We had a long summer of waiting for news of what could possibly come next, and the plot hasn’t gotten any less twisty in Season 3, so hopefully The CW considers its online popularity in considering the show’s future.
The Flash is the biggest hit on The CW, but The CW is by far the smallest of the American broadcast networks.
I’m guessing that the big Flashpoint cliffhanger at the end of Season 2 probably had something to do with all the downloads.
Still, something about the adventures of the Scarlet Speedster Barry Allen and his pals has struck a chord with viewers.
