Finished watching Flash season 1

Aaaand I am not excited right now.
I'm actually kind of ugh.

This show did not choose the best things.


I disliked the ending.
And felt it didn't make entire sense.
Even emotionally.


It was creepy and inadequate about disability, and not even because of the source text, just, because it felt like it.

Spending a whole season lying to Iris is creeptastic and got worse and worse and made less and less sense as it went along.

Waiting until the next to last episode to point out the legal and moral problems of locking people up in your basement was rather ducking the problem. And again, that whole thing happened because their solution was secrecy, and far more secrecy than even made sense. If knowledge was keeping the mundanes alive within the team then it really should have been useful to the police in general, you know?


And I kind of don't care about the characters. I mean, they don't actively suck, but they didn't click with me. Some of this is being very bored of love triangles, and some is the ages of characters, and some is just... *shrug*, it isn't working for me.


So now I'm kind of cranky and want to do something different with the pieces.
Which is how I feel about most DC adjacent media, lately.
Meh.
