Review 659: Arrow (Season 2)

 

The season got off to a flying start with the Season premiere: City of Heroes, which explored the fallout of the Undertaking and Ollie’s guilt over failing to save Tommy and by extension Starling City itself. 

Oliver realises he can't be judge, jury and executioner, he has to be the better hero.

With guest appearances from Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) and the Suicide Squad, it made feel like Arrow was starting to embrace its comic book roots and feel like it was part of a wider universe

The second half particularly Episodes 11-18 were consistently strong 

At the start of the show, Laurel is coping but clearly not happy watching her go through a downward spiral was  and Cassidy nailed it.
