Finished (TV Series) - "Arrow" - Season 1



Really liked the first season of Arrow.  If you are unfamiliar, it is loosely based upon the DC character "Green Arrow".

Oliver Queen, rich kid, is stranded on a mysterious island for 5 years following a shipwreck which kills his father and girlfriend (or more specifically, his girlfriend's sister).

The island is full of mercenaries, and through many trials and tribulations, Oliver becomes trained in fighting and archery.  Eventually he returns to civilization with a mission to avenge his father's wrongs by erasing evil doers listed in a book received from his father.

The characters in the series all seem relatively strong and well developed, aside from the typical problem of this type of TV dramas where the other "secret" characters are all friends and family of the main character.

Not sure if the series has been picked up, but it was certainly worth the watching in the first season.  The season actually wraps up pretty well, assuming that it is the only season of Arrow.
