Arrow (2012)

Arrow follows billionaire playboy Oliver Queen, who returns to Starling City after being presumed dead for five years following a yacht wreck. Hardened by survival and training on a remote island, Oliver dons a hood and takes up a bow to wage a one‑man war against the corrupt powers that destroyed his city — starting with a list of names tied to his family’s past. Along the way he builds a small, loyal team: former soldier John Diggle, brilliant hacker Felicity Smoak, and reluctant allies in his family and the police, including sister Thea and detective Quentin Lance. Viewers can expect gritty, serialized storytelling that blends tense action and impressive fight choreography with detective work, political intrigue and family drama. Episodes mix present‑day vigilante missions with flashbacks that reveal how Oliver changed on the island and why he’s so driven. The show balances street‑level crime and moral ambiguity with evolving character relationships and escalating season‑long mysteries, making it as much about personal redemption and consequence as about high‑stakes arrow‑fueled action.
