Arrow is a brand new TV show about DC hero (Green) Arrow, in real life Olvier Queen. I recently watched the first three episodes and I'm definitely hooked. I don't know much about the superhero universe, least of all "lesser" beings like Green Arrow, but I really like how he's portrayed in this series.
Every episode contains flashbacks to Olvier's 5 year period on a deserted island, where he had to run and fight for his life, picking up his amazing archery skills, among other qualities.
