The Flash, Season 1

The Flash, Season 1 (2014)

Flash 1

Although initially comical in all senses, The Flash quickly develops into a top-notch superhero programme: action-packed, dramatic and divertingly — not annoyingly — larger than life. The effects mostly work, and Tom Cavanagh and Jesse L. Martin bring a maturity to the support cast.

Alphas_2

Alphas suffered from an unfortunate case of second year syndrome. Its winning premise became lost in a season-spanning story arc, which promoted dramatic grandiloquence over compelling self-contained episodes. Though still very watchable, the programme subsequently (consequently?) was canned, its potential sadly unfulfilled.
