Jun 3, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… David Hogan hoganreviews.co.uk In Season 7, Arrow finally acknowledges that its female characters are worthy of their own chance to shine. Dec 13, 2018 | Full Review… Lacy Baugher Collider View All Critic Reviews (211) Audience Reviews for Arrow: Season 7 Jan 17, 2020 Really good season. Love the plot twists. Nic W Jan 14, 2020 Fun, with spectacular and well-choreographed action scenes, a great screenplay with a clever story, good direction and excellent performances by Stephen Amell, David Ramsey, Emily Bett Rickards, Echo Kellum, Rick Gonzalez, Juliana Harkavy, Colton Haynes, Kirk Acevedo, Katie Cassidy Rodgers, Sea Shimooka, Ben Lewis and Katherine McNamara, Arrow's seventh season is, in my opinion, the best season of the series so far ANDREY A Dec 19, 2019 The best season of the show after s2, therefore second best season of the show and the arrowverse, no show in the expanded universe is better. Mim T Nov 26, 2019 a different season with several twists Christian G Oct 15, 2019 Concentrate too much on relationships and the plot was forgeted. Our hope is on the Crisis. Need to fire the SupergirlLegends writers to make right Marcio A Oct 02, 2019 I liked most of this season. Oliver was great, especially during his time in prison. Diaz was incredibly boring, but his final fight with Oliver was almost worth the monotony of him. I really liked Felicity, too—finally she's back to normal! The flash forwards made most of he season for me. Katherine McNamara was phenomenal as Mia. Emiko's character alternated between disappointing and enjoyable. Hopefully season eight will be able to bring a better villain and more consistent episode quality. Sam K Sep 25, 2019 I love Season 7, great but not the best. I love the jail scenes. It was awesome David C Sep 17, 2019 Season 7 is an improvement over the previous. The series of episodes with oliver in prison were really well-done. The future flashbacks: i have mixed feelings on. For starters, mia smoak is fucking hot and a badass and well-performed by katherine mcnamara, and the world looks really cool. But, isn't this world technically a spoiler, since it's showing the fact that oliver didn't save star city (or maybe we'll learn more in season 8). Also, emiko queen was a stupid villain; becoming a serial killer over daddy issues. wtf. Overall not a bad season but not a 5-star season. Caleb R Sep 06, 2019 A boring season. "Arrow" has lost the touch. Ofir T Jul 28, 2019 A legendary Shawshank-y/Alcatraz-like superhero-in-prison arc start innovative to superhero TV – along with a masterpiece 150th-episode found-footage vigilantism documentary, correction of burdensome characters/arcs from past seasons, & intricate future-dystopian plot – despite a poorly-casted Emiko & short Longbow Hunters arc, let Arrow S7 set the stage for a spectacular final season next fall. 8.7/10. ... Review: The penultimate season. The Longbow Hunters. Emiko Queen. Dante and The Ninth Circle. Slabside Prison. Green Arrow/SuperMAX. S7 put all its cards on the table teasing some serious comic lore for its 2nd-to-last hurrah bringing the TV show that revolutionized the superhero genre back in 2012 to close. A legendary Shawshank-y/Alcatraz-like superhero-in-prison arc start innovative to superhero TV – along with a masterpiece 150th-episode found-footage vigilantism documentary, correction of burdensome characters/arcs from past seasons, & intricate future-dystopian plot – despite a poorly-casted Emiko & short Longbow Hunters arc, let Arrow S7 set the stage for a spectacular final season next fall. The Slabside Redemption, 150th-episode, & innovated superhero TV conventions. The season starts with a ballsy, unfathomable arc we never thought we'd ever see: our star superhero and main character locked behind bars. No longer Oliver Queen/Green Arrow but now Inmate 4587, this is an incredibly innovative plot choice lending for some seriously-entertaining and out-of-the-box story possibilities the writers' room clearly exploits. A brilliant, dazzling cocktail of Shawshank-y/Alcatraz/Count of Monte Cristo-like themes and homages mixed in fresh new ways under a superhero motif, with a decidedly-darker and more violent array returning Oliver to (alone) S1/2 badassness like in its opening 5-to-1 shower assassination attempt that turns wrong.. for the attackers – makes for one of the greatest arcs I've ever seen in superhero TV tens of seasons and shows in. Beyond the first 9 Slabside-set episodes (wish was given a longer arc as I'll address later), there are several other masterpiece-level episodes. The best of these, being also one of the greatest episodes in series history, is Arrow's 150th episode intricately, decidedly showing us what an Arrow movie would've been like as a found-footage vigilantism documentary complete with quick-cuts and jaw-dropping cinematic fight scenes that feel 10x-higher budget and perfect in every way (why, why, WHY WB did you not up the budget for DCTV currently blowing away the comparatively overexpensive messes of films like BvS and Suicide Squad). The season also ends on an emotionally-resonant, tear-jerking, epic finale arc rife with character development for Oliver and setting the stage for another masterfully-innovative