The second season fixed everything the first season faltered at and gave us a truly epic season. Season 3 started out strong but then fell apart during its second half. Right now, the fourth season has been almost as strong as Season 2, but last week's episode is by far the worst episode of the entire franchise, so who knows how the season is going to finish up. If you are just looking for some great comic book action and can look past its flaws, it is an excellent show (although, no where near as good as DD). If you are easily bugged by every relationship drama that occurs in something, then probably not. The acting can be hit or miss, but thankfully the most annoying characters do improve over time.

Season 1 of Arrow is kinda rough to sit through as it is for the most part like watching a really bad soap opera but it gets toned down as the show goes on and it begins to show it's comic book routes a lot more. My opinion on Arrow is pretty much aligned with Kain's: Season 1 is mixed, Season 2 and 3 are great, but Season 4 I'm also having mixed feelings on as well, I dunno it just feels like they're running out of ideas. The main thing that bugs me about Season 4 is them doing something that goes against what made season 3 such a big deal...but it's hard to talk about without getting into spoilers.

Flash is the one show that I think has been consistently good from the get go. It's a very different tone from Arrow and thank god they toned down the annoying character drama in that. The effects are also pretty good for a show that airs weekly.

Overall, I'd say both are worth getting into but Flash is a new show still and that might be easier to pick up than Arrow is at the moment. If you were going to pick one to start off, I'd say Flash is the one to it with.
