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, “Promises Kept” (Nov 16th)
Arrow continues to act like Deathstroke is a cooler character than he is. Slade was a great villain, but as Aussie Oliver, his story isn’t strong enough. I don’t care about either of his sons enough to get on board with more flashbacks. How are we giving him a new son? Is Arrow seriously recycling material from THIS season? At the very least, “Promises Kept” wraps up the Shake Sauce drug storyline, which is a consistently lame story trope. However, as much as Deathstroke wants to be Logan, or as often as Diggle wears the hood, Arrow probably won’t work until Oliver is back in the limelight.
