2/10
No longer the superhero genre,should be re-titled to "The Farce"

I for one get fed up of the same old jargon "if you don't like it don't watch it", I personally love this genre & contrary to so many saying its overdone, that the TV & film industry is flooded with it when the actual truth is that it isnt, within the TV industry the amount of shows within this genre is minimal.

This show in particular has been in decline since season 3 because rather than stay true to the title character & produce a decent well written show that would gain genuine fans the producers chose to go the easy route of flooding the show with established fan favourite celeb actors, thereby gaining an instant audience of sheep tuning in to gush at the idiotic antics of their favourite celeb, it's become nothing more than a by the numbers box ticker, I still watch in hope that someone, at least once, will write a story where the Flash is actually the hero, I'm still waiting, in this episode Barry doesn't even put the suit on, barely uses any of his powers & the villain of the episode is a gold mask locked in a vault, absolutely ridiculous.

I like many was a fan of the Flash long before this show even began & to see this show represent this hero so poorly is a gut punch for a fan like myself.

This episode began with 2 comedy sketches, & I use "comedy" very loosely, childish or infantile would be more descriptive, again more celebs trying to be comedic but instead are nothing more than farcical, which then led into yet another nothing story just to showcase one of the all too many "fan" favourite celeb character's with a pointless background story.

So yes I for one will keep tuning in to this show in the hope that there will finally be an episode that is actually a story where the title character is actually the central hero of said story & until then I will keep giving negative feedback for these cretinous episodes, the only upside to this episode was the addition of Natalie Dreyfuss as Sue Dear on.

Sadly "The Flash" has become nothing more than a childish soap opera sitcom written & produced by morons that have little to no clue of how this genre should be handled.
