THE FLASH (1991)

The Flash (television series 1990-91). Gail Morgan Hickman, prod., teleplay. GMH and Denise Skinner, story. Bruce Bilson, dir. Characters and premise from DC Comics. USA: Pet Fly Production / Warner Brothers Television, 1991. CBS. 11 May 1991.

US government intelligence agency develops a (female) android, Alpha One, as an assassin; the android develops a conscience and escapes rather than complete training in murder. Note references to I. Asimov and dialog and images (surprisingly subversive for commercial TV) getting us to sympathize with the android and against the government of the United States. See also in this Category the "Night Shade" episode of 13 Dec. 1990 and note that The Flash was resurrected in 2014 by Berlanti Productions, DC Entertainment, Warner Bros. Television.
