Every The CW Superhero Show Ranked Worst To Best
1. The Flash
The first of the Arrowverse spin-offs, few of us could ever have predicted the titan that The Flash would ultimately become. Centering on DC Comics' Scarlet Speedster, the show single-handedly broke ratings records for the network in its first year and took the shared universe to greater heights than it could have imagined.
Led by an endearing performance from Grant Gustin, The Flash is the opposite of its parent show in that its greatest strength is its undeniable optimism. It takes its cues from the fun superhero shows of old while also employing a number of the storytelling methods that made Arrow the success that it was.
Like Arrow, The Flash has also had a number of highs and lows throughout its run. The difference, however, is that its highs were higher and its lows were nowhere near as low (thanks in no small part to the fact that it never disrespected the source material). And although it did hit something of a lull midway through its run, it's hard to overlook the fact that its first season was perhaps the greatest season of the whole genre.
Back on track with a stellar sixth season - and its seventh on the horizon - The Flash clearly shows no signs of slowing down in the near future, and it's safe to say that we're all thankful for that.
