This was a solid episode and really moved Slade and Oliver's story ahead at full steam. I had hoped we would see them really fight, but this was almost better, seeing Slade slowly take Oliver's life apart Go to Full Review

A-
"Deathstroke" peels back several key layers of Slade Wilson's plan to destroy the life of Oliver Queen, and the scale of his plot boggles the imagination. Go to Full Review

4.5/5

"Deathstroke" hopefully set the stage for Arrow to hurtle itself through its final five episodes of Season 2 in an exciting fashion. Go to Full Review

9.7/10
"Deathstroke" is a taut, sharply written installment that hits all the right buttons and leaves the viewer slack-jawed in shock. Go to Full Review
