- Quotes
Harrison 'Nash' Wells: Yeah, why didn't you tell me that they were in danger? Okay, I could've - I could've gotten them out of there.
Cisco Ramon: Don't come at me, Nash. You're not here to keep me in the loop. You're not even part of this team.
Harrison 'Nash' Wells: Oh, that's so hurtful. How's your little team doing in standings? Your little team...
Cisco Ramon: Okay, you don't see this is exactly what I'm talking about. No, you don't care about the team. You only work with us when you want something from us.
Allegra Garcia: Yo, keep me out of this.
Cisco Ramon: So, what is it this time? You - you got a couple glyphs you need Allegra to x-ray for you? Oh, or maybe you just want to open up another Pandora's box of Hell.
Harrison 'Nash' Wells: Are you kidding me? I was the one to - I was the only one trying to stop Crisis.
Cisco Ramon: A Crisis you started! Billions of worlds, trillions of people gone, like they were never even born.
Harrison 'Nash' Wells: And I paid for it! As Pariah I paid for it and still managed to help defeat the Anti-Monitor.
Cisco Ramon: Which did nothing for the people who died. Oliver. Harry. Jesse. An infinite number of Harrison Wells's. And we're stuck with the one who killed the multi-verse.

1) The show is not about Barry anymore, and we can't see the team that we used to in season 1, 2 or 3. Do you remember the Flash episode in season 4 called "Enter Flashtime"? It is currently rated 9.0. This episode (mainly) focuses on Barry and his struggles to stop the bomb from destroying the city, but we can see Jesse and Jay throughout the episode, supporting Barry, while helping him, and giving him some kind of "confidence" and "support" to prevent the explosion. Barry in focus? Check. His friends (team) helping him? Check. His friends emotionally supporting him? Check. Drama? Check. Action? Check. Amazing cinematography and music? Check.
2. Drama. It is supposed to be a drama/action series, but in season 5, I felt that this part was completely missing. I couldn't enjoy watching the characters, because I felt that, for me, there is no "emotional attachment" to them.
3. Character development: Y'all think that just because this series has 6 seasons, the main character can't be developed? Wrong! You might ask me: "Why are you criticising something if you have no idea how they could make it better?" It's not my job to come up with a story to explore each characters, mainly the most important one, Barry.
And now, what do we see? A cringe feminist trio being the most important characters of the series. Many many people have already said that Barry is not the main character, and I am here to submit it. Iris is not a crime fighter, and Barry is not a "sidekick". It should be the reverse.
If you want to save the series, the cringe *ss feminist group should disappear, the focus should be on Barry, more drama and emotions, more character development (I really liked H.R and Henry., but I hate Nash Wells), better action.
The reason I gave 3 stars is because of the cinematography, costumes and the music. That's all the reason.
I would be very happy if one of the creators read this review to save this show, as soon as possible, while they can.
