Arrow 2.22

Simply magnificent. Epic and majestic, with several profound moments for the characters. The whole hour was a relentless battle from start to finish, on several fronts, with the audience invested in every crisis, every character, every choice and revelation. This show has raised the bar for all superhero shows. If you can’t do what Arrow does, then leave the party. 10/10

Arrow 2.19

Stunning action sequences, some very dark moments, a couple of great twists and some great character moments (like the hug at the end). The show is really on fire, and is easily the most confident storyteller on TV right now. It’s also got the most fallible hero on TV. Oliver isn’t perfect, and he carries the weight of his decisions on his shoulders. Makes him irresistible as a hero.

But the best character in this episode was Laurel. 10/10
