Only if it's used well. Fear and loathing in Las Vegas style, actual flashbacks. In games I usually get bored in flash backs. Use it sparingly at key plot moments, not for half an hour of character exposition. That's not a flash.
I'm more annoyed by flash forwards though. Show starts in the middle of the action, looks exciting, then it says 36 hours earlier. Momentum gone, dead stop. Whatever. How to get away with murder takes that to the extreme. Any excitement of what's going to happen is long gone due to how they show a bit more of what's going to happen in every episode.
Mr Robot on the other hand handles it perfectly. Best new show this year.
