Arrow

Season 1

DC brings another property to television in Arrow, a modernization of the Green Arrow comic. Though not tied to the Smallville series, Arrow adopts a similar style and tone. Season 1 follows Oliver Queen, who returns to Starling City after being presumed dead and proceeds to adopt a secret identity as the Arrow; a vigilante who seeks to bring justice to corrupt figures that have poisoned the city. The cast is fairly solid, and a number of impressive guest stars appear throughout the season. However, the series doesn’t do that good a job at bringing in and using the rose gallery characters of the comic; such as the Huntress, China White, Dead Shot, Red Arrow, etc. And, being a CW series, there’s some romantic angst and love triangle subplots that are rather superfluous. Yet while it’s flawed and unfocused at times, Arrow delivers a strong first season.

The season starts off dragging a bit, and it took me quite a while to push through the first third or so. But once you get through the slow start, it takes right off. Now I just want to start season 2 immediately!

I'm with @DRNKMNKY on the casting, though. Everyone (not just the female characters) is model material. Not that I'm surprised—it's classic Hollywood casting…

The only reason I am even adding this show is because I liked the part where he got home after being missing for so long.
