Just started watching this show after Netflix recommended it, all caught up to the latest episode.
The script is pretty damn awful at times, there's so many one liners and then dramatic walk aways that it's almost too cheesy at times. But with that said the show is damn awesome. Really looking forward to S2 with the addition of the "real" Speedy, Black Canary, Flash, etc. Seems like they're starting to flesh out the super hero theme and maybe in this season they wont refer to "the island" 15 times an episode. Yes, it fucked changed you, we get it, jesus christ.
Hopefully other studios see how ridiculously popular this and SHIELD are and start making a legit super hero show. TALKING TO YOU HBO.
