CW’s Arrow redefined the superheroes genre on TV.
After a ordinary epic opening of season 1, It still has the best fighting scene ever for a TV show about the Green Arrow Oliver Queen. The motion and sound effect is solid and presented in such a flow that you would force yourself not to blink even if it hurt your eyes. It's that good. With the purposeful dim lightning and misty setup, it give out a scent of The Dark Knight, and could potentially be the template for action-based TV shows on similar themes.
The story is instant classic, heroes do good deed and fight bad guys, that’s how the genre works. However, this one isn't straight up just happening in the present, but with a mix of the past that haunted the present. Memories could be scary, though revealing at times, and help solidify the episode in a remarkable way. Expect the unexpected.
The cast of Arrow is great, just look at the two muscle men fighting and showing off their bodies, ladies would scream and guys would get jealous. Though in particular, the girly assistant Felicity Smoak, portrayed by Emily Bett Rickards, stole the camera with her strong personality.
The story progress okay, you would kick back and enjoy most of the time, especially the fight scene if I hadn’t stressed enough. But at times, there are moments lack motion, lack the flow, it usually happens at the side story, so don’t worry about its air time.
You could laugh at the stupidity of the heroes, and laugh with some decent gag lines. Still, it is a superhero's episodic play, you know what you are in for.
You can catch five of the most recently aired episodes on Hulu, or six if you go to The CW. It could be the best action-hero TV show, yet.
