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.

I don’t miss any episo0des evcn though it is on Wednesday night (church night). It is profanity free and really reflects the comic book heroes of my youth. and unlike many action shows it actors can act,\. Keep It On the Air!
great show, love it, keep it going.
Great show hope it is not cancelled
PLEASE do not cancel Arrow! It has introduced me to the comic book. I love the darker parts of this series and its examination of human character and our ability to rise to the best in each of us. Please keep it on the air!
Plus, I’ve already lost Alphas, Alcatraz, Firefly – I’ve suffered enough.
why is this garbage still on the air I hope someone puts an arrow through the green arrow soon
I like the new concept of the green arrow. It’s a darker version of the comic. I would like to see where it goes. I hope you keep the show and make other DC world characters like Flash, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and even Batman. I am a big fan of superheroes and where they started.
Please do not cancel Arrow, I think it is great and look forward to seeing it on Wednesdays.
