The Beach

Some pictures from a recent trip to the beach.

The Flash

I have been watching The Flash on Netflix, and the show is enjoyable.  The idea of a young man dealing with his mother’s death and father’s conviction for her murder, and later getting super speed after an accident is engaging.   I like the way Barry wants to use his speed to help others, and the interaction between the characters is good.  I especially like Barry’s (Grant Gustin) relationship with Joe West (Jesse L. Martin).   Martin did a wonderful job as Detective Ed Green in Law and Order; I am glad he is in another series.

I like Barry’s interaction with his friends in the lab also. Cisco Ramon (Carlos Valdez), Caitlin Snow (Danielle Panabaker) and Harry Wells (Tom Cavanagh) are interesting characters, and the actors do a good job with their roles.  I don’t think the writers should have included the bit about Barry’s unrequited love for Joe’s daughter Iris (Candace Patton), but that is personal preference, and I do like the Iris West character.

I haven’t finished the first season yet, so I’m not very far into the series, but I’m looking forward to continuing to watch The Flash and seeing what happens.
