While The Flash’s adventures are obviously based heavily around special effects, this series continues to keep things grounded, and the fight scenes remain as exciting and well choreographed as ever. The premiere may be heavy on character development, but it also prioritizes action, and that’s not a bad thing.

One of the best superhero shows ever! Although the writers try to make the green arrow more like Batman Stephen Amell and the rest of the cast of amazing actors really make it an enjoyable show

The pilot of Arrow is a darkly gleaming gem. If the show can keep up its cinema-quality action sequences and maintain an air of mystery to Ollie's agenda, this could be a really fun series.

Arrow is a competently-made superhero drama with an appealing lead performance from Stephen Amell.

Arrow has a rather stylish neo-Goth look, and Stephen Amell (who played a dim-bulb gigolo in Hung) neatly balances his portrayal of Arrow between camp and Saturday-matinee ingenuousness.

Granted, it's all standard superhero stuff. But the action scenes are well-handled, the emotions and the characters mostly ring true, and the plot offers enough twists to keep you intrigued.

Arrow certainly looks polished (having David Nutter direct a pilot virtually insures that), but there's only so much action an hourlong drama can afford, and the characters necessary to sustain the series are, initially, strictly two-dimensional, even with the island as a go-to flashback.

Season 1-3 are fantastic and worth watching. Season 4 tanks the entire series by trying to be goofy and pre-teen friendly (this is rated 15+ in the UK, so no idea why they went this route) and it just doesn't work. It never recovers after season 4 and just limps on until the crossover final season. My advice is just watch season 1-3. there's a literal scene where they ride off into the sunset, this is the place to stop.

A lot of ups and downs. Some really good stuff there, but a lot of it was really bad too.
It started off very well, maybe one of the best comic book TV shows in a long time, but it slowly devolved into a mutated Frankenstein of a show. It tried to redeem itself many times, often successfully, but it also quickly devolve back to the mess that it was. The show was at its best in the beginning with a smaller cast of characters. One you get too many supporting characters, each with their own storyline, the show loses focus and thus suffers for it. Overall, it's still can be quite enjoyable, but it's not great.
