"The Undertaking"...begins to pay off on some of the season's longest arcs. Go to Full Review Alasdair Wilkins AV Club 07/20/2018
A-
[Oliver has] come a long way in five years, and, as "The Undertaking" emphatically proves, Arrow has come a long way in 21 episodes. Go to Full Review Sam Woolf We Got This Covered 07/27/2018
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. Go to Full Review Carissa Pavlica TV Fanatic 07/26/2018
4.5/5
We finally got the full picture of everything that has gone into "The Undertaking" and how long it has been in development. Go to Full Review Nick Setchfield SFX Magazine 07/26/2018
4/5
No flashbacks to Wig Island this week. Instead we're treated to some much needed backstory on Robert Queen's involvement with Malcolm Merlyn and the Starling City cabal targeted by The List. Go to Full Review Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant 07/25/2018
'The Undertaking' isn't merely about Malcolm's plan, it's also about the events that led Oliver to become the man he is today. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
