"Broken Dolls" sinks its teeth into creepier material, making the pivot toward darkness and intimacy worth the tonal risk.

Well, the folks behind Arrow are really picking up the comic book themes... I am glad the conflict between Laura and Arrow seems to be coming around and Lance is now pretty firmly on Arrow's side too. Go to Full Review Alasdair Wilkins AV Club 07/30/2018

There are a few too many storytelling compromises here to consider "Broken Dolls" anything more than a mild success. Go to Full Review Noel Kirkpatrick TV.com 02/07/2019
I'm intrigued by the way Arrow seems to be positioning her as a defender of women ("She's targeting criminals." "Misogynist criminals"), and the potential gender politics that will open up for the show as a result. Go to Full Review Nick Setchfield SFX Magazine 02/07/2019
3.5/5
The series clearly wants to debate the ethics of taking a life in the name of justice, whether from a vigilante's perspective or the court's. It's knotty, meaty material for a superhero show. Go to Full Review Richard Church What Culture 02/07/2019
Dollmaker fit right in the world of Arrow, making the show feel much darker in both tone and atmosphere. Much of the episode took place in darkness, heightening the creepiness of the story. Go to Full Review Kevin Fitzpatrick ScreenCrush 08/03/2018
It was apparent even from the smaller scenes with Oliver and Slade that a significant budget had been allotted for the hour...allowing "Broken Dolls" an unexpectedly adventurous feel to accompany its significant reveals. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
