What to Know

Critics Consensus

Arrow ratchets up the twists in a jaunty hour that elides the pitfalls of Oliver Queen's persistent brooding with a slam-bang pace.

5/5
There's a running joke that no one stays dead for long on Arrow. Even Felicity makes a sarcastic quip about it in this week's excellent episode, "Unchained." But that doesn't mean when a character who hasn't died suddenly returns, it's any less shocking. Go to Full Review Jonathon Dornbush Entertainment Weekly 07/30/2018
A nice jolt of energy to the show as it enters its middle stretch, as well as some insurance that the major change to Felicity's mobility will not be sidelining her in the storytelling of the episodes to come. Go to Full Review Alasdair Wilkins AV Club 07/27/2018

"Unchained" is a grand cavalcade of returning guest stars... Tonight's episode acknowledges Roy's odd position and makes surprisingly strong use of it. Go to Full Review Sydney Bucksbaum Nerdist 08/04/2018
It had everything: epic returns (Nyssa! Roy!), shocking revelations (Felicity's father!), and it even set up a civil war within the League of Assassins. "Unchained" was off the chain! Go to Full Review Esther Inglis-Arkell io9.com 08/03/2018
The latest episode logistically, emotionally, and narratively made not one single lick of sense... until the very end... Well-played, Arrow, my old friend. Well-played indeed. Go to Full Review Erik Kain Forbes 08/02/2018
A very strong episode. It's cool to see Felicity get her groove back. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
