25 Best Superhero TV Shows Of All Time
4. The Flash
There are many reasons why The Flash is the perfect superhero TV show. A series that successfully replicated the realism that parent show Arrow wielded so well, it enriched it with the glory, fun and light-heartedness associated with the classic superhero offerings from decades prior in order to produce a hybrid of sorts that is both realistic and unapologetically fun.
Grant Gustin's performance as Barry Allen is right up there with the greatest to ever grace any screen as he brings the Scarlet Speedster to life with such authentic youth, energy and enthusiasm that makes it impossible to do anything but champion him, while all of the cast bring their A-game every week, ensuring that we stick with it through all of its highs and lows.
The most enjoyable of all the Arrowverse shows, it has provided audiences with thrilling live-action adaptations of not just the Scarlet Speedster but some of his greatest allies and enemies, and its first season - which is dominated by the exceptional Reverse-Flash - is one of the greatest superhero origin stories to ever be told in any medium.
With a focus on family and a premise full of heart, The Flash wins hearts and minds each and every time its on our screens, and even though it's not quite as strong as it once was, it never fails to electrify viewers with its undeniable charm. And, after all, isn't that what superheroes are all about?
