The Arrow season 5 finale was, at its core, ultimately a battle between good and evil. What made it so interesting was how often the lines blurred from start to finish. For a prime example, all you have to do is look for a moment at the death of Malcolm Merlyn. Here you had a […]
At the start of Arrow season 5 episode 22, there was something that felt altogether strange and foreign for the CW show — peace. Oliver Queen celebrated his birthday, he and Felicity were getting closer romantically, and Adrian Chase was behind bars, incapable of causing trouble to anyone. Unfortunately, here’s the bad news: This is […]
Arrow season 5 episode 21 was entitled “Honor Thy Fathers,” which was a reference to an episode fairly on during the series’ run. It didn’t take a whole lot of time to understand why after watching this installment play out. It was emotional, but it also showed precisely what the weakness in Adrian Chase’s armor was: […]
Going into Arrow season 5 episode 20, odds are you were familiar with the abundance of buzz that was out there about the episode. Heck, “OLICITY IS RISING” was a trending topic for a while, and all signs were clear that the defining couple of the show for many people out there would be at the core […]
We don’t want to wait — let’s kick off this Arrow season 5 episode 19 review with praise for the story of Rene’s daughter. Rick Gonzalez in general may be one of the biggest and most welcome surprises of the entire season. Going into season 5, we had no idea that he was going to be such […]
Oliver Queen wanted out. He made this clear to John Diggle and Felicity Smoak early on in Arrow season 5 episode 18 entitled “Disbanded.” Also, he wanted them out. He wanted the team gone.

Holy crap. Those were the first words that we had after watching Arrow season 5 episode 17, a signature episode that somehow raised the game even from what we saw last time. If this is what the show is capable of, this is the direction that we hope that the writers continue to go in. Never relent, […]
Before getting deeper into this Arrow season 5 episode 16 review, let’s start things off with this: Josh Segarra is tremendous. He’s now entered the Manu Bennett level of tremendous when it comes to villains for this show. Adrian Chase is terrifying, but at the same time also highlight intelligent, crafty, and in his own words, “ten […]
Congratulations to the writers at Arrow — they found a way to have Prometheus revealed that somehow surprised us. Right in the middle of Wednesday night’s “Fighting Fire with Fire,” the show made one of its gutsier moves in outright revealing that it was Adrian Chase, the District Attorney who works with Oliver Queen at the Mayor’s […]
After last week’s fantastic if unusual episode of “Arrow” entitled “Spectre of the Gun,” we got a chance tonight to see a little more traditional episode of the show. There were three returning villains, even more relentless action, and then also some opportunity to build towards the big reveal of the season: The search for […]
