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, “Tribute” (Oct 19th)
Arrow manages to spin an interesting action story out of a fairly plain set-up. Oliver protecting his identity is well-trod territory, but seeing Anatoly as the primary antagonist is intriguing. Oliver has the same problems with his kid that Krypto-Mom has over in Supergirl. The subplot with Diggle & Dinah is pretty annoying – until the final moment with Oliver and Diggle. Arrow hanging up the hood is nothing new, but asking Diggle to take up the mantle is interesting, and plays up to their weaknesses in a really interesting way. The new FBI agent plays a bit like a stereotype, but if she’s sticking around… MAYBE she’ll get good? Felicity trying to get a job through Curtis is REAL. Really good. Arrow comes back from a lackluster premiere with a solid follow-up.
SCORE: 7.5/10 Trips to Vegas
WEEKLY WIN TALLY:
The Flash: 2 Weeks
