2. About This List

Due to the understandable and unexpected imperfections of the entertainment world, there’s no official watch order for the Arrowverse. This episode list is a suggested viewing order favoring broadcast date with exceptions clearly noted.

Steps have been taken for all of this to be SPOILER-FREE, but by their very nature episode titles alone can sometimes reveal previously-unknown information, so proceed with care.

When does Chronicles of Cisco take place?

The exact time frame is not clear, though Cisco’s reference to a character who was first named in The Flash “Flash Back” suggests the events of the series occur after “Flash Back.” Note that Chronicles of Cisco no longer has a permanent place on the Internet.

Chronicles of Cisco 1.02 2016-04-26
“Episode 2” (2 min)
Chronicles of Cisco 1.03 2016-05-03
“Episode 3” (2 min)

Why are some episodes of Chronicles of Cisco out of chronological sequence with other shows?

The first episode is placed chronologically as expected. Because the episodes are so short the entire series is listed together here for practicality.

How does The Flash “Versus Zoom” link to another show?

Barry Allen’s dialog and technology suggest the events of Supergirl “Worlds Finest” take place during The Flash “Versus Zoom.” They are listed here chronologically (as originally aired) since nothing indicates they should be moved.
