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?
I just started watching Arrow a couple of weeks now and I love it. It’s a keeper!
Please keep Arrow on. It still keeps my attention. I have been watching since day one. If people don’t like it, they don’t have to watch it.
Hope it stays on–lately I have been having trouble finding it on
Arrow has been going downhill for a very long time. I can’t believe it’s been renewed for another season. I stopped watching it a long time ago. Need something new and fresh – with less mindless violence.
Arrow is still one of the top 10 TV shows if I remember correctly.
I watch a bunch of shows mostly DC and Marvel, but the Arrow is 1 of my favorite as it shows home love as well as action but my son understands now all the years we gave him right from wrong situations. Arrow should be continued to continue help parents and their children about right and wrong. This is a must in my house every aire date
Arrow happens to be a good show. Just binged the last few weekends starting from season one & I have to say it’s pretty good. Got interested in it after watching the movie “The Black Panther”. Now, watching, “The Flash”, “Black Lightning” & ready to binge on any & all DC comics series. 🙂 Please renew season 7. Like Anne said, if you do cancel, ask Netflix if they will pick it up. That’s how I got started anyway by watching it on Netflix.
ARROW IS ASOME PLEASE DON’T CANCEL MAKE IT HAVE A HAPPY ENDING KIND OF LIKE SMALLVILLE HAD BUT MAKE BETTER THERES A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ENJOY THE SHOW OR IF YOU DECIDE TO CANCEL MAKE A NETFLIX SHOW SO THE PEOPLE THAT ENJOY IT CAN KEEP ENJOYING IT PLEASE !!!!

I love Arrow! Love everyone on it!!! Don’t cancel!!!!
I like the show. I think we are hungry for heroes these days and the shows are nicely balanced in what the accomplish in an hour. Hope they keep it going.
I really like the Arrow… Kids need heroes and those of us that had them growing up appreciate still having them in our lives.
Arrow got renewed for season 7. No word what so ever that that’ll be it’s last. CW usually tells the audience if a long-time running show is ending before the last season is aired (like they did with TVD). Which means season 8 is already in the books too. And by the looks of the ratings, it most likely will go beyond that as well. Yes, the ratings have declined since its previous seasons but that’s normal for a long running show. Nevertheless even with the rating decline it currently ranks number 7 out of the current 15 shows on… Read more »
I really love the twists and drama. This show is awesome. I love the way they mix it up and help other superheroes i.e., the Flash, Supergirl, Legends. I love watching all these shows on Netflix. Hope it will help with the ratings since I don’t have cable.
Please renew I agree with Renee need a great wrap up. Would love to see him and Felicity ‘s child. maybe season 10.
Please renew for 8 season, need a great wrap up ending.
