The Flash Season 2: The Good, The Bad And The Weird

It would seem that fans and critics alike have come to a unanimous consensus that while season two of The Flash was entertaining, it was nowhere near as good as its confident debut. This year, the show lost some of its initial charm that made it such an immediate draw due to some messy plotting in the first half of the season, the unfair but very real comparisons made between this year’s villain Zoom and last year's big bad the Reverse Flash, and the feeling that The Flash was maybe skittering a little too close to Arrow’s melodramatic tone.

Weird: Hawkgirl And The Awkward Stage Setting For Legends Of Tomorrow

The first half of season two suffered for many reasons (as noted above), but its biggest and most unnecessary hurdle was that of having to play set up for the debut of The CW’s newest series, Legends of Tomorrow. Not only was the big Arrow and The Flash crossover episode dedicated to cementing Hawkgirl and her vastly lamer counterpart, Hawkman, as new heroes in the universe, but the episodes leading up to the crossover did the same.

With as much story as the show ended up churning out in the last few episodes of the season, it’s difficult not to look back and reflect on how the time would have been better spent with its main characters instead of bringing together The CW’s DC universe.
