This series will be a brief, semi-comedic review of the CW superhero shows. You can check out last week’s review post here. The only shows discussed will be ‘Arrow’, ‘Flash’, and ‘Supergirl’. There WILL be some spoilers discussed, so only look at the reviews you’re up to date on!
1. Arrow, “Next of Kin” (Oct 26th)
As great as David Ramsey has been on Arrow, his time in the hood isn’t great. His tremors extending to any decision-making seems extreme, considering all he’s gone through is a costume change. The fact that the show’s now inserting a “super drugs” plot line is INCREDIBLY basic and boring. That said, seeing the squad acting independently, particularly with Rene, is great. While I miss the close friendship between Diggle and Wild Dog, Rene’s a consistently strong character. Oliver’s struggle to be a single father isn’t super interesting, but there’s nothing wrong with finding emotional maturity. Hopefully, Diggle’s non-tremor-drug-dependence will push Oliver to taking the hood again – sooner rather than later.
