Arrow - Season 8 Review
by iwantmycookies | created - 27 Oct 2019 | updated - 29 Jan 2020 | PublicSeason rating - 8.5-great
Highlight episode - Fadeout
MVP: Stephen Amell
What a great structure to the final season of the show. It showcased the fully developed character/actor Oliver/Stephen have both become, and wisely used an appropriate amount of nostalgia to bring everything full circle. I definitely maintain my disappointment at the Crisis event itself - not the outcome, just the general execution and mishandling of Oliver's arc which robbed it of the emotional heft it deserved - but my love for everything surrounding it far outweighs my grivances. The finale was a great eulogy for the show, and perfectly summarised just how expansive the show became from its humble beginnings, and how influential both the Arrow character and show was.

*All of this brilliant build-up from Arrow, all for the Crisis crossover to squander it all. There's things to like here but most of it is unearned and Oliver's character was given a great deal of importance. However, his character arc was completely mishandled - mostly due to VERY poor execution. I hope the finale of this season can help ret-con my issues, and give Oliver a proper send-off.
