8 TV Shows So Bad They Should Be Cancelled
4. Arrow
Oh, Arrow...how the mighty have fallen. Okay, so maybe using the word "mighty" to describe The CW's Arrow is inaccurate to begin with, but when it first started out, the show wasn't bad. In fact, as one of the earliest attempts to bring superheroes to the small screen, it was pretty compelling.
Stephen Amell's performance as Oliver Queen was engaging, and a sense of mystery kept everything ticking along nicely. After a couple seasons, however, things began to go downhill fast, and it's only gotten worse since. The character of Oliver is no longer very likable; his sense of humour has practically vanished. Now he's bitter and po-faced, like a character from the DC Cinematic Universe.
His relationship with Felicity, too, is a disaster - she's become an unbelievably grating character, receiving more screen time than Green Arrow despite many of her scenes being superfluous to the plot (why all those flashbacks to her college days?).
Arrow has run its course. It was an interesting experiment, but it's time to wrap it up and move on.
