About
"Superhero TV sincerity before superhero TV was cool"
A police scientist named Barry Allen is struck by lightning and wakes up impossibly fast, so he starts using his new speed to fight crime in a stylized, neon-lit Central City. This 1990 series predates the modern superhero boom and it shows: sincere, comic-book-earnest, with surprisingly lavish sets and a moody Danny Elfman score. The pace is episodic monster-of-the-week stuff rather than serialized drama, and the tone leans pulpy rather than gritty. It's a curiosity piece now, charming for its ambition even when the effects and dialogue creak.
the surprisingly cinematic production design and score for a network show this old.
you need slick modern effects or serialized plotting rather than standalone episodes.
