What's shocking about "Prochnost," and indeed most of this season is this: Everyone's shockingly emotionally healthy.

B+

The show's sense of history and constant grappling with Oliver's past actions is one of its hallmarks, and that feeling is even stronger in the final season, which is indeed hitting all of the greatest hits. This was strongly felt in tonight's episode.

4.7/5

An ode to Arrow Season 5, arguably one of the best seasons of the beloved show, ["Prochnost"] was filled with tears, shockers, and fighting -- and not just the physical kind.

4/5

"Prochnost" smartly used Anatoly to dig into Laurel's morality and her continual journey toward the heroic, one that has been surprisingly fulfilling, even as it's been characterized by more fits and starts than the path of others.
