The overall story arc with Cicada was hit or miss. The pacing was also a huge factor, as it took time to get going. While he started out strong, he easily went downhill, I do not blame that on Chris Klein, I blame it on the writers.
The introduction to Cicada 2.0 later in the series almost felt forced, but the actress did a dang good job at playing a twisted Grace. Overall, the Cicada's were no doubt the weakest villains of the show.
The highlight of the season was the introduction of Nora West-Allen. Jessica Parker Kennedy's acting and chemistry with Candice Patton and Grant Gustin were awesome. Sherloque Wells was an interesting new character. He was not the best, but he was certainly one of the better ones.
The return of the Reverse Flash was better then the whole Cicada story line. The writing and Tom Cavanagh's acting were perfectly done, as we await to see what he has in store for the next time they meet.
The acting was strong as well. When it comes down to who were the standouts, they were no doubt Jessica Parker Kennedy, Tom Cavanagh, Grant Gustin, and Candice Patton. Unfortunately, while the supporting cast was good also, they were not given very good plot points some times.
The buildup for next season is going to be awesome. With Crises on Infinite Earths coming soon, and the reason Nora being erased from existence being teased with the emergence of the Tornado Twins, next season has the possibility to be their best season.
Overall, while season 5 of The Flash suffered from poor writing for its villains, bad side stories for the supporting characters, and poor pacing, it was easily overshadowed by the strong chemistry between the West-Allen family, the reemergence of the Reverse Flash, setting up an exciting season 6, well done humor, awesome visuals, and strong performances from Jessica Parker Kennedy, Tom Cavanagh, Grant Gustin, and Candice Patton, to add another great season to this awesome series.
