REVIEW: The Flash (2023)

AlexGherzo | Jun 15, 2023 | 2

I’m not sure I’d call The Flash a mixed bag; that implies a fairly equal good-to-bad ratio, and The Flash is more bad than good by a wide margin. And what’s bad is abysmal, not only embracing many of the grating modern superhero movie tropes but hooking them up to rockets and shooting them int...

REVIEW: The Flash – Season 9, Episode 13, “A New World Part 4”

AlexGherzo | May 25, 2023 | 0

The Flash has been a bumpy road. It started almost impeccably with an outstanding first season; unfortunately, that would also prove to be its best season. The following two were very good, but as The Flash moved to the middle of its run, it showed signs of wear. The writers struggled to make their ...

REVIEW: The Flash – Season 9, Episode 12, “A New World Part 3”

The Flash’s final arc has been a bit lackadaisical in getting to the point. After a good first episode that set up a brewing conflict with The Negative Speed Force, it spent a week dawdling with Barry’s friends while he was almost entirely absent, resulting in all the main players being back whe...

Remember the finale of Arrow, where Oliver Queen was gone till the last five seconds? That sucked pretty hard. “A New World Part 2” is that episode for The Flash, and while it isn’t nearly as bad as whatever that awful Arrow finale was called, Barry’s absence is felt. Fortunately, the damage...

REVIEW: The Flash Season 9, Episode 10, “A New World Part 1”

AlexGherzo | May 4, 2023 | 0

Much of The Flash’s final season has been disappointing at best, but last week’s stellar episode made wading through that swamp worth it. It was so good I wondered if it should have been the finale, closing out the series on a high note instead of rolling the dice with four more episodes. But if...

REVIEW: The Flash – Season 9, Episode 9, “It’s My Party and I’ll Die if I Want To”

AlexGherzo | Apr 27, 2023 | 2

Never let it be said that Barry Allen can’t pull off a miracle. “It’s My Party and I’ll Die if I Want To” (the URL for this review is gonna be huge) is not only a return to form after two-thirds of a disappointing final season; it’s a sensational episode, packed with character developmen...
