Season 5 had the bad guy win but I guess you didn't watch it


* DownerEnding: The first SeasonFinale to be quite bleak. Barry's speed is still running out, TheBadGuyWins indefinitely, Sue now has to go on the lam because of a FrameUp, the prisoners in the Mirrorverse are are still trapped and are nowhere near figuring out how to escape, and to top it all off, ''something'' happens to Iris while inside the Mirrorverse. Thank goodness for that RayOfHopeEnding.
