Arrow was constantly CONSTANTLY hyped by everyone, so it took me by surprise that week by week they churned out some of the worst TV I have ever seen. I could only handle half of the first season before I'd had enough of that overhyped garbage.

I mean where do I start? The casting of Merlyn the Archer? How nearly every episode involved Thea throwing a tantrum and forgetting everything she learnt in the previous episode? The action scenes made for a budget of peanuts as the camera was thrust around in less shaky cam and more earthquake cam to hide you aren't actually seeing anything? The terrible pacing? Ollie and Laurel's non existent chemistry? Ollie's superhero complex, as he contradicted his moralistic bullshit by murdering every fucker who walked around a corner? Constant fan baiting to the comics, without ever really including anything for the comics fans in the show at all? That stupid Lost shit on the island? The pre school dialogue? The filler? The unnecessary side characters? The way it would portray police as villains?
