Arrow is an American action-adventure television series developed by Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim and Andrew Kreisberg. It is based on the fictional character Green Arrow, a costumed crime-fighter who appears in comic books published by DC.
The series follows billionaire playboy Oliver Queen, portrayed by Stephen Amell, who, after five years of being stranded on a hostile island, returns home to fight crime and corruption as a secret vigilante whose weapon of choice is a bow and arrows.
On February 11, 2013, Arrow was renewed for a second season.
Anyone else watch this series? My friend actually introduced me to it, he's a really big fan. Pretty enjoyable and we're only one season in so far. It airs on Wednesdays, giving me another cool show to watch while I wait for the weekend!!
I'm in the same boat as StorrZerg. Watched the first few (3 or 4?) episodes, was very sad with their portrayal of Deadeye, and gave up on it. The plot didn't seem to be going much of anywhere and appeared to be more focused on the drama in their personal lives than the mystery of Green Arrow. Has much of this changed?
I understand the audience they are gearing the show towards is similar to Smallville's, which I also understand is not me, but I do very much want to see a great Green Arrow focused anything at the same time.
The show is a bit rawer than Smallville, and the Green Arrow here is definitely not the same one as in Smallville. However, I do agree that the show is remarkably similar to Smallville in all other aspects. It focuses on Oliver Queen's personal drama more than the superhero aspect. Even so, it's fairly entertaining and I like the flashbacks to the island.
I think it's a pretty good series now, never read the comic or anything though. Maybe not as exciting as Spartacus or The Walking Dead.. hehe, still.. a decent show "if you have time."
I really like the scenes on the island and how he came to survive. It's also getting more interesting in the later episodes because you learn that the boat was sabotaged and then Oliver's step-father goes missing for investigating the incident and lastly, that his mother is involved somehow.

I think they're more into chasing the bad guys, while still having the personal lives drama. U should really give it a shot again!
His voice sounds really really bad... Like absolute B-rated dialogue but, as I mentioned previous in the Spartacus thread with regards to Andy Whitfield, it's possible to go from mediocre and own the role and turn into a demigod of sorts (hopefully not die in the process though )
<3 my favorite series at the moment. Doesn't get the ratings it deserves imo I just love the plot, the story and the action it is great. Great script writting!
It's a light popcorn show I find. Nothing to deep or memorable but fun nonetheless. One of those shows you watch to kill some time but not something you savor even minute of.
This show is pretty awesome. It isn't your typical tv series that only relies on witty dialogues. There are some great series out there but I feel like some just rely too much on the writers creating awesome dialogues. In this show there is so much action going on and some of the created pictures just speak for themselves. Still, they have awesome character interactions.
Overall, one of my favorite still-running series besides Suits (it's just too damn awesome)
Mildly entertaining show... I also like the flashbacks much better than the current timeline stuff. Amell seems to struggle in the delivery of the emotional portions of the show. Not sure if that's part of the writing or just his limitations as an actor... but it seems really cheesy at times.
I really like it even though it at times is cheesy. Episodes have also gotten alot better now in my mind. At first not alot happened that was interesting. Now the storyline on both the island and also the current timeline have become more interesting. The acting at times is pretty meh but whatever its still entertaining.
