The fourth season of the most upbeat and optimistic of CW's DC Comics superhero shows pits Barry Allen, aka The Flash (Grant Gustin), and his team against a new nemesis: Clifford DeVoe, aka The Thinker (Neil Sandilands), a brilliant supervillain who is killing metahumans and absorbing their powers in order to frame Barry for murder. The season opens with Team Flash—Caitlin Snow/Killer Frost (Danielle Panabaker), Cisco/Vibe (Carlos Valdes), Wally/Kid Flash (Keiynan Lonsdale), and Harrison Wells (Tom Cavanagh) under the driven leadership of Barry's fiancée Iris (Candice Patton)—creating a whole new generation of metahumans when they rescue Flash from the Speed Force. New to the team is disgraced detective Ralph Dibny (Hartley Sawyer), an irreverent screw-up who becomes the rubbery Elongated Man and evolves into a hero in his own right during the season. Barry’s energetic enthusiasm and emotional investment in his crime-fighting family helps make this bright, colorful, zippy show the most family-friendly superhero series on TV. Presenting all 23 episodes from the 2017-18 fourth season, extras include crossover episodes, behind-the-scenes featurettes, deleted scenes, and a gag reel. Recommended. (S. Axmaker)
