What to watch on Netflix: The Lovebirds, The Flash, and everything else you can enjoy over the long weekend
By Sabrina Reed
The Flash Season 6
Though the Arrowverse is now post-Crisis and has changed forever, there’s nothing like the wayback machine of a full-season release on Netflix to catch you up on what you missed.
When we left Barry Allen and Team Flash at the conclusion of season 5, they were mourning the loss of WestAllen’s daughter, Nora, who they lost to a timeline change thanks to Barry’s nemesis, The Reverse Flash. Season 6 opens with the Arrowverse’s gold-standard couple struggling in the aftermath of their loss whilst trying to prepare themselves and the team for the crisis that’s quickly approaching.
Barry has always been able to outrun his enemies, but the one thing he’s never managed to escape is his impending disappearance. Without a solution for the inevitable, Barry focuses on readying his loved ones for a world without The Flash.
But, it wouldn’t be Central City without some big bad mucking up the works. While the spectre of Barry’s disappearance looms large, someone from Caitlin’s past has his own plans for the city — namely, eradicating disease by any means necessary, even if it corrupts his personality and has the unfortunate side-effect of bending people to his own will.
It’s never a slow day in Central City even when Team Flash needs it the most.
The Flashseason 6 is available to stream now.
