2. The Flash season 2

Fresh off a stellar first season, The Flash went back to the drawing board in a bid to recreate that success for season 2. The show accomplished that by taking a lot of what worked in the first season and repurposing it to match the new storyline. One evil speedster was swapped out for another and, instead of revolving around time travel, we had the multiverse as the season’s central focus.

Season 2 is all about fallout, as Barry and the team struggle with the aftermath of the Reverse-Flash’s reign of terror, but any hopes they have of rebuilding all goes to hell when a new, deadlier speedster surfaces. An arrival from Earth-2, Zoom is nothing short of horrifying and serves as another formidable foe for Central City’s savior. And speaking of Earth-2, it’s hard to imagine where the Arrowverse would be without this season, as it not only introduced us to the multiverse, it bridged the gap between The Flash and Supergirl, making it season 2 that much more pivotal in hindsight.

There are a lot of familiarities, and it’s not quite as successful as the first season, but The Flash season 2 was a worthy sophomore outing and another check in the win column for the flourishing Scarlet Speedster.
