man -- determined to right the wrongs of his father and sworn to bring justice
to those who've corrupted his city. But Oliver finds his crusade complicated by
his friends and family who are all affected by his return.
Review: Superhero shows have a long history of being awful. The first one to really break this ground was Smallville. They seemed to do a great job of making the genre more serious on television, but many fans still complained about the level of cheese and teen romance, not to mention a distinct lack of super costume! Arrow comes to the CW network and it completely blew me away. I was looking for something the quality of Smallville, and what I got was a show worthy of cable TV. The lead actor, Stephen Amell defintes the role of Oliver Queen and really demands respect in a way that TV heroes haven't done in the past. This show has it all, a great serialized storyline, backstory, flashbacks, romance, action and more! Arrow is the best new show on TV.
