The Flash returned with an all-round impressive season premiere last week, and now it’s down to Paradox to continue the high standard set by its predecessor.

Whilst last week saw Barry realising that his decision to go back in time to save his mother from dying was the wrong move, Paradox sees the Scarlet Speedster looking to get himself settled back in to the regular timeline. However, all is not quite as normal as Barry was hoping.

With friction thick in the air, and with two villains making their mark on the Sultan of Speed, it’s certainly a testing time for The Flash. In his famed red suit, Barry is battling The Rival and Doctor Alchemy, whilst in the workplace he’s having to deal with fellow CSI, Julian Albert. Despite hoping for the timeline to have reset back to how things were, poor Barry is still left trying to get a handle on things post-Flashpoint.
