Why The Flash Is So Good: The Secret Revealed

“I’d make a joke about how Uber isn’t safer because it translates to Over but it wouldn’t make any sense because this will all be over in 0.003 seconds and you can’t hear me anyway.”

The Flash took TV by storm this year for comic and superhero fans.  Week after week the show brought us a colorful mix of villains, intrigue, and lots of superspeed hidden as slow motion.  And it was fantastic.  From the amazing pilot to the tear-jerking finale, The Flash gave us everything we could want from a comic book TV show.  But what made The Flash so good?  Why did it find its footing so quickly and why was it able to, sorry but I have to say it, hit the ground running?  Especially when so many other comic book TV shows take a while to get going (yeah, Agents of SHIELD, love ya now but you know I’m looking at you)?  I have the answer for you after the break.
