Chris D. at Skewed and Reviewed has posted his review of the premiere of Arrow. He likes the potential of the series but was bothered by many issues with what he saw.

The Boyfriend Episodes 1-3 Review: The Japanese dating reality show follows a group of men who must forge new connection while living together.
Why did viewers find these TV boyfriends so hot when they were the literal worst?
I really liked the Arrow premiere. I tuned in just to check it out, with no intention of adding this show to my list of shows to record. It surprised me with the realistic take on violence, and the darker tone to the series. I don't know why, but I was expecting a smallville vibe, but I was pleased with it. Maybe because my expectations for the show were very low.
My big issue was that they have already covered the character and history fairly well with Smallville. To me, this was to soon to go back and retell the story. That being said, there is potential here.
It was fairly close. Rich Orphan, was trapped on an island for a time, gets home, uses his fortune to fund his alter ego.
