Arrow

I wasn’t particularly interested in checking out this show when it first started, thinking it was just cheesy, but a friend of mine kept saying how good it was, and so I finally decided to dig into the first season, and I must say, I’m having a lot of fun watching it so far. I’m 13 episodes in, and things keep getting more and more interesting – and I’m told that season 2 is even better. I also like that if you know the comics, you get hints based on character names, and they’ve been able to attract some great actors too, like Torchwood/Doctor Who’s John Barrowman and Spartacus‘ Manu Bennett. Sure, there are still cheesy elements in the show, but for the most part it’s nicely done, and the flashbacks to the island add suspense to the narrative.
