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, “Shifting Allegiances” (April 26th)
It seems like Arrow taking it “back to basics” means episodes with next to no actual Green Arrow in it. All Oliver does this week is have an underwhelming argument with Anatoly. Diggle getting in with ARGUS makes a lot of sense, and his team-up with the B-Team works well. The Rene freezing in combat storyline feels too much like Diggle’s freezing in combat storyline. That said, it would’ve been a more interesting choice to let Wild Dog totally retire, making the show less saturated with heroes. Diaz still isn’t all that frightening – Anatoly’s really that disgusted over Diaz punching Oliver twice? For ARROW to set itself straight, there needs to be a much stronger focus on the titular archer.
SCORE: 6.5/10 Weapon Trucks
WEEKLY WIN TALLY:
