The Dark Archer and Thea’s bonding with Malcolm adds even more intrigue to the complex world of Arrow.
Fans have praised the finale and the progression of Oliver’s character and his life as the vigilante. Screen Rant notes “It is no easy task for a series to essentially alter the thinking of its protagonist and then demonstrate the progression of it – in an entertaining fashion – throughout an entire season, but the Arrow writing crew managed to do just that.”
Barrowman joins an ensemble that includes Amell, Katie Cassidy, David Ramsey, Colton Haynes, Willa Holland, Paul Blackthorne and Emily Bett Rickards.
Arrow will return in the fall at 8 p.m. Wednesdays.
