What to Know

Critics Consensus

"State v. Queen" delivers the welcome thrills of a courtroom drama but overtly cribs too much of Nolan's The Dark Knight.

Do you want to start with how great Seth Gabel was this week? Because he was great, hitting a blend of camp and darkness that managed to feel totally organic to the show's world. I loved it. Go to Full Review Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant 08/07/2018
Despite being a bumpy, table-setting entry in what has otherwise been a fantastic second season of Arrow, the episode was bolstered by the shocking events of its final act. Go to Full Review Kevin Fitzpatrick ScreenCrush 08/07/2018

8.1/10
