What to Know

Critics Consensus

"Sins of the Father" is a sprawling entry that feels diffuse in its narrative strands, threatening to spin out of control but bolstered by the thematic through-line of fatherhood.

On a macro level, "Sins of the Father" features satisfying and shocking moments that set the remainder of the season in motion. But as they say, Malcolm Merlyn is always in the details. Go to Full Review Jonathon Dornbush Entertainment Weekly 07/30/2018
"Sins of the Father" becomes a back-and-forth of bargaining, lies, and murder until someone figures out how to put an end to it. Go to Full Review Alasdair Wilkins AV Club 07/27/2018

"Sins Of The Father" has the trappings of an event episode when really it might be a bit of table-setting... the end result is solid enough, and easily one of the best League-related episodes we've been given. Go to Full Review Constance Gibbs The Nerds of Color 04/07/2020
Roy returned this week and it was SUCH a delight. Go to Full Review Sydney Bucksbaum Nerdist 08/04/2018
Whether your father is Ra's al Ghul... or even the Green Arrow, you're going to be the one to have to pay for his sins. That's the lesson Arrow tried to teach us tonight, and it's a lesson that will stick with everyone for the rest of their lives. Go to Full Review Erik Kain Forbes 08/02/2018
All told, a very strong episode of Arrow in spite of some weird decision-making on Oliver's part. Felicity tells him he made the best out of an impossible situation, but I don't think so. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
