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.
Fight For Paradise Review: This reality show is nothing new but there are so many uncomfortable moments that will definitely give you the ick.
Brigands: The Quest For Gold Review: The Italian drama follows a group of brigands, embarking on a journey to reclaim power and some hidden gold.
Dinner with the Parents Review: It's a family comedy series following the Langers, who often turn their family dinners into a disruptively chaotic affair.
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.
