Arrow Overview

Arrow is an American superhero TV show based on the DC Comics character Green Arrow. The series ran for eight seasons, from 2012 to January 2020, and aired on The CW. Like other superheroes (think Batman and Iron Man), the main character, Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell), is a billionaire in real life, but a caped crusader at night. The series starts when Oliver returns to his native Sterling City after he spent five years shipwrecked on a mystical island. Back in Sterling City, the superhero fights corruption armed with bow and arrow, echoing the classic tales of Robin Hood.
