More generally, "Keep Your Enemies Closer" is governed by logic that seems alien to the typical Arrow episode. Go to Full Review Nick Setchfield SFX Magazine 02/07/2019
3.5/5
The plotting could be a little tighter - Deadshot and Dig have an uneasy truce but it feels like we're missing opportunities to see the storytelling screws tighten even further. Go to Full Review Richard Church What Culture 02/07/2019

'Keep Your Enemies Closer' only has me more excited for where this show is headed. Go to Full Review Noel Kirkpatrick TV.com 02/07/2019
