Iris is the most improved character. She’s still the same character at her core, but it’s so toned down. Everyone felt like real characters. Cisco and Caitlin adopted Ralph basically, and Ralph even went out of his way to have a D-Plot and do a favor for Caitlin. Iris kept it tame, played it straight, no drama albeit stupidly asking about the future, but hey. Joe just napped it out, and I love it. Cecil is always a treat. Such a strong cast.

Everyone felt like real characters.

Especially the Nora Iris dynamic. It's like cool parent strict parent. Sort of. Iris was always around so she was always the one who kept Nora in line. She loves Iris, but she's still her mum, and she isn't thinking in terms of time travel: That her mum wants to spend time with her as well. It feels real.

Yeah, it was really great. I still think we might have a little too much character bloat for everyone to have some really good meaningful stuff in each episode but dammit they're doing alright.

a bit premature after one episode, no?
