While the Green Arrow adventures will live on through Mia Queen (Kat McNamara), the journey Oliver took is one that will be remembered forever in DC TV history. RELATED: 5 Most Shocking Arrow Moments (& 5 We Saw Coming) With Amell’s iteration of the character exiting the franchise that consists of more than five shows, Arrow leaves behind a legacy that consists of 170 episodes to consume. The final season focused primarily on setting up the recent Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover which had Oliver give his life to, literally, give birth to a new universe.

Overall, the season was great and was a great start to the Arrowverse, now that I look at it, maybe they should have just focused on Arrow and left it at that as the splitting of all the other showrunners led to the fall of the series overall.The CW's Arrow not only gave Green Arrow (Stephen Amell) a major place in media once more but also gave birth to a larger DC franchise known as the Arrowverse. It was hitting rock bottom which started her development and her relationship with Roy is what expanded her character.

She went from a very annoying character, but her arc was really good. Thea was a character I didn't like to start off with, though that is what works for her. Tommy was an enjoyable character though it did feel as time went on, he became forgotten at times but started to get better in the final episodes. The other main stars were good, Moira was a great jaded character who couldn't decide which side she wanted to be with. The last episode was defiantly a highlight as Barrowman shined in the episode when his reasoning behind the Undertaking was understandable while still horrible. In the end Malcolm won, while his mission didn't fully go successful, it still went to his plan as he still was somewhat successful. What was great about him was that he was a great villain that ultimately Oliver couldn't beat.

John Barrowman was great as Malcolm, I sometimes had trouble seeing him as a villain when I first saw the series, as I always remembered him as Captain Jack Harkness in Doctor Who. Many people have said how they didn't like Laurel, but I liked her character, while she didn't have a great arc about her (that would happen in the next season) she was a good character IMO. I loved the developing relationship between Oliver and Diggle. But I digress, this was a great season, as Oliver was a good, flawed character, his tunnel vision at times would cause more problems. The story and characters were great, and it was a time I really liked Felicity Smoak, a character I grew a great hatred for in later seasons.

It amazes me that this first season was absolutely amazing. It has been several years since I watched this and so I decided to rewatch the Arrow series.
