Everybody knows we live in the time when superheroes rule the cinemas and TV shows around the world. The countless Avengers movies, Batman and Superman, Heroes, X-Men, Spiderman. Even Aquaman is getting his movie. Not to mention that CBS is making a Supergirl that kinda reminds me of Veronica Mars. So making a TV show about Arrow, who let’s be honest, isn’t one of the most popular superheroes out there wasn’t exactly the most obvious choice, but it was definitely a choice that paid off in the end.

And to continue being honest, the start of the series was a rip off of Batman’s and Spider-Man’s origins. But then again, most comic book heroes tend to have the same back stories up to some level. Dead relatives, denial, lots of training, which all equals full blown vigilante in the end. But in this TV show, Ollie was given a family and lots of friends and allies, which is different from the comic books, where he is mostly a loner. That change ultimately paid off, since it’s really the dynamics between the characters what drives the show to the success that is has.

Another thing that is really great about Arrow is the exactly right amount of story and back-story. The story is well supported by a good script and great acting, while the back story is just complicated enough to keep us interested throughout all the seasons. The sets are also much better than in Smallville. All in all, I have to say Arrow’s success is well deserved, and while it wouldn’t be my first choice for a TV show, it certainly proved it’s worth in the first season alone.
