I haven't heard of Arrow either. Is it a TV series? Or a movie on the silver screen? Is it based on a book? If so, is there a link on Goodreads?
I watch it but I haven't been keeping up lately. I get a little tired of all the island flashbacks. I understand why they are there, but personally I'd like to just move forward at this point.
Its a series based on the comic book hero Green Arrow. I never read the comic book and while I enjoyed season 1 I've drifted away from the show in the current season. I think the relentless angst and doom and gloom is what got to me in the end.

I watch this show and I have felt like it keeps getting better and better. There are some cheesy areas, but I still think it's good.I do not read comics. My friend who is a comic fan loves this show.
They are making a justice league movie. I believe they will use this oliver queen and Barry Allen to be in the movie
Arrow gets better and better each season, do like the show. It didn't grab me at first but now I make sure to see it weekly.
I too have been a fan from the start. But I watched it originally because of the Dads: John Barrowman who plays Malcolm Merlyn and was Captain Jack on Torchwood and Doctor Who. Paul Blackthorne who plays Quentin Lance, Laurel and Sarah's dad, and played Harry Dresden in The Dresden Files. And Colin Salmon who played Ollie & Thea's stepfather Walter Steele, who has been in lots of good British tv and movies, especially The Number One Ladies Detective Agency.
I have been a fan from the start because I am a Robin Hood fan and quickly became a fan of Stephen Amell from the first episode. I never read the Green Arrow comic book and I still have no inclination to read it.
The interesting thing is that I read and loved the Batman comic books when I was a child, but I'm not invested in Gotham. I like it, but I can take it or leave it. Maybe it's the fact that the villains are more compelling than the heroes.
I watch Arrow for its protagonist. He has complexity and angst. He has made terrible mistakes, and is continually trying to redeem himself. I love that about him.
This last episode was sad. So much happened it felt like a season finale. Can't wait for the next episode to see about (view spoiler). And curious on the future of another character.
