Because…
- Ray Palmer.
- The ongoing Laurel Lance story arc.
- All the ongoing story arcs!
- The most fallible hero on TV. Oliver Queen isn’t perfect, and he carries the weight of his decisions on his shoulders. Makes him irresistible as a hero.
- Stunning action sequences paired with solid character drama.
- Complex characters making complex decisions.
- Action! Drama! Mystery!
- Moral ambiguity.
- Laurel and Thea have become two of the best characters on television. Both have a lot going on, nobody else knows, and we (the viewers) can see that these secrets are going to have a major impact on the story later on.
- The show is better now than it has ever been. Not just the best live-action super-hero show on TV, it is also the most adult. It has raised the bar for all superhero shows. If you can’t do what Arrow does, then leave the party.
