"The Flash" | Now Streaming on Netflix and The CW
At its core, "The Flash" is about a guy who runs really fast, but sometimes he can't run fast enough. It's also about the most fun 44 minutes of superhero content on TV each week. The CW's "Arrowverse" shows have succeeded by leaning into the absurdity of the comics they're based on and embracing that tradition with honesty and good humor. It also helps that they've paid homage to many iterations in the character's decades-long history, including the original '90s TV show and the current slate of DC movies.
