What to Know

Critics Consensus

Although its placement as a penultimate epilogue to Arrow may give fans mixed feelings, there's no denying that "Green Arrow & the Canaries" is a tantalizing backdoor pilot for a new band of distinctive rogues.

As I watched, I couldn't stop thinking about how odd it is that this is Arrow's penultimate episode. When it ended, it didn't feel like we were heading toward the series finale. Nevertheless, I still had a lot of fun watching it. Go to Full Review Allison Shoemaker AV Club Jan 22, 2020
Does "Green Arrow & The Canaries" work as an argument for the existence of Green Arrow & The Canaries, the future series? Yes. Does it work as one of the final chapters of Arrow? Also yes, though somewhat less successfully. Go to Full Review Randy Dankievitch Goomba Stomp Jan 26, 2020
There's plenty of intriguing potential here - but "Green Arrow and the Canaries" doesn't introduce any wrinkles to the well-worn Arrowverse formula, which could quickly lead any spin-off down a disappointing road of dwindling returns. Go to Full Review Jeffrey Lyles Lyles' Movie Files Jan 22, 2020

Was this enough to make me buy in to the spin-off? In a word, no. There's too much Arrow DNA in Green Arrow and the Canaries to get me excited about it Go to Full Review Jessica Mason The Mary Sue Jan 22, 2020
There's so much in the pilot that really works: the family legacy, the revamped setting, the small mysteries and the way it truly looks towards a new future. But what really clicks are the actresses and characters at the core. Go to Full Review Laura Hurley CinemaBlend Jan 22, 2020
I was objectively impressed with "Green Arrow & the Canaries" as a backdoor pilot designed to launch a spinoff, and I think that spinoff would fit in well with the post-Arrow era of the Arrow-verse, but I didn't love it as an Arrow fan. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
