Season 6 follows new events, with Crisis only a few weeks away. Now, Barry tries to set up a team member for Team Flash for life where he tries to catch a hideous world, and Ralph reveals the secret of the family that will change the course of events. Meanwhile, Barry and Iris are still trying to face their fate in order to deal with the tragic loss of their daughter Nora.
This isn't just a great episode of The Flash, it's a mission statement for this show going forward, and it's an example of what I'd like to see more of across the DC TV line.
There's still room for improvement and the show would undoubtedly benefit from changing things up a little but The Flash is as fun as ever and seemingly back on the right track as the hero races into his sixth year on the air.
After two rough seasons in a row, it's unrealistic to expect The Flash to completely and fundamentally change in the course of a single premiere episode. Even so, "Into the Void" serves as a promising start to Season 6.
This episode took us through the motions and should be renamed heart to heart... This episode brought the best mix of what makes The Flash great, and it's only going to get better.
'Into The Void' was a welcome change-of-pace for the show as it took a moment to focus on its characters ahead of the story, while also successfully reintroducing the Crisis as a major threat.
