After two great seasons, The Flash season three falls under the same trap which saw Arrow went from two superb seasons then the story quality dropped and hurt the show and now the same thing is happening with The Flash.
Barry Allen (Gustin), aka The Flash, is living a happy and dangerous dream life in the alternate Flashpoint universe. But his nemesis, Reverse Flash, warns of serious repercussions if Barry remains there. Now Barry must deal with his identity crisis while he and the S.T.A.R. Labs team fight lethal threats from the God of Speed, Savitar.

The big reason this season is a letdown begins with the first two episodes being focused on Flashpoint, which is great they introduced this storyline, but it was only two episodes. This is a storyline should have lasted the whole season – half in Flashpoint and half the fallout.
The second reason is that this is the third season in a row we’ve had a speedster as the villain and Savitar had the same reasons to hate Barry/The Flash as Reverse Flash and Zoom. It just becomes a bit repetitive and dull.
Barry is a bit of an asshole in this season and has to learn the same lessons over and over again. It comes to the point this show should be recalled, Oh FFS Barry!

It’s not all bad, Gustin is still a great Barry Allen and the whole cast is the show. They bring the fun and action with plenty of funny moments.
The episodes that do standout are the Invasion crossover with the other DCTV shows and the musical crossover, Duet, with Supergirl and Flash was super fun and had some funny moments.
You can tell both casts loved doing it as most of them come from a Broadway/musical theatre background and both Gustin and Melissa Benoist get to show their Glee background.
However, season four really need to get back to what made seasons one and two brilliant and this time lose the multiple speedsters and villain speedsters.

Verdict
The Flash Season Three is a letdown with reparative and dull moments, but it still has its core brilliantness.
