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, “The Devil’s Greatest Trick” (Feb 8th)
For the second week in a row, ARROW ruins a perfectly good antagonist. Michael Emerson has put on a great performance as Cayden James this season. This episode dumbs him down to an absentee father, spoiling his demise with the uninformative flashbacks. The reveal of Ricardo Diaz being the mastermind isn’t exciting, because we know so little about his character. The Siren-vs-Canary fight is interesting, but one action sequence does not a good ARROW episode make. Where the season will go from here is unclear, as the show has now broken its season-long villain build-up. But without Michael Emerson, it’s a future that will be lacking in anticipation.
SCORE: 6/10 Basketball Games
WEEKLY WIN TALLY:
The Flash: 5.5 Weeks
