‘Arrow’ Season 5: What We Know So Far

#3 – The Show Will Be Going “Back To Its Roots”

So, I tried avoiding this fact during this list, but I can’t get around it. Arrow just isn’t as good as it used to be. It’s not just my opinion, but just go to any comment section of anything pertaining to the show’s present state. It’s always a madhouse. The show has seen its glory days of season 2, and has been desperately trying to live up the standards it set for itself back then with little to no success. The show bounces around between dark and gritty and light and funny, and it doesn’t seem to have a clear identity for itself anymore. Well, once again, the show’s actors and producers seem to be attempting to address the show’s problems, by making promises that it will be dark and gritty (again) and will be “going back to its roots“, in a sense. It’s no secret that fans like the older seasons better, and have been very vocal relaying that message to the show’s decision makers. Hopefully they’ve heard and make the right choices for the show’s future, but bringing it back to its roots is certainly one way to start the mending process.
