What to Know

Critics Consensus

"Emerald Archer" marks the 150th installment of Arrow with all the fanfare that viewers crave, deploying a mockumentary format that succeeds in celebrating the series' rich ensemble while further developing Oliver Queen himself -- even if the episode's villain fails to impress.

Hints that Arrow's writers' room is thinking about big picture philosophical ideas surrounding heroism. Go to Full Review

C-
There's a comically disappointing villain, a ludicrous conclusion that promises nothing good for the future, one particularly aggravating subplot, the single most unnecessary Ricardo Diaz appearance yet (really saying something). Go to Full Review
Chancellor Agard Entertainment Weekly 02/05/2019
Might be my favorite episode of the season for one reason, and it's not because it was partially shot like a documentary about the Green Arrow: it featured all of the members of Team Arrow interacting with each other. Go to Full Review

"Emerald Archer" was a blast from the past that also managed to advance the overall plot. Go to Full Review

3/5
The hour does a good job of (finally) honoring Oliver Queen's sacrifices and accomplishments as the Green Arrow. I just wish it also honored the other aspects of the show that I've loved so much. Go to Full Review

9.1/10
"Emerald Archer" proved the series can venture off the beaten path when given the opportunity. This episode used the mockumentary format to good effect, even while balancing out those sequences with more traditional Arrow drama. Go to Full Review
