This was one show that I didn’t start out watching, but then once I started I wished I had started watching it from the beginning. One day I decided to watch an episode and I will say that I have really enjoyed this series.

The series starts off slowly feeding the back story to Oliver Queen and how he ends up becoming the arrow while he struggles with his identity in the present. At first, considering how any show with approximately 22 episodes in a season is apt to drag on, this show has a good enough story that really adds intrigue to ‘the arrow’ and why he is who he is.

In season 3 for instance, after I started to watch the Flash, I enjoyed the Arrow but didn’t really believe that he had any chance against the Flash. But, the most recent crossover between the two shows did a wonderful job of building up both shows and it’s characters, rather than diminishing one or the other.

Stephen Amell, in the Flash episode, called ‘The Flash vs. the Arrow’ I believe, he says, “You’re really fast Barry but being fast has nothing to do with discipline and precision.” Then, the story just continues to play out in a way where the Flash is fast but goes to show he is not a soldier at heart, at least not yet. In many ways, they are heroes but very different and yet childlike. But they also act childish.

For example, there’s a moment where Amell is interrogating this female psychiatrist about Cupid and she says ‘maybe you should think about seeing a shrink’. But, all you can think about is, well, ‘why don’t you try living on a deserted island full of people who want to capture and kill you. This being after seeing your father who admitted a whole variety of happenings just kill himself. The last episode with Ra’s al’ Goul or whatever was awesome. You will want to make sure you have ample time to watch it, and when you are not watching it; you will be wishing you were.
