What to Know

Critics Consensus

Season two sputters with a slower paced "Crucible," but Stephen Amell's performance makes the most of the episode's thin script.

I guess I am not too surprised that Blood turned out to be a bad guy. On this show, everyone is either a hero or a villain. Go to Full Review Alasdair Wilkins AV Club 07/30/2018

When an episode as strong as "Crucible" represents your typical episode of Arrow, there remains plenty of room for optimism. Go to Full Review Noel Kirkpatrick TV.com 02/07/2019
Despite all the good thematic work, I did find "Crucible" to be a bit of a dull episode, especially after the compelling and exciting three episodes we've had before it. Go to Full Review Nick Setchfield SFX Magazine 02/07/2019
3.5/5
The reveal of Black Canary's identity has a genuine resonance, inspiring one of Stephen Amell's more emotionally engaging performances. Go to Full Review Edan Nissen What Culture 02/07/2019
This weeks episode returns to the slowish pace of the start of the second season and seemed to fail to capitalise on last week's episode. Go to Full Review Kevin Fitzpatrick ScreenCrush 08/04/2018
