Ranking Every 2017 Comic Book TV Show Worst To Best

20. Arrow

Arrow Oliver
The CW

On the whole, 2017 was a disappointing year for Arrow... as was 2016. And 2015.

While the CW's flagship superhero show continues to pull in audiences, Arrow's still yet to return to the heights it reached in its second season. Oliver Queen is more Batman than Green Arrow, the writers evidently wish they were making a Batman TV show too, and old arcs get recycled all the time, with new storylines meandering aimlessly on account of the show's inability to find its own identity.

Compared to other superhero series today, Arrow just feels kind of tacky. It may have launched the CW's current spate of comic book releases, but it was overtaken a longtime ago.
