The people beind the show, the CW, i'll always love for bringing me the Flash, but by the gods do they do a piss poor job of it sometimes! They firstly explain that Barry can go really fast and has a slowed perception of time. They don't ever say if it's always on or if it's something he can turn off. We also can't assume this because the show says it one way but acts it out another.

The Flash is always being shot or hit or TOO SLOW TO CATCH UP TO A BIKE OR TOO SLOW TO LOOP AROUND A BUILDING A FEW TIMES TO FIND A REGULAR HUMAN THAT IS ALOWER THAN A SNAIL TO HIM! Think about it. There's a snail in front of you. You close your eyes for a few seconds, it can only get so far. There's no way you can't catch it, it's a snail. That's Barry everytime he lets someone run away. RUN AWAY. From the "fastest man alive".

At the end of the day, it's just bad writing. The CW, sure, they made the Flash by good writing as a whole. Overall, it's great. It reminds me of a soap opera at times but it's good. In detail, it's shit. The 'little' things, Barry's actual speed, the Tachyon Device, the Speed Force, Time Wraiths, reaction times, super metabolism, friction-proof suits, time travel, powers, Barry's fucking IQ level! It all adds up. You could take the overal story of the Flash, a young man, becomes good at something, there's betrayal, love and a fight for good and an overal meaning of getting better, and you can literally slap that story on any other non-action show. You rip the Flash out of Flash and you could have a show about anyone. So overall, it's good, but there's no attention to detail and logic consistencies at all!
