Barry Allen is a Central City police forensic scientist with a reasonably happy life, despite the childhood trauma of a mysterious red and yellow being killing his mother and framing his father. All that changes when a massive particle accelerator accident leads to Barry being struck by lightning in his lab. Coming out of coma nine months later, Barry and his new friends at STAR labs find that he now has the ability to move at superhuman speed. Furthermore, Barry learns that he is but one of many affected by that event, most of whom are using their powers for evil. Determined to make a difference, Barry dedicates his life to fighting such threats, as The Flash. While he gains allies he never expected, there are also secret forces determined to aid and manipulate him for their own agenda.Our Reviews
Are we getting dumber as an audience? Since plots and narratives are getting more simple and obvious in the Hollywood realm. The Flash shows all its cards straight away. Good guy vs bad guy, a pretty girl that will probably need saving, epic end-boss, obvious love-story. Characters literally explain their motives, almost while looking at the audience through the camera. Don't know what a particle accelerator is? Here let me write it down on a chalk board!Are we getting dumber?
Legendary series like The Wire, Sopranos, True Detective, and more, feature enticing narratives, pushed forth by symbols, layers of meaning , human complexities and engaging acting. They are OK with keeping some mystery and tell multiple narratives in multiple manners. They push the viewer to think, anticipate and take him or her seriously.
