Arrow

[DanaC]

Ok...I realise it is pretty silly, but I am really enjoying Arrow.

Occasionally it's funny for all the wrong reasons (I can't watch the detective guy/father of the campaigning lawyer girl without laughing, especially when he gets really serious about something). The whole thing is way too simple in terms of good guys and bad guys ... but that's ok. Robin Hood and Superman both had that. And it's chock full of badly drawn 2 dimensional characters...

yet somehow it is thoroughly entertaining. I think they've successfully got a comic book feel to it. It feels a little old fashioned in some ways. A little like the stuff we used to watch in the 80s in terms of plot and storytelling. But with a modern edge to it. It's interesting seeing the notion of a Robin Hood type figure fighting for the little guy against overweaning corporate power and corruption surfacing again.


@ Sundae: John Barrowman enters the show as a recurring guest star from ep 5.
