This show delivers, delivers, delivers. I got nothing less than a shock in each of the first two episodes. The parallel plotting is still very very consistent. And it is nothing short of amazing.

This just may be the best TV show based on a comic. Let's see!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. also these season was cool. But a little bit worse than the other seasons. But still awsome. Almost all his friends knows who Arrow is and that becomes no longer so exciting. But this season is still exciting. I'm curious on Arrow season 4 :)… Expand

I don't know why everyone hated this season. Sure, season 2 was better but this seasom still did a very good job. The only problem i had was how easily oliver beat ra's.

This season was by far the least terrible of the 3. It is improving and growing as a series. Although the female characters are still very lacking, childish and one dimensional.

It is improving and growing as a series. Although the female characters are still very lacking, childish and one dimensional. The series itself is picking up the slack. Darker overtones, less childish, immature and intellectual dialog are becoming more of the norm.

If the female leads start becoming more interesting ie Theia and Lural, than the show has hope. However right now it seems to be running in circles and trying to fix the pit falls of the former characters, in an attempt to make them more appealing.

All in all I give the show a 4/10… Expand

I realise that reviewing this series before it's over, does not give a good impression of the overall show. But I am making an exception because I can NOT stand how dramatically this show has turned for the worst.

For those who've rated this show for its consistency is laughable.I realise that reviewing this series before it's over, does not give a good impression of the overall show. But I am making an exception because I can NOT stand how dramatically this show has turned for the worst.

For those who've rated this show for its consistency is laughable.
Throughout the current series producers have proceed to chaotically change the character dynamics of (team arrow) to an unrecognisable level. Introducing a variety of new characters without cementing their roles.

The romance with Felicity and Oliver Queen was poorly executed, and seemingly contrived. I do not get the impression that either, by their acting or story that these two should in fact be together. It seems hastily implemented, and with Oliver's relationship history = Laurel/Sara/Shadow/McKenzie/Sara and now Felicity? Seems like he's less in love and more wanting a date.
As a character the personality of Felicity has changed dramatically she's become less of the mildly humorous idiosyncratic blond IT girl and now is an overly aggressive, confrontational CEO. It is becoming dislikeable how a supporting character should have such a presence of undermining Oliver Queen's character. Big fail!

Diggle as a voice of reason is becoming almost non-existent, not being significant in any way shape or form to the current series, now that Roy Harper, aka Robin has become effectively the arrow's generically unnecessary sidekick.

Laurel taking up the mantle of the Canary?! NO! I have to say it's becoming less like the 'ARROW' and more like a rag tag band of wannabe vigilantes without any qualifications dressing up in ridiculous costumes. (Kick-Ass) but less humorous. She might be taking a few boxing lesson's to substitute for her anger, stress and alcohol issues but it certainly doesn't mean that she should be incorporated into the show as a heroine. Her acting in the previous seasons was tolerable, but her apparent lack of emotion when they thought that Oliver was dead? It is disgraceful, she was dating Oliver at one point, and is her only friend, as we can see, and does not seem to affect her. You might think with all the death of friends and family she has become desensitised to his death. But, for someone who has been a big part of her life, to die and yet show no emotion anger, denial sadness? The same can be said of all other supporting characters. Felicities rendition of a lover lost is far too exaggerated and feels unnatural. But comes to terms with it resoundingly fast.

Please rethink watching The Arrow!… Expand

By far and I mean in a massive landslide, The worst season of the show. They go far too much into the sci-fi aspect of the show and make it almost unwatchable. I mean there were several times this season where I flat out stopped watching for weeks before getting back into it. I absolutely hated it.
