Arrow (2012) Season 1- Overall Review

Slow starting, but picking up pace with a bang, the first series of Arrow finished so strongly. I'm not saying that slow is bad, because the show was setting up the characters, giving them rather a lot of development... shaping them into the characters we see in later series or later on in the particular series.

Season 1 focused on Oliver's life after returning from Lian Yu (Pergatory in mandarin) and the begining of his career as the Hood. The villains he must overcome are The Count, the Huntress, the Royal Flush Gang and the series big bad guy... John Barrowman as the intense and violent Dark Archer.

The Count has to be my favourite character, with his flamboyance and creepy mannerisms but I like many of the characters. Arrow also does a good job with strong female lead characters, mainly with Felicity Smoak.

To conclude series 1 is brilliant and with series 2 it is a great comicbook adaptation for the tv.
