REVIEW: The Flash – Season 7, Episode 15 “Enemy at the Gates”

AlexGherzo | Jun 30, 2021 | 0

Well, the good news is that “Enemy at the Gates” is a marked improvement over The Flash’s recent output. The bad news is that the last few episodes have been so bad that there was almost nowhere to go but up. (I say “almost” because I’m learning not to underestimate modern television.) �...

“Rayo de Luz” is not the episode we needed after spending last week being told – but not shown – how great Chester is. Instead of returning the focus to Barry, where it belongs, The Flash completely sidelines him for the episode in favor of Allegra, Chester, and Sue, who take a meaningless s...
