In the aftermath of his victory, Season Three opens with The Arrow now a hero to the citizens of Starling. Crime is down, people feel safer, and Captain Lance even calls off the Anti-Vigilante Task Force. Basking in his success, Oliver believes he can finally have a private life and asks Felicity out on a date. But the second Oliver takes his eye off the ball, a deadly villain reappears in Starling, forcing Oliver to realize that he can never be Oliver Queen – not as long as the city needs The Arrow.
First episode date: October 8, 2014
Network: The CW
Good Points
- Since Arrow is practically stealing from the Batman mythos then use one of the better story lines involving Ra's al Ghul and they did.
- Effective tension built up from episode to episode making the show a must watch.
- Season 3 started out very strong but started to fizzle towards the end.
Bad Points
- The flashbacks are pointless and draw away from the current story line. Go back to the island already!
- Arrow's support group (other heroes) is getting too large and distracting.
-The finale seemed to be rushed by trying up all of the loose ends and also give Oliver Queen his Dark Knight Rising ending.
Final Word
Arrow season 1 & 2 (each 5 stars in my book) set the bar very high and season 3 was a step backwards. The Arrow is a more interesting character when treated as a loner rather than part of team. I am hoping CW gets back to basics and right the ship in season 4 or this will be the beginning of the end of a good series.
My Rating
