Top 10 Returning Fall TV Shows You Should Be Watching
By I. A. Melton
10. Arrow (The CW)
Premiere Date: OCTOBER 8th
Season 4 of Arrow fell into the classic trap of trying to do too much in one season. Fans of the show were pumped season four was going to feature Damian Darhk as the villain for the season. The season started great but after coming back from the mid-season break, the storyline began to drag along.
What did work for Season 4 was Oliver finding a job that was not connected to his night time activities. Fans of the show were genuinely interested in how Oliver would serve as Mayor of Star City and if he could balance it with his vigilante life. It showed a lot of character growth for our frat-boy turned vigilante. The addition of Echo Kellem as Curtis Holt or Mr. Terrific as been a breath of fresh air. He is not only funny but can be in a situation with any of the other characters and it still works. John Constantine was one of the best guest stars Arrow has ever had. He was true to his character but still brought so much humor to the episode. I hope Arrow can get Constantine to show up at least once a season.
Season 5 is shaping up to be everything fans have asked for since season three. We are finally going to find out how Oliver became part of the Bratva Russian Mob and what he did to survive. This will be the season to launch a million more fanfictions. We also need to find out what happened to Diggle and Thea when they left Star City after Darhk was defeated. The story has so much potential to be the best fall TV shows of 2016. Let us hope Arrow show runners do not repeat the same mistakes of last season.
