DVD Reviews
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy
of the Blu-ray I reviewed in this post. The opinions I share
are my own.
I love "The
Flash," and I never miss an episode. They come up with
such great ideas every season, with so much action. They
write interesting characters and fun stories. They have a
nice combination of drama and comedy, and I adore the actors
who portray Barry, Iris, Caitlin, Cisco, Harry, Joe, Cecile,
Ralph - the whole Team Flash. This season they brought Barry
and Iris' daughter, Nora, from the future. She was a fun
character with many layers. I can't wait to see what happens
next season!
I love getting these DVD's. I would buy
them, anyway, because I collect many shows that I like -
especially superhero TV shows and movies. "The Flash"
is probably my favorite of all of The CW shows because it's
usually more light and fun than "Arrow,"
and it has more cute guys on it than the other shows. I
think that they do a better job on "The Flash" of having a
lot of humor to balance all the drama. They don't let
the humor go too far (which sometimes happens on "Legends
of Tomorrow"), nor do they weight down the show with too
much drama, like on "Arrow" and "Black Lightning." I love it
when a show has equal parts both light and dark.
One thing I've always loved about this show
is that Barry is a true hero, both in his superhero life and
in his job. He's a very good guy. Many superheroes portrayed
nowadays are very dark and/or brooding, or they can barely
be called heroes. I love how Barry always does what he
thinks is right (even if he turns out to be wrong
sometimes). He doesn't kill people like Oliver does on
"Arrow." He's also a regular guy that anyone can relate to.
He's had a tragic life, but he doesn't let it get him down
too long. The people that surround him are the same way.
They're true good guys.
The DVD set is very good, like all of the
past DVD sets have been. There are many features, such
as one about the crossover event; an in-depth one about the
villains; "The Evolution of Killer Frost;" and the 2018 San
Diego Comic-Con panel; as well as deleted scenes and a gag
reel. If you're a fan of "The Flash", you will love this!
There's only 4 months until Christmas. Shop early and buy it
for your favorite scifi/fantasy/superhero fan, too.
