    The first half of the season is geared towards Oliver assembling a new team of vigilantes because his old team left him. The second half..who knows. So far, It's been neither good nor bad. It's only 2 episodes in so this review could change for better or worse. I am really getting tired of Arrow though. It's the same recycled stuff each season. Flash is a much better show.

    "Arrow: Season 5" goes a long way to make the show a better watching experience than it was in the previous two seasons, and while it mostly succeeds on the action, narrative focus and tone front, the series continues to be as expositional and procedural as it was in Season 3 and 4. However, ultimately it finds its strength and the final episode gives the dramatic punch the show deserved."Arrow: Season 5" goes a long way to make the show a better watching experience than it was in the previous two seasons, and while it mostly succeeds on the action, narrative focus and tone front, the series continues to be as expositional and procedural as it was in Season 3 and 4.

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

    “Legacy” very much feels like Arrow trying to find its footing once again, and though the episode takes some steps in getting the show back on top, more work has yet to be done to redeem the series for last season’s jumbled narrative.

    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.
