    Arrow is back with--thankfully--what promises to be one of its more grounded, grittier seasons ever. ... Perhaps the best news is that the fifth and final round of flashbacks are, one could argue, as compelling as the current-day narrative.

    A strong start to what feels like it will be a much more grounded season.

Hopefully it continues to show a grounded Green Arrow and he uses more of his arrow gadgets this season. More arrow vs arrow is what I like to see!

Arrow works best when it's grounded in reality, which is why the first two seasons were so successful.

This season has been great so far, and has the potential to be one of the best seasons of the entire show.… Full Review »
