After seeing some promos for Arrow on WB, i really wasn't expecting much, I mean they were also advertising Beauty and the Beast which looked completely ridiculous (wife tired watching it and she confirmed that it is awful)
But after watching every episode of Arrow, I'm very happy to say that Arrow is a really good show. Almost all of it has to do with the shows main character, actor Stephen Amell who i first saw in HBO's Hung, he was really funny in that show so again, before actually watching Arrow i wasn't too sure but he is great and the show is really good.
The other main reason the show works is because the hero kills.....yup, thats right, he doesn't preached about justice or that he isn't above the law, if your a bad guy then you're getting an arrow through the eye (that actually happened) plus the show hasn't yet gotten too predictable. While the writing come sometimes be a little cheesy (the one that aired this Saturday because of Halloween wasn't their best showing) you can just laugh it off and watch the Hood kick some ass.
I highly recommend this show if your looking for something to watch on Wednesdays or at the very least, record every episode on the PVR so you can watch it when your home sick or during the holidays when there isn't much on TV.
