I enjoyed it, even if the archery themed bits were few and far between. I worried that this was going to be a slightly darker version of Smallville, with an archery based hero.
The good news is that Stephen Amell, the actor that plays the lead role appears to have taken archery lessons before beginning filming; there are no embarrassing Hawkeye repeats in this series.
I fail to see how the protagonist, Oliver Queen, picked up his ninja like skill-set. Stranded rich playboy brat gets shipwrecked on a crappy spit of land, only to be rescued, come back to the "real" world, and kick everything that moves into a coma. I mean, even Batman took a few lessons from the ninja's, right?!
Perhaps the writers are trying to get the viewer to be more invested in Oliver Queen before starting his origin story. Time will tell.
Thus far, I would say that Arrow is promising. I will be turning in next week for more.
What did all of you think of the television adaptation of DC Comic's Green Arrow?
