Home Entertainment releases the Blu-ray and DVD on August 27, 2019. Fans will be able to speed-watch all 22 electrifying episodes from the fifth season, plus the show’s 2018 Comic-Con Panel, three featurettes, deleted scenes, a gag reel and more!

Shortly after defeating The Thinker, Barry Allen/The Flash and his wife, Iris, were stunned by the arrival of their already grown, speedster daughter from the future, Nora (Jessica Parker Kennedy). However, acclimating to their lives as parents won’t be the only challenge they face, as Season Five pits Team Flash against Central City’s latest scourge – the DC Super-Villain Cicada (Chris Klein).

 The Flash is currently The CW’s highest-rated series, and after five strong seasons, The Flash remains a fan favorite," said Rosemary Markson, WBHE Senior Vice President, Television Marketing. “In addition to the 22 Season 5 episodes, fans can enjoy over 2.5 hours of special features plus 2 bonus Crossover episodes from Arrow and Supergir l on the Blu-ray release."

My Thoughts

The Flash is an exciting series centered around one of my favorite superheros. This season, the Flash has many new challenges to overcome.  The last season left us with the defeat of Tinker. He and his wife also meet their daughter from the future which was definitely a cool new twist.  Things don't go cell for long because a new super villain emerges named Cicada and the Flash finds himself in over his head before too long. This season includes 22 hour long episodes including:


1.     Nora
2.     Blocked
3.     The Death of Vibe
4.     News Flash
5.     All Doll'd Up
6.     The Icicle Cometh
7.     O Come, All Ye Thankful
8.     What's Past Is Prologue
9.     Elseworlds: Hour One
10. Elseworlds: Hour Two
11. Elseworlds: Hour Three
12. The Flash & The Furious
13. Seeing Red
14. Memorabilia
15. Goldfaced
16. Cause and XS
17. King Shark VS Gorilla Grodd
18. Failure Is an Orphan
19. Time Bomb
20. Godspeed
21. Snow Pack
22. Gone Rogue
23. The Girl with the Red Lightning
24. Legacy



For some reason, I missed this series and I'm coming into it late. I still managed to pick up the plot, but I enjoyed it so much, I fully intend to go back and watch the first seasons. It's an exciting series with nonstop action and a great story line. Its fun to get to see extended versions of your favorite superheros. If you want to check out The Flash: The Complete Fifth Season  for yourself, you can find it online on Amazon on in stores nationwide.
