this adaptation of the DC speedster. As part of the Arrowverse, The Flash is the fun escapist entertainment to its more dour predecessor. Despite facing some growing pains in season 2, the series used the Flashpoint universe to retcon certain elements of its plot, most notably with Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker) on the verge of turning into the icy Killer Frost.
In season 3, Grant Gustin and company continue to nail the perfect blend of CW melodrama, superhero thrills and a wry sense of humor that would no doubt leave Joss Whedon (whose Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a clear influence on this show’s tone) smiling from ear to ear. I mean, what other show would dare to give Tom Cavanagh essentially a new character to play every year or feature wacky villains like a hyper-intelligent gorilla and a man/shark hybrid? For all of its comic book insanity and incomparable fun, The Flash races (sorry, we couldn’t resist) to the number one spot of our list.
