Arrow: The Complete Fifth Season [Blu-ray]
Review by Suzanne Lanoue
9/27/17 |
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy
of the DVD I reviewed in this Blog Post. The opinions I
share are my own.
This is one of my favorite shows. Every year
it surprises the audience with new characters and huge
shocks and surprises. I love superhero shows, anyway, but
this one is really gritty and great drama. It also has some
super sexy guys in it. I just love it! This season was no
exception.
I only have two complaints about this
season. One, although Prometheus was a great villain, he
kind of made Oliver and the others look stupid. Secondly,
the one episode about guns was really hard to watch because
it was just not the type of subject a superhero show should
be discussing. No one tunes in to "Arrow" for political or
ethical discussion. Plus, they bent over backyards so
much showing "both sides" that it was worthless.
Otherwise, I loved this season, and the
season finale was fantastic. I just hope they do one day
bring back Malcolm Merlyn and that he's not really dead!
He's one of my favorites.
If you love Arrow, buy this and the previous
seasons on DVD. The features are always great, too. They
have a ton of them that are worth watching for any fan of
the show.

In Season Five, newly
appointed Mayor Oliver Queen finds himself challenged as
he fights on two fronts for the future of Star City.
With his right hand, John Diggle, back in the military
and his sister Thea adamant about hanging up her
vigilante hood as Speedy, Team Green
Arrow is down to just Oliver and Felicity – but
they’re no longer the only vigilantes in town. Green
Arrow’s public defeat of Damien
Darhk at the end of Season Four has inspired a new crop
of masked heroes to step up and defend the city, though
their painful inexperience makes them obstacles rather
than allies in the field. The arrival of a deadly new
adversary will force Oliver to confront questions about
his own legacy, both as mayor and as the Green
Arrow.
“After five strong
seasons, Arrow remains
one of the most talked-about shows on the air," said
Rosemary Markson, WBHE Senior Vice President, Television
Marketing. “The loyal fan base will enjoy the special
features, in addition to the 23 gripping episodes
following new challenges and new characters."
