After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the Pacific. When he returns home to Starling City, his devoted mother Moira, much-beloved sister Thea, and best friend Tommy welcome him home, but they sense 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 actions he took as the boy he was. Most particularly, he seeks reconciliation with his former girlfriend, Laurel Lance. 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 a wealthy, carefree and careless philanderer he used to be – flanked by his devoted chauffeur/bodyguard, John Diggle – while carefully concealing the secret identity he turns to under cover of darkness. However, Laurel’s father, Detective Quentin Lance, is determined to arrest the vigilante operating in his city. Meanwhile, Oliver’s own mother, Moira, knows much more about the deadly shipwreck than she has let on – and is more ruthless than he could ever imagine.

Both Supernatural's finale and Arrow's finale are called Sacrifice, looking forward to both of them :D
somehow the flashback are more interesting ut the show is "good" the same ...even if too many ppl know his secret... :)
also i have to say, of all the shows and movies i have seen, i never thought any company could beat apple in brand sponsorship but microsoft have taken it to a whole new shameless level i didn't think was possible. thanks to this show, i don't think i EVER want to own a MS product again...
@aniforprez Indeed, the flashbacks are more interesting than the main story, that's my biggest problem with the show.
i think by now i'm only watching the show for the island backstory cause the main story pretty much sucks.
If i got a nickle for every bullet he evaded, I would be very rich right now.
I like it a lot. For me a hero taking down rich people is always satisfying! It's a pity for the Microsoft sponsorization.
Not the best 'superhero' concept...it's a mix between batman and robin hood, but it is entertaining!
Good show!
I like it.. Somekind of batman shit..
DC! Wooot! I love everything that has to do with either DC or Marvel, so this is great from the start. Only 4 episodes in, but love it already. The action scenes are a bit to good to be true for me though, no one can dodge that many bullets, but I take it for granted.
@Sparaxa I hate when he starts to talk to his weapons like "i'm gonna get the bad guy" lol
@Lenon Agreed somewhat overacting like... all the time :-p
I like this as well, it's good that we see a little more on what happened on the island every episode, because that's what keeps this show interesting.
It's a nice series, but sometimes the actors are a bit off for me
I love it!!
i must agree that the beginning was a bit bumpy but i see where this is going, will keep watching.
