Now this was absoluty amazing. Following the introduction of Barry Allen to Arrow, his back story and life after the coma he is put in is explored. This episode is quite fast paced for a pilot, which I think could be watched without seeing Arrow. However watching the episodes Barry appears in gives a great understanding to the character, even if you do see the accident in the pilot.
The whole premise of the show is how Barry uses his powers gained in the S.T.A.R Labs accident to help fight crime and get his father out of priosn, convicted for the death of his mother. Unlike Arrow, there are a lot more C.S.I styled investgative skills and follows a simiar formula to Smallville's villain of the week.
The pilot's big baddy was Clyde Mardon, who in the comics goes by the name Weather Wizard. As mentioned in the trailer, people have been given powers by the accident and he can control the weather (like his New 52 portail.) I happen to like Chad Rock's portrayl as Mardon and hope that the quality of the vilains stays as high as they did not only in this episode but in Arrow.
This episode is to be aired October 7th in America and would say if you like superhero shows with detective work and action then this is a great show for you.
