I think that The Flash is very overrated series (at least on Trakt) with only a few good episodes. Every episode to me like McDonald's - not good, not bad, just regular food.
The Flash would be better if the acting wasn't so weak, especially compared to the actors on Arrow.
For the most part the first season was OK. Neither overwhelmingly exceptional nor brutally awful. Just, well - OK.
I can live with the wacky science because it is a science-fiction superhero show. There has to be some leeway. One major factor I really didn't like is the, as one trakt friend of mine likes to put it, teen-oriented crap, that turns up in all this superhero shows. There always has to be some sort of romance, love interest or the like going on. Because all these awkward moments that result from that are so fun, right ? Wrong, so distractful and also not really character building. Iris was pretty much a nuisance the whole season and I can easily see the whole storyline working without her character in it. Secondly, the villains, from top to bottom were really weak. Most of the time they were only an afterthought in any story, just to be put away by The Flash, or to be killed off later. And the villains they keep aren't even metahumans but morons with techy guns that weren't even developed by themself. The major storyline with Dr. Wells was what drove the season. That was what kept me hanging in until the end.
As it is now I can't say I will see the end of the show. There are a lot of things that need to become better for me to really go with this all the way.
This seemed a lot good in the beginning, but as it has progressed through, it has become so boring that I can't keep watching it. There are so many other superhero series coming up, that being a mediocre series just doesn't cut it now. There were only one or two episodes where it really felt interesting, the story clicked a bit or the acting seemed better. The story isn't that spectacular either.
Every single episode keeps you edge of the sofa.. I wasn’t expecting The Flash will be super cool as a tv series.

A lot happens in this first season. Casting is good, acting is okay for the most part. Romance triangle is not very interesting. Not as dark as Arrow. but overall still an entertaining season with a few fun Arrow crossovers.
