The Arrow

Overview

When presumed-dead billionaire playboy Oliver Queen returns home to Starling City after five years stranded on a remote island in the Pacific, he hides the changes the experience had on him, while secretly seeking reconciliation with his ex, Laurel. By day he picks up where he left off, playing the carefree philanderer he used to be, but at night he dons the alter ego of Arrow and works to right the wrongs of his family and restore the city to its former glory. Complicating his mission is Laurel's father, Detective Quentin Lance, who is determined to put the vigilante behind bars.

My thoughts

This show is super unique for a superhero show. I love the fresh perspective it takes, a man with a troubled past wanting to do the right thing, just doing it the wrong way. Then once he learns to open up and ask friends for help, he’s able to really do some good. I like that they mix in a couple new storylines without straying too far from the original one. I also think they ended the show at the right time, they knew it was getting hard to add to the storyline without altering it so they decided to end the show.
