Arrow delivered and kept it's hot streak going.
The story line between the team and the SCPD was good, but the villains were very lackluster and were not a huge threat. Stephen Amell, Rick Gonzalez, Juliana Harkavy, Emily Bett Rickards, and David Ramsey's chemistry was great, and it felt like old times watching the team suit up.
The return of Ben Turner / Bronze Tiger was great. The reveal that his son is the future Connor Hawke was a great twist. It was also nice to see Katie Cassidy finally return. Hope that these two join the arrow team soon, or give them an arc of their own very soon.
The flash forwards are so bittersweet to me. While the acting is great, I hate the direction that they are going in, mainly due to the fact that Oliver has been blamed for Star City going into ruin. Ben Lewis and Katherine McNamara's chemistry was great, hope to see more of it in future episodes.
Overall, last night's episode of Arrow, while suffering from its villains, delivered on it returning to its season 5 roots, strong chemistry between team Arrow, well shot action scenes, return of a familiar plot, and strong buildups for the remainder of this season.
Out of 4 stars I would give it...
3.5 out of 4 stars
