    Arrow is sincere and energetic but visually undistinguished.

    Arrow turns out to be a lively show, probably better than hard-core "Green Arrow" fans expected. That's a good start.

    It's an ingenious first two minutes of a series premiere, actiony and exciting and legible enough.

    Awful show. May be suitable for kids, but if you're a fan of things like Homeland, Boardwalk, Wire, Suits, Dexter etc. then stay well clear.Awful show.

I to found the hundreds of rounds fired at the hero with none managing to nick him unbearable by the end. To say you have to suspend disbelief is a gross understatement, his disguise is essentially heavy mascara and a scowl.
