The seasons essentially has the same layout, while the characters often repeat similar arcs; Barry must get faster to stop a mysterious speedster villain, Caitlin has a doomed romance, a new Wells shows up, the group CONTINUES to keep secrets from each other.
Fans can be forgiven for not believing that the writers are always addressing the show’s faults.
It’s true that fans can jump the gun in their criticism before a season is even finished, but if the history of The Flash has taught anything, it’s that the writers don’t always learn from their mistakes.
