Great premiere, remove the flashforwards and it could have been an amazing episode.
Pretty much a perfect finale to the series, some pacing issues in the first half but otherwise a strong episode.
Last episode made me miss Mike so much again in this episode, i really need to see some sort of move towards an endgame.
The leftovers from last season with Trigon was very messy handled, but the last third of the episode sets up a very promising season 2.
Decent start to the new season, didn't really like Mindy Kaling in this episode. Not really her fault, most of the Always Sunny's guest have a hard time fitting into the groups dynamic and her taking the place of Dennis, definitely didn't help either. As always some really good jokes but as a whole it felt a bit of. nice to see Dennis back in the end, wouldn't really be Always Sunny without him.
Jake trying to impress Sophia’s boss with the help from Terry certainly was the highlight of the episode. The back and forth between Jake and guest star Chris Parnell’s characters were really fun and seeing Wuntch back again was also a highlight of the episode, she and Holt just works wonders together. Gina’s storyline ultimately provided next to nothing to the episode as a whole for me.
Jake actively making it harder for Amy and Rosa to solve his case brought some comedy and Jake being kidnapped also provided some good comedy with bringing Chris Parnell back from earlier this season. Boyle teaming up with Hitchcock and Scully was nice change of pace as well, but Holt and Terry’s lies with Gina didn’t work for me in this episode at all.
Not exactly my favorite episode of the series. I usually very much enjoy Jake and Terry together but the whole Jake being injured part of this episode didn’t work for me and wasn’t very funny in the end. Holt and Diaz had some sweet scenes together but not to carry the episode and I really disliked Amy and Gina’s journey in this episode.
It's sweet seeing Oliver really care for his family and actually make an effort to show it to them. I also enjoyed seeing Oliver go head to head with a real physical threat and the reveal of the archer being Malcolm Merlyn was great. For a show with already much intrigue, this adds another lawyer of personal intrigue, that will be interesting in the second half of the season.
Really amazing pilot, that really drags you into the story straight away. It's not often i'm sold on a series after only one episode but this episode really did it and the last scene with Moira just excelled the intrigue by so much more. I really enjoy the previous connection that the characters have with each other and with that much history it will be interesting to see how they explore the characters further into the series.
Season 1 (6.5/10)
Season 2 (5.5/10)
Season 3 (5.5/10)
Overall (5.5/10)
Hopefully this Tilly storyline is now over for good because it's been BAD.
Lazy writing and some weird character makes this a pretty mediocre episode. Saru is probably my favorite character so its a huge disappointment.
Not the best written Suits episode and how many times is Louis gonna learn a similar lesson in this series, at least we got a very heartwarming scene with Harvey towards the end.
The episode worked amazingly having the 99 be the hostages in the Homeland Security training and of course seeing Jake revolt against the whole thing was funny. Seeing him trying to get over Sophia brought some fun back and forth between mostly him and Boyle. Nick Kroll was a great guest star and foil to Jake in this episode. The Holt and Gina subplot also brought some fun scenes.
Jake and Boyle working cases together is great and is possible only topped by Jake, Boyle and Holt working a case together. Andre Braugher’s delivery of “Call me Velvet Thunder” was impeccable. The other story concerning the school field trip was also pretty good and delivered some funny interactions between our characters.
Very mediocre season premiere, but of course good to finally see Lois Lane on the show. I didn't like neither Clark in this episode and definitely not Lana Lang and her journey in Paris.
Overall a decent episode, certainly not the best one. I enjoyed Thea meeting Roy and the further exploration of Oliver and McKenna's relations but a weak villain really dragged the overall episode down. Wasn't the biggest fan of Felicity and Diggle either in this episode.
Incredible episode, probably the best episode in the series. I love the island stuff so seeing the island taking up most of the episode's screen time was great. Slade Wilson and Oliver's relationship that's formed is amazing and getting Manu Bennett on this show is a treat, really good actor that can only make the island story even better. Great action and further exploration of Oliver's journey on the island.
Incredible exciting ending, and it really was the only way for Oliver after he questioned Moira earlier and Diggle following her around for awhile and getting some disturbing information out of it. I enjoyed Laurel giving Thea some work and Quentin Lance continuously struggle to find The Hood and even putting Laurel at risk. I liked Laurel's reaction to it, it felt appropriate and not too far, which many series often go to in these situation.
Good episode, i liked the interactions between Oliver and the new cop McKenna and how Oliver really goes the full length to help his sister out of her trouble. I really enjoy Oliver return to the Bratva in Starling City and am interested to explore his past with the Bratva more even further. The episode sets up a promising team-up with Laurel and Thea who i both feel haven't gotten the most character exploration so far so them working together could be great.
Good episode overall and enjoyed seeing Oliver and Diggle on the opposite side of each other for a second, it was cool learning a bit more about Diggle's past in the army as well and seeing him get an episode with a personal villain and how ultimately Oliver and Diggle work great together. I also like seeing more and more of Malcolm Merlyn now when we know who he really is and i liked the further exploration of Tommy's and Laurel's relationship.
I enjoyed that Oliver's defeat from last episode really affected him and his mission and that Diggle were the one to push him forward to continue his crusade. I enjoyed seeing Tommy caring for Laurel and working for/with Oliver but ultimately the episode overall and especially the villain of the episode was a little lackluster.
Decent episode, probably the worst so far. I'm not sold yet on Helena, don't really like her presence on this show. I really liked the scene with Oliver running after the shooter outside of the Queen company. I also enjoyed Tommy's new problem with being left without any money and how it will affect him as an person in the future
Good episode overall, and somewhat an interesting pace seeing Oliver caring more about the city as an whole instead of going after name's on his father's list. Ultimately i like that Diggle wants Oliver to do more as this vigilante. Tommy is really underrated but i enjoy Colin Donnell's performance very much.
Another good episode, it's nice seeing Oliver and Laurel somewhat working together and trying to clean up the city in whatever way possible. I also really enjoy Walter and his British manner and how he so clearly cares for the Queen family. I liked that Diggle didn't join Oliver straight away but had to process it, it shows that series isn't afraid to take it's time. this series just keeps delivering so far.
Good episode overall and enjoyed seeing Oliver doing some detective work when going after Deadshot. Once again Quentin Lance and Paul Blackthorne's performance is what stand out. His interaction with the Hood and Oliver were really good. Even though i have really enjoyed seeing Oliver work solo, this episodes leaves with an interesting cliffhanger with Diggle finding out his secret. So far only good episodes in arrow.
A step down from the first season for sure. Iris storylines were dragging and Dianne Wiest felt even more underused than the first season. Jeremy Renner and the cast itself delivers solid performances but the show overall fails to deliver after a promising first season most likely to Taylor Sheridan not being as involved with this season.
Overall: 5.5/10
Interesting and dark world that the talented Taylor Sheridan has created. Strong performances from the entire cast led by Jeremy Renner in a strong way. It was a bit sad to see that Kyle Chandler was only in the first episode but it was the catalyst that Renner's character needed.
Score: 7.5/10
I totally understand people having issues with this show and it's historical inaccuracies but i just enjoyed watching this show. Matthew Goode steals every scene he is in but special shout out has to go to Dan Fogler who plays Francis Ford Coppola. I really enjoyed his performance and Miles Teller also does a good job of a navigating the different worlds explored in the show. The maffia part was definitely the weakest aspect whilst I found the actual production and studio issues to be very interesting to watch.
Score: 7.5/10
