SEASON 2
you will be disappointed
While season 1 was awesome even for people that didnt know the lore before, season 2 is a good example of what you can do wrong. the plot is in its very basics good but the show is missing the quality of season 1! and thats my point. the scripting ist off and directing is poorly done
if season 3 comes in this quality it will be the last.
i often thought while watching that some old dude from the 90s did produce this. horrible, still watched to the end :)

SEASON 2
Season 1 episodes summed up: Bad guy comes to town. Oliver kicks ass.
Season 2 episodes summed up: Bad guy comes to town. Oliver fails to capture him, then talks about his feelings to Diggle and Felicity. They give him a pep talk. Meanwhile someone else steps up to save the day.
Oh man, what a disappointment. Oliver is about as much of a superhero as a whiny teenager in this season. In season 1 we had a fun, relentless vigilante who not only was a clear badass, but made even more intriguing by his Dexter-esque execution of villains. Now we have a guy who appears unable to stop much of anything in his path without help from people more powerful than himself, and who refuses to kill because his dead friend "wouldn't want it".
That's not where the problems with this season end, either. The human drama element of the show has collapsed entirely, falling to the quality of a pretty bad soap opera. Rarely does a character act in a way that doesn't reek of being forced by the writers in an attempt to create drama. So many subplots simply start and end with little justification for doing other.
From the start, Arrow has been plagued with the sappy dialogue you'd expect in a network drama, but I think the problem may have been pride. The writers seem unaware that the show would best function as a typical, cliched superhero action thriller. They attempt to reach for intellectual stars but every time fail to draw conclusions of even the slightest depth. Attempting to be a deep, dark examining of the human condition just looks silly, considering that this show not only fails at realism, but at any form of true character development.

SEASON 2
Way to rip off the 3rd Batman movie Arrow... Did the writers seriously think we wouldn't notice? I mean seriously and I swear Thia and Laurel are the worlds most annoying and whiny characters. I seriously wish they would just kill them both off already. Maybe then this show could evolve a bit more and not be such a total crapfest.
