The story and characters were great, and it was a time I really liked Felicity Smoak, a character I grew a great hatred for in later seasons. It amazes me that this first season was absolutely amazing. It has been several years since I watched this and so I decided to rewatch the Arrow series.

I hate how their seems to be somewhat of a love triangle with Oliver, Tommy and laural making it into a soap opera I hate how the side plots for episodes 6-8 focus on Tommy's development and his love for laural because this show should focus only on Oliver and not give give the side characters their own storyline and development that doesn't relate to Oliver. John Diggle is my favorite side character on the show because he is Oliver's moral compass Cons: I like how Oliver has to deal with his own conflict by trying to keep his secret away from his family, Tommy and laural and he has to try to reconnect with his loved ones because of the damage that has left them. Love how they did a great storyline for deadshot and Huntress and did great job for those characters for their first ever live action appearance. Love how the main villain for this season has a personal connection to Oliver's parents and best friend makeing the hero and villain have a closer relation, which I like. The mystery in these episodes with Moria involved it makes the audience invested to keep watching more and I love how this mystery connects to Oliver's boat crash. I enjoyed Oliver and Huntress's chemistry as these two had things in common together, that made them fall in love. The fight scenes and soundtrack were great.

The flashback scenes were great by showing what Oliver went through. I loved how Green Arrow is a very tortured, dark and a broken hero that was traumatized for being in Lian yu for five years. Pros: I love the origin story for Arrow and the motivation for Oliver to become a vigilante.

This is my review for the first nine episodes of Arrow.
