Finished watching Arrow. 
The acting, action, tone, not great but above par.  What truly drags it down is the writing, so horrible. It's dialogue, cleche plot, and unwillingness to take chances are cringe worthy. 
Common, do something interesting here, don't try this Batman wannabe act. 
The only part that got interesting is when he kills a guy with his hands, and I'm like "not afraid to kill, cool", and he then goes on to wound every one else with arrows. The bar for television has been risen, but this is some hack work. Still a chance they could find their voice, but it better be right quick.

Overall, Lame.
