Arrow (CW)
This show has gotten too awesome since the beginning of the second season. League of Assassins, Bronze Tiger, Amanda Waller and A.R.G.U.S., Professor Ivo, Brother Blood, Miraclo (or Miracle/Mirakuru, whatever they're calling it), and of curse last night's episode had the origin of the Flash (which made the collective DC nerds around the internet squeal), the origin of Solomon Grundy (fucking ace), the origin of Green Arrow's mask (yes, his mask gets an origin), and
Spoiler:
I like how they've slowly progressed everything, showing Ollie go from vigilante to hero, slowly developing the League of Assassins, and even setting up Grundy like they did. Not to mention introducing superpowers in the first place. This show is everything you can ask for in a DC show. Grant Gustin is an awesome Barry Allen, and I love how close they kept his origin to the comics. Can't wait to see his show next year.

Definitely the best thing DC has going for it right now. Hopefully that extends to Flash and the rest of the TV universe they're building.
For the record, they have Hourman, iZOMBIE, Avenger, and Young Justice live action shows in the works right now for the CW, in addition to the Flash show. Good times. Arrow has also hinted at Blue Beetle and The Question is rumored to be appearing this season, so wouldn't be surprised if those two got shows as well if they prove to be popular.

I was wondering when somebody was going to make a thread here for this awesome show.
This show has been full of easter eggs and cameos for big superhero fans like me. Of course the show itself is dang awesome too. Malcolm Merlyn also gets points for being one of the few supervillains ever to succeed in their plans, through simple redundancy. Always back up your plans. And I'm not afraid to admit that I was almost one of those squealing DC nerds on Wednesday night at the end of the episode. But then, I've been near-squealing ever since Slade Wilson first appeared back in season 1.

been watching since past few days, totally hooked on the series. even though it's a television series it seems a good of money is spent on it, it's shooting,effects and action is as good as that of a movie's.

I see. There was a rumor that the TV executives didn't want the show to be called Green Arrow due to Green Lantern and Green Hornet failing at the box office and they fear the word "Green" might make the show unpopular due to the two movies mentioned.

As for whether or not you would like the show, well, it is a very good superhero show about a vigilante who struggles to become a hero whilst vanquishing his own demons, mixed with decent soap opera drama. The fact that it has some good choreography is a plus, and the acting is always competent to above average (as is the dialogue and writing). It also has very good world building with an eye for slowly incorporating the larger DC universe into its storylines. |
