DC: Ranking Every Upcoming Movie & TV Show By Anticipation

8. Arrow Season 5

DC Movies TV Justice League Flash Arrow
The CW

Had Arrow managed to maintain the level of quality it displayed through Season 1 and especially Season 2, then it'd be a fair bit higher on the list. The fact that it's still so high, after such a downturn in quality, is testament to how good those years were (and my own (blind?) optimism that they can indeed turn it around.

The most exciting aspect of Season 5 is the fact that everyone involved with the show seems to have learned from their mistakes: there's less talk about Olicity, magic and mysticism is on the way out, and they're taking a back-to-basics approach with improved fight scenes and Oliver Queen cleaning up Star City.

Arrow is on the ropes after Seasons 3 and 4; the theme of this season is 'legacy', and Season 5 will go a long way to deciding what this show's is. Hopefully, they can save this TV show.

Air Date: October 5, 2016.
