The Flash Season One: Best and Worst

Just like with the Arrow here is the best and worse for The Flash TV series. SPOILERS!!

Best

Tom Cavanagh as Reverse Flash: First mention defiantly goes to Eobard because he is the best live action villain in either film or TV shows. Eobard as Reverse Flash is my favourite villain and they have adapted him so perfectly in the show and I liked how it started out as Dr Wells because I never suspected him at all! I really thought he was one of the good guys but then they brought an epic twist. Plus when Reverse Flash is on screen it is just so epic from his fight scenes to the way he vibrates and alters his voice to disguise himself.

The rest of the cast: Honorary mention had to go to Tom Cavanagh but every else has been perfect as well; from Barry, to everyone on Team Flash, Joe and Eddie, the Meta Humans and The Rogues I don't have a single complaint about any of them.

The Meta Humans: For a TV show that doesn't have a big budget like film the effects for the Meta Humans have been great. It really worked that we had episodes dedicated to a new villain every week and they have portrayed some of my favourite ones from the comics.

The Rogues: Captain Cold is one of my favourite Flash villains and I like how they brought him on early and have him recruiting members for The Rogues. Like the Meta Humans the effects for the Cold, Heat and Gold guns have been truly impressive has well.

Grodd: Once again they really did great work with the limited budget they got because the Grodd Lives episode was so freaking awesome!

General Eiling: I've always been a fan of Clancy Brown so I was thrilled when I found out he has a recurring role in The Flash.

FIRESTORM: He may not have his proper costume yet but I really enjoyed the two episode arc about FIRESTROM and I enjoying watching both Ronnie and Stein.

Crossovers: Just like with Arrow the crossovers on The Flash have been awesome like The Flash vs. Arrow and when ATOM and Felicity helped them.

The Tricksters: One of the best episodes this season because of the epic return of Mark Hamill as the Trickster and he did not disappoint.


Worst

Iris: While she is an alright character and an essential one that needed to be brought into live action she just gets on my nerves sometimes. I feel like some of the things she did was just to make everything worse for everyone like writing her stupid blog and wanting to be involved in everything. Sure I do feel sympathetic towards her for Joe not telling her the truth but honestly why does she feel the need to be a member of Team Flash she isn't a scientist, cop or Meta Human. 

Caitlin: I actually have nothing really against Caitlin because she is a good character but besides the FIRESTORM episodes it just feels like she is there for the sake of it sometimes. Cisco is heavily involved in everything like designing new tech and heading out into the field (like in Grodd Lives) but Caitlin does not do much and is just the voice of negativity in every situation. Hopefully when she becomes Killer Frost she will have more of an impact in the show.

Joe keeping Iris in the dark: I like Jos but damn keeping Barry's identity a secret from Iris for most of the season was just plain annoying and the excuses he kept saying just got weaker and weaker.

Killing off Deathbolt: One of the worst decisions they could have made because not only was he portrayed by a great actor he was one of the best Meta Humans. Not only that but he was the only one not created by the particle accelerator explosion (maybe born with powers?) and I wanted them to delve deeper into that with him.

There you go just a few things I wanted to mention though I am really busy lately so this was just done quick. Probably missed quite a few things.
