2/5
The problem was there was nothing surprising or inspired about the execution of that "attack" arc. It felt like a pile-on of elements we've already seen this season... Nothing felt truly heightened, and attempts to raise the stakes fell flat. Go to Full Review Jonathon Dornbush Entertainment Weekly 07/30/2018
Many dour notes the season hit felt at odds with Oliver's personal endeavors to provide hope. Still, the finale seems aimed at addressing that last point, of not just instilling hope again in the people of Star City but in the viewers as well. Go to Full Review Alasdair Wilkins AV Club 07/27/2018

Damien Dahrk remains a hoot to watch to the bitter end and the cast is experienced enough to make this kind of material work. Go to Full Review Sydney Bucksbaum Nerdist 08/06/2018
I can't remember a time when the team was so fractured like this... Season five is going to look a hell of a lot different, folks. Go to Full Review Erik Kain Forbes 08/03/2018
The whole thing is just so dumb... A bad finale and a bad season that felt rushed and unloved by its own creators. Go to Full Review Lisa Babick TV Fanatic 08/02/2018
