Is anyone watching Arrow on the CW right now? It's on every Wednesday night at 7pm central on the CW and so far, I am loving this first season! I checked out the pilot when it made it's debut in October and I was immediately hooked. It tells the story of Oliver Queen, the heir to the billionaire corporation that is supposedly corrupting and destroying the home city Oliver loves so much. After Queen is stranded on an island for 5 years after his yacht was caught in a storm and sank (the sinking of the ship may or may not have been an accident). Oliver made it to a life boat with his father, who ended up taking his own life in order for Oliver to live on. His dying wish was for Oliver to correct the mistakes his father made in his past, basically removing the corruption from the city.
Oliver is a changed man after being rescued from the island. Five years later, he's a trained killer. He returns to his home but brings a persona with him. In order to remove the corruption from the city without raising any alarms from different people, he must become the Arrow (a play on of the DC comic hero, the Green Arrow.)
Queen also returns home to his family, his best friend, and his ex-girlfriend who he must make amends with and re-bond with after his time on the island.
This is a very brief synopsis of what to expect if you watch Arrow. If you love superheroes, this is probably the best superhero TV show to date, exceeding Smallville in my opinion.
Check it out, I doubt you'll be disappointed.
3.5/5 stars
