In yet another brilliant Honest Trailer, the folks at Screen Junkies broke down The Flash into its most basic elements — and proceeded to completely eviscerate the show.
With regards to the soapy narratives, the trailer points out that the will they/won’t they romance between Barry Allen and Iris West can sometimes feel a little off.
Sure, they’re meant to be together, but Iris’ insistence on making out with Eddie Thawne always seemed a bit odd during the first season of the series.
The trailer in question has a ton of fun with several elements of The Flash’s core premise, but the overall criticism seems to be the show’s odd balance of campy production quality, soap opera storylines, and completely ridiculous science fiction.
