Game of Thrones: Season 4, Episode 1 (2014) EDIT “This is pretty much everything a fan of the books or show could ask for, as we're well passed the time for handholding.” – We Got This Covered Mar 28, 2019 Full Review Arrow: Season 1, Episode 11 (2013) EDIT “That's the Arrow I want to be watching every week, where having Oliver deflect a grenade with a trashcan lid is just icing on the cake, not the cake itself.” – We Got This Covered Jul 30, 2018 Full Review Arrow: Season 1, Episode 10 (2013) EDIT “While "Burned" isn't nearly as impactful as the solid mid-season finale, it did a better job than the average outing at demonstrating how the show is changing for the better.” – We Got This Covered Jul 30, 2018 Full Review Arrow: Season 1, Episode 17 (2013) EDIT “Despite how long it may have taken, Arrow has proven it can prop up initially anemic characters, even some I basically dubbed irredeemable months ago.” – We Got This Covered Jul 30, 2018 Full Review Arrow: Season 1, Episode 5 (2012) EDIT “["Damaged"] was firing on all cylinders, delivering the tight, fun, respectably acted hour of superhero television that the show has been striving towards, one which will hopefully become the new template for future stories.” – We Got This Covered Jul 30, 2018 Full Review Arrow: Season 1, Episode 13 (2013) EDIT “It not only disappoints me to tell you that the latest episode ranks among the most myopic, but also that it's hard to summarize what exactly makes "Betrayal" any worse than other entries.” – We Got This Covered Jul 30, 2018 Full Review Arrow: Season 1, Episode 12 (2013) EDIT “"Vertigo" is another episode showcasing how parts of Arrow have a higher ceiling for quality than most weeks let on.” – We Got This Covered Jul 30, 2018 Full Review Arrow: Season 1, Episode 6 (2012) EDIT “Unfortunately, even when freed from the corporate confines of the list, this week's adventure didn't make for one of the season's stronger ones.” – We Got This Covered Jul 30, 2018 Full Review Arrow: Season 1, Episode 4 (2012) EDIT “"An Innocent Man" is easily the worst episode of Arrow yet aired, one where the usual foibles don't come off as ineptly charming, but as grating distractions.” – We Got This Covered Jul 30, 2018 Full Review Arrow: Season 1, Episode 8 (2012) EDIT “"Vendetta" whiffs it pretty hard by letting the ethics of the question at hand become secondary to the childish behaviour of those doing the decision making.” – We Got This Covered Jul 30, 2018 Full Review Arrow: Season 1, Episode 20 (2013) EDIT “While "Home Invasion" rallies hard to a strong finish, a good half of the episode is a reminder that we could all use a a break from "case of the week" Arrow.” – We Got This Covered Jul 30, 2018 Full Review Arrow: Season 1, Episode 14 (2013) EDIT “The truth behind many of the season's biggest mysteries still remains unclear, but the mysteries themselves have become better defined, with clearer stakes developing as shreds of information are gradually revealed.” – We Got This Covered Jul 28, 2018 Full Review Arrow: Season 1, Episode 3 (2012) EDIT “"Lone Gunmen" gets in a bit of fan service by adding a named DC comics character to the villain roster, but it gets more mileage out of Deadshot than it did China White.” – We Got This Covered Jul 28, 2018 Full Review Arrow: Season 1, Episode 19 (2013) EDIT “Episodes like "Unfinished Business" really aren't good for Arrow's health in the long run, because no amount of crazy is sustainable forever.” – We Got This Covered Jul 28, 2018 Full Review Arrow: Season 1, Episode 18 (2013) EDIT “Using a defunct subway line to strike at the problem part of a city certainly sounds an awful lot like the evil plot featured in a movie that...has been compared to Arrow frequently, and rhymes with Ratman Ree-gins.” – We Got This Covered Jul 27, 2018 Full Review Arrow: Season 1, Episode 21 (2013) EDIT “While "The Undertaking" doesn't really make good on what's implied by the title, the bigger surprise is that it still manages to be one of Arrow's best episodes to date.” – We Got This Covered Jul 27, 2018 Full Review Arrow: Season 1, Episode 2 (2012) EDIT “The show will live or die based on its lead, which is why "Honor Thy Father" leaves me more hopeful for Arrow's future than last week did.” – We Got This Covered Jul 27, 2018 Full Review Arrow: Season 1, Episode 23 (2013) EDIT “In twenty-three episodes, Arrow has improved by a significantly wide margin.” – We Got This Covered Jul 27, 2018 Full Review Arrow: Season 1, Episode 9 (2012) EDIT “The mechanics of the plot still aren't airtight, and many of the characters are still too loosely written...but when they're a part of a ride this brainlessly enjoyable, it's hard to take too much offense.” – We Got This Covered Jul 27, 2018 Full Review Arrow: Season 1, Episode 22 (2013) EDIT “The tonal shift is made pretty apparent from the title alone, "Darkness on the Edge of Town," but the bleakness is overwhelmingly obvious by episode's end.” – We Got This Covered Jul 27, 2018 Full Review Arrow: Season 1, Episode 16 (2013) EDIT “The exciting 30-odd minutes sandwiched between this week's abrupt bookends make the argument that Arrow's split personalities can both be equally strong, so long as they keep their distance from one another.” – We Got This Covered Jul 27, 2018 Full Review Arrow: Season 1, Episode 7 (2012) EDIT “It was fun all the same to see Gotham's most vicious vigilante come to Starling City, and to see a descendant from Birds of Prey...actually getting some viewers for a change.” – We Got This Covered Jul 27, 2018 Full Review Arrow: Season 1, Episode 15 (2013) EDIT “This week's episode, "Dodger," was the one where Smoak not only blew past my curmudgeonly reservations, but made a case for her being the most vital missing piece in Arrow's puzzle.” – We Got This Covered Jul 27, 2018 Full Review Arrow: Season 1, Episode 1 (2012) EDIT “If the CW has proven anything, it's that just because a show is shallow, doesn't mean it can't be efficient and fun too.” – We Got This Covered Jul 27, 2018 Full Review Silicon Valley: Season 3 (2016) 100% 8/10 EDIT “Silicon Valley Season 3 features the same entertainingly indecent set of players, but their game is getting to be as unpredictable as it is funny.” – We Got This Covered Apr 19, 2016 Full Review
