5. Arrow
Allyson Johnson: Listen, I didn’t love all of season three of Arrow, but the show still has plenty of worthwhile moments to keep your interest. The supporting cast is wonderful, the action is killer, and it was the stepping stone for many of the superhero shows currently on television. However, I can’t deny how excited I am to see the show go in a less dour direction.
Dana Cuadrado: Flashbacks aside, I love this show. This past season wasn’t the greatest, but I can’t wait to see where the show goes. The crime-fighting gang at the heart of the show is fantastic. The crossovers between Arrow and The Flash are perfection.
Gabrielle Bondi: Oliver Queen annoys me at times like none other (so broody), but I can’t deny that I do kind of love him at the same, and I am so surprised by how amazing well-plotted Arrow is. Season 1 and 3 may give you some doubts, but Season 2 of Arrow is pure entertainment. It’s full of hair-pulling, OH MY GOD moments that just make you love the characters so much more.
Jose Cordova: Arrow began as a cheap Batman Begins rip-off, and after a bit of stumbling around early in its first season, it figured out what kind of show it wanted to be. Arrow is a comic book show with primetime soap elements mixed in, and it somehow makes it work. I’m of the opinion that this past season was the show’s weakest to date, but part of the disappointment comes from the fact that it followed a fantastic second season. Season 2 of Arrow is a great showcase of the best parts of the show: tight and hard hitting action, larger than life characters, and crazy comic book plot lines.
The first and second seasons of Arrow are on Netflix. Season 4 begins in Fall 2015.
