What to Know

Critics Consensus

Arrow returns with aplomb, promising that the series can deftly navigate a more aspirational tonal shift and the introduction of more fantastical elements.

Alan Sepinwall HitFix 08/02/2018
You can feel the show, like Oliver himself, making a concerted effort to be less brooding and have a bit more fun, just as you can also see that the show is struggling to stick to that just as much as Oliver. Go to Full Review Jenny Raftery New York Magazine/Vulture 07/30/2018
4/5
In his role as Darhk, Neal McDonough manages to bring fun to an "evil" role without that fun making his character seem harmless. Go to Full Review Jonathon Dornbush Entertainment Weekly 07/30/2018
It is absolutely wonderful to see Emily Bett Rickards smiling so often during this episode. After a dark season for Felicity, she deserves to be actually happy about things. Go to Full Review Ja-Quan Greene Black Nerd Problems 08/06/2018
Fun episode filled with a lot of suspense and surprises. Didn't blow anyone away with the action, but Oliver finally donning his official Green Arrow costume was more than enough to earn this episode plenty of high praise. Go to Full Review Sydney Bucksbaum Nerdist 08/04/2018
Well, raise your hand if you were absolutely floored by the new Oliver Queen on Arrow! Go to Full Review Jeffrey Lyles Lyles' Movie Files 08/03/2018
8.5/10
Despite the awkward re-introduction of Arrow back to crimefighting in Star City, the rest of the episode was strong, quickly establishing the season's main threat... and the major tease that this season will have some major consequences for Team Arrow. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
