    This show gets worse as the seasons continue. You've got a good villain in Damian Darhk who is shifty enough to come up with all sorts of obstacles, but for some reason the writers feel compelled to add these obnoxious soapy complications between the main characters to generate drama.

You've got a good villain in Damian Darhk who is shifty enough to come up with all sorts of obstacles, but for some reason the writers feel compelled to add these obnoxious soapy complications between the main characters to generate drama. I don't mind it when it makes sense, but the members of team arrow so consistently act out of character that it's hard to feel like you know any of them from one episode to the next. Diggle, for instance, flip-flops like politician. One minute he's the voice of reason that keeps Oliver from going too far, and the next he's having emotional reactions and playing devil's advocate. And Oliver just keeps hiding secrets for no reason when being forthcoming would be so much easier on everyone. It's like they need at least one teary-eyed argument per episode. And what accent is Laurel's cop dad using? I know he's a Brit IRL, but he sounds like a Brooklyn-born Sean Connery. After watching the fight scenes for four seasons, you begin to notice when people aren't actually hitting one another, and it all starts to look like dance-offs between attractive people (I know, people don't hit each other in acting, but I shouldn't be able to see the fists coming just short of the enemy's face). I was in for the DC fan service the first two seasons, but now, like most shows that have to generate drama and stretch out plot lines that could be resolved with a simple conversation, the routine grows stale. I miss the days when Rhas Al Gul had all of them working together to fight an unbeatable enemy.… Expand

    I'm 4 episodes in and this is the weakest series so far. This used to be an excellent show but its lost its way a lot. The Flashbacks should have been scraped after season 2,they don't really serve any purpose and feel pretty fake .

    Its beginning to rehash itself quite a lot and the edginess of Stephen Amell is missing at the minute.. The characters seem safe now and it really needs a cull. John Diggle, Felcity and Thea could/should be replaced. Needs to be a lot darker.

    Its not playing to its strengths.Malcolm, who has been a tremendous character, is underused and uninteresting John Diggle is there all the time.
    Its ratings are way way down and if they don't pick up, Arrow will be canceled.    … Expand

    Arrow: Season 4 is the biggest super-hero TV disappointement I've ever seen, with over-focus on Olicity instead of Oliver/Damien Darhk conflict, lots of silly and out-of-character lines of dialogue, and just humdrum flashbacks.

    At this point, Arrow is not going back to the show we loved. Thank Marc Guggenheim and Wendy Mericle for that.

    He is finally becoming the Green Arrow, (YEY), but i really think that is very unnecessary so much 'Olicity', STOP OLICITY RIGHT NOW!!! The only romance that need exist is Black Canary and Green Arrow, its a damn god super hero TV Show!

    Arrow’s venture into mysticism is generally effective, with strong story arcs (Oliver as Mayor, Legends of Tomorrow setup & Damien Dahrk) and a compelling villain overshadowing the show’s tendencies to prioritise poor character arcs, corny dialogue and weak episodic villains.

    The fourth season was a new low for this fantastic show. The season overall is just dull, the acting isn't great (which is surprising considering the past 3 seasons), and the fight sequences are just slow. I still love Stephen Amell as the Green Arrow and Niel McDonough's Damien Darhk. Overall, the season has some redeeming qualities, but is just slow and dull.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Seeing Season 4 made me ask myself one question - Just whom do they think they are fooling? Oliver Queen comes in front of the camera and says he is not Arrow but Green Arrow, and everyone believes him? Even though his costume is nothing different from what it used to be in the previous seasons. Oliver and Felicity are spending their time together and they come back because...? This season also made one of the problems very major which happens in all the Arrowverse shows - the character development always happens because someone keeps a secret. Here the secret was that Oliver has a son, which was established in Season 2 that Moira asked Samantha to tell that she dropped the child. But when Oliver saw his son William, what was his first reaction? That's right, now HE will keep it a secret from Felicity. And the audacity of this man, just a few episodes ago he was mad at Samantha for keeping this a secret from him! And here we have the Teen Titans villain Damien Dahrk for the season's big bad guy. Actually he's not as much as the big bad guy as he is the bad guy. He gets arrested, comes back, then gets arrested again, then comes back, and then Oliver kills him because he killed Laura. Now Green Arrow has removed his no kill rule because it was making the plot too hard.… Expand

    While The Flash’s adventures are obviously based heavily around special effects, this series continues to keep things grounded, and the fight scenes remain as exciting and well choreographed as ever. The premiere may be heavy on character development, but it also prioritizes action, and that’s not a bad thing.
