Arrow 611 We Fall Review

Last night's Arrow showed us the best of what makes Arrow rise above the mundane of television. I  thought last week good, but his week was great. Husband, wife, and family can all work  on a show that's known for action and adventure. Emily and Stephen make  it work. Jack Moore also gave us a great performance with William.
