The 10 Best New TV Shows of the Year
Unearthing 2014's surprising, satirical and sublimely dark gems
By Sam Thielman
"The Flash is such a great, no-brainer idea for a TV show, it's a little surprising it took this long for a network to try it out again—it's not actor John Wesley Shipp's fault, after all, that the 1990 CBS series premiered opposite The Simpsons—but much better late than never. Part crime drama, part teen soap, part coming-of-age comedy, The Flash is appropriately enthusiastic about covering all its bases. Not only does the CW series have a breakout star in lead actor Grant Gustin, but the network also smartly paired him up with Jesse L. Martin, who carries most of the series' dramatic weight. And if you're a nerd, you're in heaven: the show boasts straight-faced takes on classic model supervillains (there's seriously a guy named Roy G. Bivolo on this show who goes by Prism, which is a step up from his original nom de crime, Rainbow Raider), teasing allusions to other DC superheroes, and a full-blown crossover with the network's underrated comic book drama, Arrow."
