There are so many serious issues with the first season. And I am not talking about the usual ones any first season might have. If you want any chance to enjoy this you need to be ready to accept weak writing, stupid and illogical character decisions (again resulting from weak writing), plot holes the size of a city block (again....see before), sub par acting (with the exception of Victor Garber) and, in general, don't even start with the science because this is pure fantasy-fiction and not science fiction. Oh, and I guess the unnessessary romance comes with the genre. You have to shrug all this off. Yet, despite all those flaws I managed to go through to the end and I am really considering S2. Why ? Because it was fun and entertaining at times. Because I loved all the references throughout the season. And because the action sometimes wasn't bad. And, last but not least, because I hope that they can improve for S2. Having said all that I can not give this season more than a six for the season, all things considered. And it would be a low six at that.

After the events at the beginning of The Flash S3 I decided to drop the whole Arrowverse shows.
