TV Review: "The Elongated Knight Rises"

Team Flash is having trouble with Ralph as the episode begins with Barry (Grant Gustin) beginning his eighth day in Iron Heights with Ralph taking out a would-be bomber in the Flash's absence. However, Alex Walker—the young Trickster (Devon Graye)—is broken out of jail by his mother (Corinne Bohrer, in a new incarnation of her role from the 1990s Flash TV series) and challenges Ralph to fight him. Just he's armed with a potent acid that can actually harm him.
Meanwhile, Barry is in prison dealing with abuse from other inmates, discovering a friend of his father's (Bill Goldberg).
"The Elongated Knight Rises" presents a major point in Ralph's story arc for the season with personal growth as well as a proper superhero costume and finally showing us how he gets his superhero name. Also demonstrated is the toll Barry's prison sentence is having on the rest of the team. This season has not only been exciting me with introducing the character I always wanted on the show, but also doing what seems to be a good story.

Viewers in the US may view "The Elongated Knight Rises" at no charge during a limited availability window on the CW website and app. With the current licensing agreement, the entire fourth season of The Flash will be available on Netflix in June, 2018. Digital versions of the episode may be purchased on iTunes, Amazon Instant Video, Vudu, Google Play and other retailers of digital video content. Blu-Ray and DVD copies of the season are expected to be available for sale in or by September, 2018.

Non-US viewers should check their local listings, the websites of the channels that air The Flash, and digital video retailers.
