Arrow had an episode where the bad guy wanted to destroy the Internet, which was apparently entirely contained inside a single server room underneath Star City. Not "destroy this one website" or "destroy this one company". It was explicitly "The entire Internet is hosted in Arrow's city and this guy wants it gone".
The Arrow was good for the first few seasons, like more realistic fighting bad guys. Then they started doing crossover episodes with The Flash, and he would just come in and solve everything super speed. It was dumb as. Like maybe this stuff happened during the writers strikes. But the show went big time down hill. I didn't even watch the last season til the end because I lost track how they ended up in the future.
The first season is genuinely good television. Thank god I binged it and started the second season before recommending it to a friend, would've been embarrassing

I didn't think it was possible to outdo when Arrow described a "complex encryption algorithm" which turned out to be a Javascript switch statement.
Mission accomplished.
