Oh my, (fans face) Stephen Amell, just yum!
Arrow is based on the DC comics character Green Arrow. Oliver Queen was stranded on an island for five years after a ship wreck. He was the only survivor, although not all of them went down with the ship. The sister of his girlfriend at the time was on board for a little hanky panky with the billionaire playboy Oliver and unfortunately she didn't make it. Cue sexual drama right off the bat!
His father was apparently into some pretty nasty shit and Oliver takes it upon himself to get his city back from the scourge that has taken it over if he ever gets off the island.
Once he has been rescued, he is hell bent on getting Starling City back to rights, one shady business guy at a time. His cute bff Tommy Merlyn, played by Colin Donnell, has a love triangle thing going with Oliver's ex-girlfriend Laurel Lance played by Katie Cassidy. (Yeah, the sister to the one he was shagging on the doomed boat cruise.)
I gotta give props to this series because:
A; it's filmed in Vancouver, which is a swim across the pond from me.
B: Oliver makes bows and arrows really sexy. Even when he is chasing the bad guys, he is still pretty damn hot.
C: You don't feel like you are watching a DC Comic come to life. It actually has a great plot and is never boring, repeated crap that I've come to expect with adapts of comics.
D: Even though Oliver has a billion bucks, he is still a regular guy with problems. (Yeah a real nice guy, when he's not shooting arrows into people's knee caps!)
Hotness Meter
Ollie - 10, smokin hotness!
Tommy - 8.5 almost smokin!
Diggle - 8.5 almost smokin!
So yeah it's a good series. I'm only finishing season two as we speak and have enjoyed it so far. It's something us ladies can watch with the dude in our lives and not have to hear him yabber on about the chick drama.
