Arrow

“Arrow manages to both give a crucial character a fitting sendoff and pays loving tribute to Groundhog Day.”

“Arrow is both a very different and a much‑improved show as Season 8 gets underway.”

“Arrow delivered its most well‑rounded Season 7 installment yet in the fast‑paced "Due Process."”

“Arrow continued its more focused approach in a memorable episode spotlighting Ricard Diaz.”

“Arrow's sixth season ended in strong form thanks to an episode that focused on emotion over spectacle.”

“Even without the flash‑forwards, Arrow manages to deliver another winning episode this week.”

“Far more than just a Diggle‑focused side‑story, “Spartan” may well be the most jam‑packed and eventful installment of Season 7 so far.”

“But now, thanks to the rise of Dante and the Ninth Circle, we finally have that villain.”

“Arrow's sixth season took a dark turn this week and struck gold as a result.”

“This week's Arrow proved that even minor villains can leave a strong impression.”

“Sometimes one guest star can make or break an episode. Colin Donnell's surprise return to Arrow definitely worked out in the show's favor this week.”

“That final scene served as a strong farewell to a character who’s been a mainstay in one form or another for most of Arrow’s existence.”

The episode successfully sets up the season finale with strong character moments and clear stakes, though it lacks tangible danger and dramatic tension due to the heroes' minimal injuries.

“"Prochnost" is pretty underwhelming in terms of its contribution to the larger Crisis storyline.”

“Arrow ends its eight-year run on an imperfect but ultimately satisfying note that honors a fallen hero.”

“In general, Season 7 is shaping up nicely, with little of the sluggish pacing and wasted potential that bogged down the early portion of Season 6 last year.”

“This week's Arrow doesn't quite live up to the standard of recent installments, mainly because the cast of characters is starting to swell again.”

“There are too many characters and parallel storylines playing out right now, and that clash is holding the new season back from its full potential.”

“Arrow's seventh season is full of missed potential, but the series succeeded in reinventing and reenergizing itself.”

“This week's Arrow wastes some potential but also blazes compelling new ground for the remainder of Season 7.”

“Arrow can't quite maintain the momentum of its Season 8 premiere, but there's still a lot to like in this followup.”

“Don’t you hate it when one Arrowverse episode tees up a compelling storyline, only for the next to veer off in a completely different direction?”

“While this week's Arrow couldn't keep its momentum going, it does offer renewed hope for a troubled season.”

The Season 7 premiere delivers a bold narrative shift with intense prison drama and action-packed sequences that revitalize the series. Despite pacing issues when Oliver Queen is off-screen, the episode establishes a promising foundation for an intriguing new season.

“Arrow kicks off 2019 with an uneven but eventful midseason premiere.”

“Given how badly this episode misses the mark when it comes to Deathstroke, it's a small miracle it still manages to be the second best chapter of Season 8 so far.”

“Green Arrow and the Canaries doesn't quite succeed in setting the stage for Arrow's spinoff series.”

“Unfortunately, it's also a plot point that isn't well-served by this episode's weirdly rushed approach.”

“Arrow squanders the return of Roy Harper but finally begins taking advantage of what Ricardo Diaz has to offer.”
