I wonder if they will also cure Roy or if they will allow him to mature into being the Red Arrow sidekick but with some superpowers. Go to Full Review Alasdair Wilkins AV Club 07/31/2018
B-
Arrow just isn't able to tell this particular chapter of the story as artfully as it has elsewhere. Go to Full Review Nick Setchfield SFX Magazine 02/07/2019
3.5/5
The rest of the episode never quite recaptures this dynamism and thrust but then it doesn't want to. It's a chance for a breather after last week's full-throttle blinder. Go to Full Review Noel Kirkpatrick TV.com 02/07/2019
Season 2 is looking decidedly more ambitious, with essentially a six-episode arc to wrap up the season. Go to Full Review Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant 08/07/2018
It's a busy episode to be sure, and while all the beats didn't necessarily strike the right tone, it still managed to work in several great action sequences. Go to Full Review Kevin Fitzpatrick ScreenCrush 08/07/2018
"The Man Under the Hood" still manages to incorporate some strong (if relatively brief) fight sequences, though much of the episode's function serves to clarify a few loose ends, and sprinkle about revelations to inform the ultimate endgame. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
