You’ll either want to know what happened in those five years, or your attention will be caught into the present story line that shows what the actions of the Arrow will become of his destiny. Take a shot, even if the genres listed aren’t your thing, it’s still intriguing to watch. Although, a little warning, the show can show a lot of violence, so it isn’t recommended to your 10-year-old or younger sibling, or anyone who is around that age to be exact.
