REVIEW: The Flash – Season 9, Episode 2 “Hear No Evil”
“Hear No Evil” is a big stumble for The Flash after a good premiere, and it bodes ill for the show’s final season. While there are some good themes of personal choice and weighing human lives, one of the main characters is treated with shocking callousness, a new character fails to impress, an...

The Flash is back for its final season, with a truncated 13-episode run (which isn’t meant as the same pun everyone is making; there are just only so many words you can call it) closing out the show’s tenure at the CW. The producers must feel pressure to make this last season a great one, &helli...

“Keep it Dark” is another stand-aloneish episode, where it’s mostly a self-contained story, but some of the plot points will likely return in the near future. (We’ll call that the Buffy Special.) Barry’s storyline is the subplot, while the main action focuses on Allegra and Chester. It isn...
