The Flash Season 3 featured the return of all of the key players, including Grant Gustin (Barry Allen/The Flash), Candice Patton (Iris West), Danielle Panabaker (Caitlin Snow/Killer Frost), Carlos Valdes (Cisco Ramon/Vibe), Jesse L/ Martin (Joe West), Keiynan Lonsdale (Wally West/Kid Flash), Tom Cavanagh (Harry Wells/H.R.), Violett Beane (Jesse Quick), and John Wesley Shipp (Jay Garrick/The Flash – Earth 3). The team was joined by Tom Felton (Harry Potter film series) as Julian Alpert, and Anne Dudek (Mad Men) as Tracy Brand. 

 

This season of The Flash continued down the dark road set by the previous season, with Barry having issues letting go of his past and focusing on his future. A visit from Jay Garrick finally instills the fact that you can’t keep altering the past, and Barry is forced to move ahead with the knowledge that he has changed the lives of his friends (some for the better, and some for the worse). While this tonal issue has been addressed by the creative team and cast, it will be refreshing to see the series move back to a more light-hearted approach for the next season.
