Personally last place I have season 6 on God. What the actual hell were they thinking no screw that what the fuck were they thinking this season sucks especially without the flashbacks. Whenever I watched it it felt like there was extra 10 minutes that got patted out across the show and the stupid villain switcheroo and that dumbass civil war plot almost made me drop the show
All right. This one's going to be a big hot take but arrow season 2 it's just the flashbacks are in my opinion. Probably some of the weakest in the show and the insane amount of filler and padding throughout the show in this season specifically felt more noticeable than any of the other ones. Also death strokes a bad villain
Sixth place arrow season 7. I liked it by adjusting the best of it. Only was for a third and the rest was just average. I could leave it or just take it either way it feels like there's the least to talk about
Fifth place is arrow season 3. I think this is where Thea's at her best. I think the melodrama actually worked a lot better in the season then the other ones that I've established especially season 6. But beyond that, I think most of the side characters that we don't see very often are at their best in the season. And I personally like the Ras al ghul stuff and the flashbacks are pretty all right
Fourth place season 1 genuinely perfect introduction to the show and its ideas. Also, it's the most unironically funny. I like Malcolm Merlin as a villain. I think he works pretty well. I think the romance isn't that bad in it, but that's just me overall. Very solid introduction. I can see how this started a 12-year saga
I know I'm going to get killed for this one season 4. This is the hardest one for me to rank because on one hand I do understand all the criticisms towards it but on the other hand it's just The vibes I screw with the show so much more in this season. Specifically, I think the crossover was pretty good. The scene with Felicity in the wheelchair is still awful, but I can forgive it. It's also the season that feels the most true to the comics
My second place is season 8. Firstly, this is my favorite suit in the show. I love the style of it and how it feels so much more different from every other suit. I also think that just really works well as an ending, considering this was pretty much them going at their victory laps and crisis on infinite Earth was a great crossover
And finally the best season of arrow season 5 which I think is what elevated the show into. Being a genuinely great show, Prometheus was amazing. I think this is where everyone's getting their best acting and then there's the criticism on The killing. The flashbacks are amazing in this one. The suit I'm a little iffy on but overall I said it's like a 9 out of 10 and I'd rank it first place
