After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the Pacific. When he returns home to Starling City, his devoted mother Moira, much-beloved sister Thea, and best friend Tommy welcome him home, but they sense Oliver has been changed by his ordeal on the island. While Oliver hides the truth about the man he's become, he desperately wants to make amends for the actions he took as the boy he was. Most particularly, he seeks reconciliation with his former girlfriend, Laurel Lance. As Oliver reconnects with those closest to him, he secretly creates the persona of Arrow – a vigilante – to right the wrongs of his family, fight the ills of society, and restore Starling City to its former glory. By day, Oliver plays the role of a wealthy, carefree and careless philanderer he used to be – flanked by his devoted chauffeur/bodyguard, John Diggle – while carefully concealing the secret identity he turns to under cover of darkness. However, Laurel's father, Detective Quentin Lance, is determined to arrest the vigilante operating in his city. Meanwhile, Oliver's own mother, Moira, knows much more about the deadly shipwreck than she has let on – and is more ruthless than he could ever imagine.

The series stars Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen, Colin Donnell as Tommy, Katie Cassidy as Laurel Lance, David Ramsey as John Diggle, Willa Holland as Thea Queen, with Susanna Thompson as Moira Queen and Paul Blackthorne as Detective Quentin Lance.

Arrow returns to The CW January 16th at 8 PM EST.

FIRST

Love the show!

I like Stephen Amell. He could have easily based his acting off of Bale's Bruce Wayne, but he has a certain charm, wit, and cockiness that he brings to the character that makes him enjoyable to watch.

shamo - 1/12/2013, 11:08 AM

shit series due to shit acting.

MJPETTY7 - 1/12/2013, 11:16 AM

Great series. I understand the acting complaints, but I do know Amell can act. He's acting the way he is because that's how the character (at this point) is supposed to be. Nuff said.

Darth258 - 1/12/2013, 11:19 AM

Great show.

ClarkFarley2012 - 1/12/2013, 11:27 AM

Love this show. I also need to hit the gym lol.

darkjoker1 - 1/12/2013, 11:33 AM

i love this show its awesome :D

Super12 - 1/12/2013, 11:54 AM

Love the show. I do know Ollie needs to be a little cold right now, but I'd like to see him liven up a bit at times. He has the same expression the entire episode. Still, really love seeing Green Arrow on the small screen!

LP4 - 1/12/2013, 12:18 PM

Love the show but the posters could use more imagination. They have all either focused on Amell's abs or some other part of his body. How about making a poster of Dark Archer? Or Diggs? Or best yet- Deathstroke?

Asterisk - 1/12/2013, 12:23 PM

Put a shirt on, boy

BANE5000 - 1/12/2013, 1:08 PM

I wonder how different this show would've been if Amell had gotten the role of Spartacus afterall when Andy Whitfield passed away and another actor was GA, better or worse...

MBZ1993 - 1/12/2013, 1:33 PM

the bite mark on him was from killer croc lol best show on tv so far

soberchimera - 1/12/2013, 4:03 PM

He's Matthew McConaugheying.

sameoldthing - 1/12/2013, 5:37 PM

He has a superhero build for sure but they should photoshop that weak tattoo out of the pic..it looks stupid.

Shades - 1/12/2013, 8:48 PM

Very subtle with the TASTY quote. Classy.

mgeoff88 - 1/12/2013, 10:59 PM

Arrow isn't perfect, but I still love this show.

Arrow hits its mark in my book. ;P

KingLeonidas - 1/13/2013, 12:48 AM

Stephen Amell and Hugh Jackman don't wear shirts when they are playing superheroes.

louisesmith3000 - 1/13/2013, 6:39 AM

Arrow is the most awesome show. I love everything about it, including the cast. It is absolutely wonderful.

Diana - 1/13/2013, 10:06 AM

Amell looks the part but is lacking in the acting department.

Ghostt - 1/13/2013, 6:38 PM

Good show

Could be better, but I'm diggin it

Pdouble - 1/14/2013, 7:48 AM

It's funny that people who complain about the show watch it every week. Just saying lol...
