Why you should watch The Flash

Even though I love comics, during my life I've read mostly Disney and manga. It's not that I don't like superhero comics, but at least for Marvel and DC the commitment seemed too big. Decades of stories, parallel universes and timelines made impossible to catch-up, and I'm the kind of person who needs to know/read/watch everything. But now with Wikipedia and new cinematic universes that don't require even a little bit of reading, I can finally get through the adventures of the most widely known superheroes. And, of course, one of those is The Flash, which recently had it's first season on television.
