Arrow: 10 Most Disappointing Episodes Ever

10. Season 7 Episode 14: Brothers And Sisters

Whilst being very uneven, Season 7 had some exciting ideas. Seeing Oliver Queen in prison with everyone he's ever put in there is completely unnerving. This new status quo is accompanied by some of the most visceral fight choreography, and some compelling character beats. Unfortunately, where this season falters, is its portrayal of Ricardo Diaz: Season 6's main villain.

In season 6, Ricardo was a dangerous and clever man, whose plan was very unique for this show. He refreshingly didn't have a vendetta against Oliver, but only wanted him out of the way so he could take over Star City. He was essentially just a normal man, but his fiery performance and clever plan elevated him significantly. Unfortunately, season 7 dumbs down his character for the worst.

His motivation has been reduced to killing Oliver and everyone he loves, and uniqueness of the character is thrown out of the window when they give him super strength. It instantly makes his character incredibly generic. The cherry on top of all this, is his final appearance in the show, 'Brothers and Sisters'. His final conflict of the show is with Felicity, which makes his important storyline devalued. His eventual death is fitting, but is rushed, and after a few more episodes, feels like a complete afterthought.
