What to Know

Critics Consensus

"Suicide Squad" ambitiously covers more DC Universe continuity while allotting welcome screen time to an underutilized David Ramsey as Diggle.

As for this episode, the Suicide Squad was a bit of a letdown. I hope the show is able to do more with Deadshot and perhaps Bronze Tiger in the future, but this first foray into an important part of the DC mythology fell flat. Go to Full Review Alasdair Wilkins AV Club 07/31/2018

"Suicide Squad" is an important reminder of why Team Arrow needs Diggle, and it doesn't just make that point by showing how capable he is in the field. Go to Full Review Noel Kirkpatrick TV.com 02/07/2019
I rather enjoyed "Suicide Squad." It was a very low-key episode for Arrow, not too busy at all, with only two plots to its name. Go to Full Review Kevin Fitzpatrick ScreenCrush 08/03/2018
Overall, the action itself proved a bit ineffective...though the "Suicide Squad"s intrinsic patchwork more than covered for a few shaky bits. Go to Full Review Mark Rozeman Paste Magazine 08/03/2018
8.9/10
As a whole "Suicide Squad" highlights what Arrow does best-fun, yet pathos-heavy action, playful banter and giving great character beats to its ever-growing roster of colorful characters. Go to Full Review Jesse Schedeen IGN Movies 08/02/2018

Regardless, it was a great vehicle for Diggle, once again proving how underutilized Ollie's right-hand-man is on this show. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
