    Honestly, the first episode that I really liked.

    Arrow Season 1 Episode 3

    Review : This episode is the second episode of this season. Talking about this episode, it must be said that there is a lot of action in this episode. This episode is built entirely on action, which I as a viewer liked quite a bit. I'm curious enough to watch the next episode.

    Acting : Good Enough

    Directing : Good Enough

    Story : Good

    Screenplay : Good

    Dialogue : Good

    Background Score : Good Enough

    Soundtrack : Existence not found

    Cinematography : Good Enough

    Editing : Good

    Set : Good Enough

    Location : Good Enough

    Sound Recording : Good

    Lighting : Good

    Vfx : Good Enough

    Overall Ratings : Nine out of ten.

    When I review episodes, that review is based entirely on my own personal ideas. Seeing the episodes of any season of any series, I think I write it in the review. I know, maybe in my reviews I often write something bad, like the writers didn't write the story well or the director didn't do well or the actors-actresses over-acted. But I don't use foul language or profanity in my reviews. If I unknowingly hurt someone in my review or if someone feels bad after reading my review, then I sincerely apologize to him.

    I thank you for reading my review so patiently.

    Lone Gunmen shot the right amount of great bullets

    Lone Gunmen proved to be another great episode especially for a third episode in the first season. Seriously, this show does have the potential to be even better than I realize. My only quibble is that some parts of the story felt a bit too similar ( which I'm not gonna spoil), but everything else is great.

    The writing continues to be strong, the characters continue to get even more interesting as their relationships still being engaging, the action sequences are well done, the music score is solid, the new villain Deadshot is great as did the actor's portrayal of said character. Looks like this episode shot the right amount of great bullets. So overall, another great episode. :)

    Lone Gunmen delivers a thrilling and emotionally grounded episode, bringing fan-favorite DC character Deadshot (Floyd Lawton) back into the mix. The tension between Oliver and Diggle deepens as their moral codes clash, especially over how to handle Lawton. The episode smartly explores Diggle's personal vendetta, giving him more depth and a sense of purpose beyond just being Oliver's partner.

    The action is tight and satisfying, especially the sniper-versus-archer showdown that keeps you on edge. There's also strong character work, solid pacing, and meaningful stakes-everything that made Season 1 of Arrow such a strong superhero origin story.

      Oliver Queen: I'm having some trouble with my computer and they told me that you were the person to come and see. I was at my coffee shop surfing the web and I spilt a latte on it.

      Felicity Smoak: Really?

      Oliver Queen: Yeah.

      Felicity Smoak: 'Cause these look like bullet holes.

      Oliver Queen: My coffee shop is in a bad neighborhood.
