Why 'Teen Wolf' & 'The Flash' Are Nearing Failure?

Before I start, I want to acknowledge the fact that I know that Teen Wolf finished last year and The Flash is still going strong into its fifth season, but I thought that using a complete show as some template or guide to Flash seemed convenient and necessary to make a point.

Second of all, I would also let you know that I loved these two shows when it was first out, but you have to be lying if you think that The Flash is the best that it has ever been.

When both shows started, it set off with a cult following, both having a massive adolescent fan base since they were the targeted ones, but over the years they began to falter. For Teen Wolf, personally it was after season four when they decided to make a twenty-episode season focusing on the same storyline or concept.

The long season proved to be tedious and slow-paced compared to their other concepts, but it did introduce "The Dread Doctors," and I found them interesting. Honestly, I didn't have that much of a problem with season 5; it was the second part of season 6 that I truly detested. It was just not the perfect ending.

The Flash had a similar beginning; they began with a captivating concept of Barry trying to find the killer of his mother who is also a speedster. The second season was the best; it was engaging, having a mixture of emotions to the storyline that would keep audiences of various preferences to be engaged.

The ending of season two led to high anticipation, but the outcome of season three was unsatisfactory.

Now, let's talk about what I thought made season three and four disastrous:

Firstly, there are certain limitations to the sort of TV series that Teen Wolf and The Flash are, like the tendency of repetition that is as followed: 1) First everything is ok, then there is a problem, some phenomenon, which then the protagonist realizes and there is the face-off between the two characters.

That's what started the downfall of Teen Wolf, this repetition, but it's not entirely the fault of the practice of repetition, the intensity of the show began fading after season five, and that is the fault of writers or characters trying to set the story-line.

The majority of TV shows follows these patterns of repetition, but some of them do an excellent job at setting an intensive environment of their storyline while some of them could only attempt to do so.

So why is The Flash nearing failure? Well, various factors contribute to the question, first of all, one thing I found irritating about the show was the social messages that the writers tried to convey to the audience forcibly, this just tinted the TV show. There was a way to showcase these messages, but the writers did it in a way that made the entire show a turn-off.

Other factors that would contribute to the failing of the TV show includes the unoriginal conversion of characters into meta-humans and the main character taking some of the stupidest steps to prolong the show to reach the limit of 23 episodes when the problem they had could've resolved in just a matter of ten episodes.

In conclusion, I think The Flash is failing because of their tedious concept and lack of ability to maintain an exciting atmosphere that could reach the fans, their dependence on a repetitive pattern, forcing social messages to the audience in an unnatural way and a unorignal and unfaithful story-line to the comics.
