TV show description:
Based on the Green Arrow superhero from DC Comics, this TV series follows the tale of billionaire playboy Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell). After being involved in a violent shipwreck, he’s presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote Pacific island.
When Oliver returns home to Starling City, he’s welcomed by his devoted mother Moira (Susanna Thompson), his beloved sister Thea (Willa Holland), and his best friend Tommy (Colin Donnell). They sense however that Oliver has been changed by his ordeal on the island. While Oliver hides the truth about the man he’s become, he desperately wants to make amends for the selfish actions he took as a boy.
Most particularly, he seeks reconciliation with his former girlfriend, Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy). As Oliver reconnects with those closest to him, he secretly creates the persona of Arrow – a vigilante – to right the wrongs of his family, fight the ills of society, and restore Starling City to its former glory.
By day, Oliver plays the role of the wealthy, carefree and careless philanderer he used to be — flanked by his devoted chauffeur and tough-as-nails bodyguard, John Diggle (David Ramsey). While doing this, he carefully conceals the secret identity he uses under the cover of darkness.
Laurel’s father, Detective Quentin Lance (Paul Blackthorne), is determined to arrest this Arrow vigilante that’s operating in his city. Meanwhile, Oliver’s own mother, Moira, knows much more about the deadly shipwreck than she’s let on and is more ruthless than he could ever imagine.

What do you think? Do you like the Arrow TV series? Do you think it should have ended with season eight? Would you have watched season nine?
Keep it going please! And wish TNT would move the reruns back to the afternoon! 5;00 CT is messing with my sleep!!!
One of the best entertaining shows.,
I discovered Arrow also by watching the reruns on TNT. I got hooked immediately. I never did catch it on the CW but now that it doesn’t come on TNT I am lost. Have not signed up for Netflix to watch it as for right now I don’t have the time to just sit and catch up on all the episodes. I do plan to in the near future. Hopefully they will not cancel it as I really do like the show and it is hard finding good shows on regular television ( cable is not much better).
I discovered this show when TNT ran repeats. I liked the show so much that I binge watched all seasons to catch up with this season. I bought discs, subscribed to Netflix and also taped the reruns on TNT. A great and different show. Love it. Also watch the Flash. Like Arrow better but hope both shows stay on. Good TV is hard to come by!
I love this series and all the characters. please don’t cancel. I as well as a lot of people found this gem of a show by accident and I’m not one to watch a lot of super hero shows, but this is not like others. I don’t know what it is the cast (which I love) storylines. I just know that I’m hooked on this show and also the spin off Flash is also one I didn’t expect to get hooded on.
I enjoy the show and hope it continues for many more seasons
I too found the series accidently and was hooked. The actions are amazing and the characters interactions are riveting. I watch the originals on the CW and also the older episodes on TNT. I would be disappointed if the show would be cancelled.
found by accident also–great show do not cancel–would be good if picked up by a larger network. I feel like I’ve been living under a rock to miss this show !
Better not cancel it. Get rid of some of the other crap shows. LEAVE ARROW ALONE
Love this show!!! I am addictive! Please don’t cancel!
I love this show found it by mistake and can’t stop watching it. Catching up on it all . Please don’t cancel.
