Green Arrow ( TV Series ) :-
After a disappointing Series of superheros kind like HEROES i didnt wanted to try superhero TV series for quit sometime , but lately there been so many talks about this series and i decided to watch. In just a week completed a long saga of episodes in Season 01 almost 23ep and in Season02 there were 05ep till date .Starting with cons...
Cons
Unfortunately there are so many logic skips even we would stop counting on after a while. Sometimes it might give you that ackward feel too to know what the heck is happening out there. And more over Arrow doesnt wear a mask but strangle that he manages to keep his identify from people easily even when people talk to him so close. Yes he switches of lights in room , he moves in dark but there are so many times he does talk to people face to face and yet none would knew it is Oliver which is very strange. The costume could be more better and when he is ready to invest so much for gadgets , he should consider using a better costume which even superman had switched to a newer gear. First eight episodes will be a epitome of logic mistakes and will drag you a bit but it would slowly starts its phase later on. Oliver keeps on telling more then thousand times " life back in the woods " & " you know what i went through in the woods " which gets to irritating point after a while. Happy that at end of Seaon02 Ep05 he decided to finally talk and share instead of those above irritating quotes. After-all we cant blame such a longest season has few flaws under a ignorable proportion.
Pros
Unlike any-other superhero movies , this Arrow does have something in it to keep you entertained all through these episodes. Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen (a) Green Arrow was just stunning superb with his mind blowing performance. The way he takes up his character and delivers a kick-ass performance was just osm. The team he assembles on the run John Diggle , Felicity , Sara , Roy were all stunning and he initially starts as a single warrior and now he has a big bunch of team fighting for the good for starling city. I also liked Oliver friend Tommy and Detective Quentin characters in this series. First season he had a definite plan and second season , its kind of lost but he shapes up like a batman for Gotham city. Arrow is just going to fight anything bad in Starling city. He is getting new team , new gadgets and yaa off-course new girlfriends too which changes every episode fortunately :) . Every episode brings a new feel were arrow takes out a new entity in starling city and the way he manages as a billionaire Son of queen family at same time as Vigilante which is what keeps every viewer like us going.
Verdict :
What makes this series more interesting is that they dont tend to spoil the phase of the series by just running few episodes on flash backs of arrow uprising in hoods , but instead they try to mix it slowly with every single episode which doesn't overdose us and also keeps us bit more engaged to know what happened on hood to Oliver. Every episode the transformation of oliver to green arrow is damn good and felicity she just can hack into any database as per her will. The phase of the series was really well maintained and visuals were all stunning especially the shots taken in Hoods.This is no less than Batman begins or dark knight that if you loved Batman then sure you would love green arrow. There is no superpower anyone process and every stunts performed were humanly possible as was shown realistically and may be same reason why many would love this series. I am not sure how it would go from here on but as with the episodes till date was worth watching and i would recommend this to any TV series liker. Don't miss it.
