Season 5 manages to do something positive with its flashbacks, if you can believe it, with a wig for Oliver that doesn't look like it has its own dark powers. A strong start to what feels like it will be a much more grounded season.

It's oddly refreshing for the series to have fewer plates spinning. The plates its does keep going, however, are intriguing ones.
October 06, 2016
All in all, this was a pretty solid season opener.
October 06, 2016
This is a show that has no problems taking character work, story progression and carefully crafted relationships we've spent hours with and throwing it all out the window for the sake of drama.
October 06, 2016
Arrow continues to follow trends in this genre of superheroes and vigilante justice instead of setting them but season five has begun in a place that feels refreshing.
September 28, 2016
This is the version of Arrow we need. The grounded Arrow that knows its limitations and embraces them. The show was originally designed to be a superpower-less superhero show, and that's what it has decided to be once again in season five.
September 30, 2016
Arrow is back with - thankfully - what promises to be one of its more grounded, grittier seasons ever.
October 02, 2016
Arrow season 5 begins the process of rebuilding the show from its lacklustre fourth year, and so far, it appears that the showrunners may have a solid plan in mind to redeem Oliver Queen in the eyes of disillusioned fans.
February 01, 2017
Second Chances wasn't just the theme for Team Arrow, but an effective do-over from the show runners in finally getting an established component of Green Arrow down correctly.
October 06, 2016
Arrow just needs to build up some equity with its viewers after a couple meandering seasons. Telling good, solid stories is a start, and "Legacy" does that fairly well.
