Arrow：Season 3 UK Region
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
After being gone for five years, during which he suffered unimaginable ordeals, billionaire Oliver Queen returned home to Starling City with a mysterious agenda and a set of new skills that he uses in a war on crime in this hard-hitting action series. Reinventing the DC Entertainment character for a modern-day audience, the Arrow is not a super hero … but a hero — every bit as formidable as the criminals he’s hunting. Determined to right his city’s wrongs and sworn to bring justice to those who have corrupted it, Oliver (aka The Arrow) — with the help of his iron-fisted right hand, John Diggle, the tech-savvy Felicity Smoak and the newest member of the team, Roy Harper — narrowly defeats the vengeful Slade Wilson, his onetime ally and mentor on the island of Lian Yu. But like all wars, there are casualties. Sacrificing herself for her children, Moira Queen falls at the hand of Deathstroke, sending Oliver’s sister, Thea, into self-imposed exile with her biological father, Malcolm Merlyn. Now, to honor his fallen friends and family and protect the people he loves, Oliver must rededicate himself to his cause — to become a beacon of hope for those most in need, and a weapon of justice against those who prey upon them. He is The Arrow.
Season 3 of Arrow is infamous for being of lower quality than the previous two (I’m only discussing this season, if you want to know about the show itself, you should definitely start with the first one), due to the original lead writer moving to The Flash and characters suffering from bad changes and general lack of progression. I used to think like that the first time I watched it. Gladly, I purchased the Blu Ray and watched it again, and I have to say, the first impressions don’t do this season justice AT ALL.
This season severely benefits from binge-watching, since you’ll be less likely to forget plot points and details that you might lose if watching on TV schedule. Another thing that benefits it are repeated viewings, since you will start noticing nuances you wouldn’t have seen the first time. In fact, upon my second viewing I realized the attention to detail and subtle foreshadowing for this season is only rivaled by Arrested Development.- MacJunegrand
I’m still only about 3/4 of the way through the season, but I have not been disappointed so far. I have faith that the end of the season will not disappoint. This season, especially has provided ample amounts of action, drama and edge of your seat suspense. I’ve never read a single Green Arrow comic to know how true to the comics the story line plays. I am not particularly a fan of DC comics in general, so I wasn’t sure when I started season 1 that I would like this show. But I’ve been caught with the dilemma of getting some sleep and watching one more episode almost every time I watch. I’m sure the comic fanboys (and girls) will say that there are inaccuracies between the comics and the show. There have been a couple things that I’m not sure if I’ve missed or if they haven’t explained (for instance where Oliver is getting his money this season) but it’s fiction… I can let it slide.
I think that overall this show is great and can be enjoyed by both the comic fandom and those who don’t follow the comics as well.
