Arrow Season 2 review up to the 14th episode

Hy guys,

I've just posted an article reviewing Arrow's first season. I wanted to do that and also review the second season so far and tomorrow on I'll review each episode the day after they air on the CW.

What do I think of Arrow season 2 so far?

I LOVE IT. Arrow is rapidly climbing the chart of my all time favourite tv shows. The 1st episode of Arrow season 2 focused on the events that followed the destruction of the Glades. Tommy Merlin is dead and that is the motivation that pushes Oliver to make an important decision: to not kill anymore. The first half of this second season is very much affected by what happen after the earthquake.

This season, Arrow showrunners took the show to a whole new level, it's not anymore about facing a weekly villain who usually ended up dead, this season we have real villains and as a consequence also real heroes. 

John Digle doesn't have too many fights this season because other characters have been introduced. We finally have a Black Canary and although she's not the one we were expecting, I still enjoy Caity Lotz as the Black Canary. This version of the Black Canary, who turns out to be Laurel allegedly dead sister, has no superpowers
but she trained in a place called Nada Parbat which she escaped from to find out what Nyssa Al Ghul, the heir to the Demon, makes her appearance in the 13th episode of this season. Raz Al Ghul is also mentioned several times in the show but we are still awaiting his appearance, but we know he is probably busy training another DC Hero if you know who I am talking about :):).
had happened to her family after the earthquake. We therefore discover not only that Sarah is alive but she has also been training with the League of Assassins and apparently the child of Raz Al Ghul wants her back.

One thing that I absolutely love in the 5th episode entitled league of assassins was the phrase uttered by Sarah: Be Mindful of your surroundings which sounds a bit like always mind your surrounding uttered by Liam Neeson in Batman Begins.

Apart from Raz Al Ghul who I think we won't be hearing from anymore until the third season we have Brother Blood and his experiments that transform humans in superpowered beings and we found out behind him the guys who is really pulling all the strings is Slade Wilson aka Deathstroke. Even though Oliver thinks Slade died on the Island as he has said a couple of times he discovers at the end of the 14th episode that Slade is alive and well and that he is in Starling City.

Another potential group of villains has also been introduce. This group of supervillains is being assembled by Amanda Waller who is trying to put together a SQUAD if you what I mean (Suicide Squad is coming).

But enough with the villains let's move on to the heroes:

Apart from Black Canary we are also witnessing the birth of a true sidekick: Roy Harper aka Red Arrow. Roy goy injected with the mirakuru which is the drug that gives special superhuman abilities and that is why Oliver decided to take Roy under his wing and he's training Roy exactly as Shado trained him.

Furthermore,even though we haven't officially seen him in his famous Flash Costume, we've already met Bart Allen and most importantly  we got to see how he                                          acquired his superspeed powers.

The show keeps on maintaining the two storylines and it is fantastic to see the reprecaussions of what happened on the island on to the present storyline

Starting from tomorrow as I've said I will review each episode of the show.
So stay tuned and watch Arrow.
