Arrow Season 1
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
I am old, but I love the Arrow. At a time of a tragic double loss in my life, when I was depressed, and unable to focus on what I needed to be doing, the only thing that made me happy, lifted me up, and took me away from all that was going on around me, was the Arrow. I ran across this show by accident, had never heard of the Arrow before, but I am so glad I found it. I love Stephen Amell and all the characters. In my opinion the casting is perfect, there is never a dull or boring moment, great story, lots of action, normal people dealing with things in their lives, while fighting against the evil, to make things better. It was hard for me to wait for the next show, so I bought all the shows that are out, and have a pre order in for the next series. I guess you could say I am probably the biggest fan, and I hope it does not change into something else, I hope it does not fail me in the future.

“Arrow” is a soap opera with a comic-book background, and it was definitely finding its feet this first season. Stephen Amell does a pretty good job of showing Oliver Queen’s change from “Ollie the playboy” to “brooding almost-hero”. (Later he gets to show more emotional depth, but that’s for another review for another season.) David Ramsey and Emily Bett Rickards really strengthen the cast, with Mr. Ramsey bringing a reality and solidity to a situation that’s hard not to mock in real life (really? arrow-shooting-vigilante? reeeaaaallllllly?), and Ms. Rickards’ energy and honesty are endearing and another flavor of reality (Felicity’s facial expressions at Oliver’s lies are PRICELESS; when Dig joins her in the eyerolls, you’ll have to hit pause while you giggle). Susanna Thompson also brings an honesty to Moira Queen (honesty? Moira Queen? hmmm….) that makes her creepily believable and even likable. Everyone else’s acting had a weird kind of clench-jawed-ness to it, although I was sad that A Certain Character was killed off at the end of the season; I think that role and situation had potential.

I read some of the posted comments and the majority were really quite positive. I had been looking for an adventure series that I hoped would not get me interested like Lost did and then during season three turn into a pathetic soap opera. So far this series has me staying up late with interest.
The stories are not too far fetched, the Island background is most interesting, and the acting from these fine actors is top notch. I hope I am not letting too much out by saying this, but this series has some of the most exquisite and talented actresses (I know, they want to be called actors.) I have ever seen.
Katie Cassidy is stunning to watch.Willa Holland is beautiful and mischievous, Susanna Thompson’s heart-stopping pulchritude is almost enough to make one forget the story lines.
The two actresses I hope stay involved with the show for as long as it lasts are Kelly Hu and Emily Bett Rickards. These two ladies walking into a room would make blind men wish they could see and lame men walk. I also hope we see more of Janina Gavankar.
The male actors are not slouches. They are great actors.
I love the stories and there is enough jeopardy to keep ones attention.Maybe if I periodically write glowing reports of this series the producers will invite me the set one day. I am only half way through season one.
