I'm watching Arrow, an oldish stream series from around 2014.
It's a challenge. There are 170+ episodes!
I've watched about 30!
Arrow is short for Green Arrow, the DC version of Hawkeye. As a big DC fan I like their heroes' origin stories and Arrow is giving me more detail than I can shake a fletch at.
For some reason I've always been drawn to archers. Robin Hood, the Black Arrow, Hawkeye and so on.
The are some interesting characters who are famous in their own right in the show too.
The Flash makes a brief appearance from Central City in his non-flashy form, Barry Allen. He probably re-appears again later, but he does start his own mega TV series around this time too, another 180 episoder!
Ra's Al Gul sends various assassins to Star City including Oliver Queen's/ Green Arrow's love interest (at least for now), one Black Canary.
The Suicide Squad pop up too at the behest of Amanda Waller, who has also been tracking the new super-villainbin town, Slade Wilson aka Deathstroke, an evil super-soldier in the vein of Marvel's Cap, only, well, evil.
I've so many episodes to go it's untrue. I'm staggered they can make these mammoth TV serials pay. Watching 2 episodes per night it's going to take me about 75 nights!
Blimey!
Now where's my quiver!
Anyone else seen/ seeing the Arrow?

The Missus and I are in a similar quandry with Once Upon a Time. Seven seasons of dense plotting and flashbacks. We try to watch an episode a night (or so) but if we leave it too long, we forget the previous subtleties.
ReplyDeleteWe used to bemoan the 1960's episodic storytelling. Now we get long form dramas that insist you pay attention!
I watched all for four seasons of For All Mankind and am excited the fifth season of this alternate reality space race story has just been released....
Don't know either of those series Looey,b they sound interesting. I'll look in about .... Six months! Ha ha