TV finale with our main character being taken who-knows-where in the Multiverse before a teased death in this fall's finale season and ultimate superhero-crossover event: Crisis on Infinite Earths. Correction of burdensome characters/arcs from past seasons. The season also leads into the final run by cutting some of the dead weight and problematic characters it built up over the years – while also bringing back some fan favorites to the absolute JOY of its biggest fans and detractors alike. Previously-annoying characters Curtis and William are given satisfying exits, Dinah is no longer Black Canary leaving the door open for fan-favorite and meticulously-redempted Katie Cassidy's Laurel-E2/Black Siren to become the ultimate BC next season, Diggle is more nostalgically-Diggle with fleshed out-character development glimpses into his past & father, Roy/Arsenal is back, Tommy is back in visions as Oliver's conscience, and best of all: FELICITY IS BEARABLE as a much watered-down-romance version of the annoying hack-girl given more screentime than Green Arrow in previous seasons to her original awkward geekiness and light-treaded greatness pre-Olicity for a smoother time even given great character development plus an exit from the show in heartbreaking multiversic death fashion. All these amount a perfect set-up for a final season focused on the only character the show should be worried about: Oliver Queen as Amell's final run as Green Arrow, while also securing his legacy on E1 with glimpses into the future of Star City by way of its future-fractured arc and strong new characters. An intricate future-dystopian plot. Terminator/cyberpunk-like in all the best ways showing a dark distinct future where all our past seasons of vigilantism mattered little, the Star City 2049 half of the season is sublime. A wildly-twisting mystery cleverly beginning at Lian Yu for maximum nostalgia before going back to the Glades and invoking future-torn versions of Team Arrow from Dinah to Arsenal, involving screenwriting keeping us involved and interested in classic whodunnit manner, and a whole slew of incredible new characters make it easily the highlight of the season aside from the Slabside arc. Newly-added, highly-redemptive characters include grown-up versions of William – WAY better than the whiny immature version complaining his dad is Green Arrow we were given in S5/6 – and a canary-leading Zoe, but that's nothing compared to Connor Hawke and the show-stopper, screen-stealer of the whole season: Katherine McNamara's Mia Smoak. An absolutely BADASS street-fighter, slums-sleuthing outcast with fiery kick and secret agendas/baggage to solve, she is one of the best new characters ever introduced on Arrow, after Deathstroke, Merlyn, and Prometheus of course. I would be happy to see her become a future-version of Green Arrow as one of the only people (and skilled archers) who proved herself enough to don the sacred forest colors – and sincerely hope we see more of her in any capacity. Emiko Queen and The Longbow Hunters/Diaz. Flaws in Arrow S7 largely center around one (problematic) character: Emiko Queen. While she makes for a decently-interesting villain hitting Oliver at emotionally-vulnerable spots where it hurts most bringing back well-treaded psyche-breaks for him in his family's wrongdoings pre-Gambit sink and even serving as a crux for remarkable character development giving Oliver a reason to go back on his promise to Tommy of never killing again by threatening his entire family only for him to choose hope, she is WOEFULLY miscast with an *awful* actress in Sea Shimooka not even remotely deserving of the role and big bad presence. She is shaky as an actress, unemotive, and doesn't even give a believable performance of how heartbroken and messed-up someone with her kind of backstory would be – or counter Amell's always-compelling performance with any sort of might. Also, her wearing the Green Arrow costume – sacred territory – for so much of the season and even being written Mary Sue-ish to be as good an archer as Oliver was a poor choice that comes across as pandering and disrespectful to the lore when no one except Oliver (and maybe Mia by season's end since she thoroughly earned with a way more deserving/badass performance) should be wearing that suit. Beyond her, the Longbow Hunters – incredible GA villains from the comics – are given too short an arc, slabside was given *way* too short an arc (should've been 2-3x longer or whole season being easily the best part of the series), and Diaz overstays his welcome going from good villain last season to just a pain in the neck now with a comparatively wimpy exit for as good as he was last season as Richard Dragon. Overall, S7 of Arrow is a spectacular penultimate season that sets the stage for a JAW-DROPPING series finale next fall. A legendary Shawshank-y/Alcatraz-like superhero-in-prison arc start innovative to superhero TV – along with a masterpiece 150th-episode found-footage vigilantism documentary, correction of burdensome characters/arcs from past seasons, & intricate future-dystopian plot – despite a poorly-casted Emiko & short Longbow Hunters arc, this masterful build-up to the unfathomable cannot come soon enough this fall: The Death of Oliver Queen.
