I watched it this morning and I like it.
There's a distinctly different feel from the other DC shows stemming from the premise that he's not in his 20s and didn't just recently discover his powers and decide to start fighting crime. He's an old pro coming out of retirement. He already knows what his powers and do and he employs them in a manner that shows he's pretty obviously comfortable with them.
The character struggle here won't be on whether he can find a way to generate more electricity than he did last week ("Run faster, Barry."), it'll be on trying to balance the responsibilities of his very well established family and public lives with the hero life. And I'm sure the promise he made his ex-wife is going to come up again, even if she did let him off the hook this one time.
