Arrow, the T.V. show you should be watching

When I was a small child, I fell in love with the Green Arrow character on my favorite cartoon series the Challenge of the Superfriends. Later, I discovered him in comics and finally in a Kenner Super Powers action figure. Anyway, there was always something that drew me to the Emerald Archer. He just kicked ass in my eyes, especially when he teamed up with the Green Lantern. Now those were some of my favorite comics as a child.

Well, years go by and I still followed Oliver throughout his many costume changes as well as team changes and I still loved the character. Then a show called Smallville came around and introduced us to Ollie in a different view, but it worked for the show. I was happy that the Green Arrow got some recognition even though they changed his back history a little bit. I mean we all know that Oliver was not a guardian of Metropolis. But that idea seemed to work for the show. Then all of a sudden no more Smallville on the small screen.

Rumors ran wild with a Justice League series or Superman, but one rumor was a constant and that was a series about the emerald archer. The only question was, who would be cast as the Green Arrow? Well, I just assumed they would stick with Justin Hartley from Smallville fame, but the writer’s wanted a different direction. At first I was pissed but then I was excited to see this new direction.

Well, let me tell you, when I first saw the first episode I was hooked. The action is nonstop and Stephen Amell is by far the best Arrow that has ever graced television. The show is very believable and realistic and I think that is what draws in the fans. That and the fact that they introduce some of the best villains in the DC Universe. I mean it has only been one season but we have already seen the Royal Flush Gang, Deathstroke, Deadshot, Count Vertigo, and Merlyn to name a few. This season has also introduced us to the Huntress and Roy Harper. You cannot go wrong with this series. This is by far the T.V. show everyone who calls themselves a comic fan should be watching. Hell, what am I saying, you should watch this show even if you do not read comics because it is just a kick ass show!
