I thought it was a solid first episode. The special effects were pretty solid for a TV show, but I also get some of the criticism for some of the story aspects and dialogue. I don't like how Barry had no concern on revealing his abilities to anyone he came in contact with, but taking the whole episode into account, I'm definitely going to keep watching. As for the super shows currently showing, Agents of Shield and Green Arrow are standing above the rest. Starting with the last 5 or 6 episodes of the Agents of Shield last season, they have really improve their quality. I just started watching Arrow on Netflix and being almost through the first season, it might be the best super hero show on right now. Listening to the podcasts and seeing others comments, I was expecting a lot of cheesy lines and scenes and I really don't see it. For me, Gotham has been way more cheesy in it's dialogue and characters than anything I have seen in Arrow. Regardless of all that, its a great time to be a comic book fan when it comes to TV and movies.
