Synopsis:
After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the Pacific. When he returns home to Starling City, his devoted mother Moira, much-beloved sister Thea, and best friend Tommy welcome him home, but they sense Oliver has been changed by his ordeal on the island. While Oliver hides the truth about the man he's become, he desperately wants to make amends for the actions he took as the boy he was.
I'll be straight with you, when I saw the preview for this show I was like "this is going to be dumb", then I watched it and I was like "this show is slightly dumb, but I'm going to watch anyway" The premise is great, the action on point, the actors gorgeous and some of them even very familiar to me. CW seems to recycle their actors instead of getting rid of them completely, but hey that works, Oliver however is new to me & I LIKE him. He's hot I mean just check out the picture, his acting is pretty good too. I love how complicated the story is, and that here are no easy solutions to the problems, I love his 'sidekick' who made Oliver's days amazingly hard, he is great. The sister, the love interest, the best friend, his mom they are all people Oliver is working hard to impress, and get their forgiveness. AHHHH I'm so super excited to see Harry Dresden in this (yes, I know he isn't playing Harry Dresden, but hey I take em where I can get em)

The only thing I don't like is when as Arrow or the Green Hood guy when he apprehends a criminal the little speech he gives them, you know what??? As a bad guy I'm not waiting around for your speech to finish, I'm kicking butt and firing off as many bullets as I need to get out of there.The season so far has been pretty interesting, and has had quite a few moments where I was like OMG. I'm sure when it comes back in January it will continue to be as awesome as it has been.  While it isn't necessarily paranormal they do have technologies that this 'reality' doesn't have, as well as the  Starling City isn't named after a city on any American map although it clearly is Gotham City otherwise known as NYC.

If Oliver doesn't make you want to get up and get tot he gym I don't know what will, hot damn that man is fine. It appears to be a show that's going places, and I actually look forward to the episodes each week, Yes I'm sure I could sit here and tear it apart for some of the science, but since they don't try to make it happen in this world?? Yeah I'm going to give it to them, sorta like I don't look too closely at the science of Clark Kent/Superman.
