Arrow - The Complete First SeasonThe CW’s take on Oliver Queen‘s (Stephen Amell) transformation from spoiled rich boy to hero after spending five years on a (not so deserted) island proved steady after some shaky beginnings. Along with Green Arrow (who was sadly referred to as “The Hood” or simply “the vigilante”) the show’s First Season included putting its spin on several DC characters including Dinah Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy), Slade Wilson (Manu Bennett), Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards), Shado (Celina Jade), China White (Kelly Hu), Deadshot (Michael Rowe), and the dark archer Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman).

Mixing Oliver readjusting to life in Starling City with his mother (Susanna Thompson) and sister (Willa Holland), while also unleashing a deadly form of justice on the streets with the help of his hacker pal (Emily Bett Rickards) and bodyguard (David Ramsey), the First Season also included ongoing flashbacks to his time on the island.
