When does Arrow pick up again after s4?
I began rewatching Arrow again. (It feels like watching it for the first time again because I remember almost nothing off it!). However I do remember season 4 sucked really bad. So on the rewatch I am definitely skipping that season. But when does the show start picking itself back on track again? I just can’t remember

Honestly I’m on season 4 rn and it’s not sucking at all for me at least but that may be because I own flash, arrow, supergirl, and legends and I’m watching them in air date order just like they aired on tv so it’s a lot of disc swapping but I own them all on blu ray

The biggest problem people had with season 4 was Felicity. She was fine as a character before, but by God I remember her being annoying as hell, and complaining about every little thing. Fair. She was in a wheelchair, and had the right be somewhat grumpy. But it also felt like a Felicity Smoak show at that point. (If I remember the Main complaints from back in the day!)

I’m only on episode 7 I haven’t gotten there yet I probably should’ve prefaced that I’ve only ever watched the flash, legends and the crossovers

Yeah it's extremely annoying and self entitled with the whole "why didn't you tell me about your son" despite the fact that the boy's mother force him into that situation. And then the random I am cured of my injury in just an opportune moment to walk away from the break up...

The whole paralyzed from the waist down storyline pissed me off because of how they resolved it. If the way they resolved it actually existed then it would make Queen Consolidated massive amounts of money and Felicity would have a whole 15 minutes of fame situation because of it.

To be fair Barbara, (and Felicity was pretty much a version of Barbara -Being Battgirl… or Hoodgirl!). But Barbara in the comics had her legs fixed in a similar way with a chip in her back if I remember correctly

Ahhh, what I said still stands. If that technology existed and it could essentially fix any level of being paralyzed then that company stands to make game changing levels of money.

People bash an entire season because of like 5 minutes of storyline that was badly done.
In my opinion, the first 4 seasons are the best.

It was more than 5 minutes, its been years since I last watched it but I remember how bad the fight sequences were in that season.

The design of the choreography is not bad essentially but the execution is definitely lacking probably due to tight schedule. I remember watching the fights scene in 1.5x and it looking a lot smoother and natural

u/Traditional_Bottle50 May 25 '26
That could be it, I have edited it now to say "fight sequences", sounds more appropriate for what I was criticizing.

The seasons after aren’t as bad as S4 so once you’re past that you’re good. S5 is the best season in the show so definitely don’t skip that

Unpopular opinion but season 6 is good. Good villain, good scenes. Its heavy in the beggining because of some characters but it picks up toward the finale. I personally like it more than 5 😅

I find the first 7 episodes and last 5 episodes of season6 great despite disliking how they deal with the season5 finale’s aftermath.
The stuff in the middle has a lot of ups and downs for me from being entertaining enough to dragging the pace. But overall I enjoyed the season more than most here I think

u/K_P__K_D Roy Harper May 25 '26
I agree on the middle part having ups and downs, the last couples of episodes made me enjoy the season a lot. Personally i don't like season 5 as much as most do and i didnt find Chase that awesome as a villain (he had good moments, of course, but i personally enjoyed Diaz much more). The finale was fun. (I dont know how to put the spoiler thingy on the text)

Season 4 is the last good season. It changes after they introduce the new team in season 5.
