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?

Arrow is a horrible show now get rid of this crappy show

Still a great story, TV series. Don’t cancel. Please renew.
❤️ this show and truly hope it goes on for years. Love the crossovers and because of my love for Arrow it has introduced me to Flash ❤️, & Legends!!ARROW is the best!
Definitely renew – just give us a happily married Oliver and Felicity working together in stopping crime. Let them be a much needed good example of marital sussess and support.

Love this show, so exciting!! Please keep it going on and on!!
I hope they don’t cancel, great show. Personally think Oliver and felicity need to have a baby to add to the mix.
Renew arrow I absolutely love the show
Love this show! My son Idolizes Stephen Amell. Met him at FanExpo last year. We are forever fans of this show…please never cancel
A fun-to-watch, with good acting, drama, humor, and a ‘can’t wait for the next episode” mindset, show. Love Emily, who brings much of the humor. Willa does, as well.
The use of flashbacks is done very well; giving a sense of a 2nd show/storyline or layering effect.
While not always dramatic, the cast does drama well.
Bravo ARROW. Great show.
The best show on tv
Always look forward to Arrow; especially “Olicity.” We need the Olicity “happily forever after” ending.
I hope for renewal.
I have really enjoyed this show. It never gets boring or slow. I hope it renews.
