After his at best Pyrrhic victory at the end of season 1, Oliver Queen has packed up his MANPAIN and gone back to the isolated island where he spent five years of his life. But his friends aren't gong to let him wallow forever, and they drag him back Starling City to save his family's company and reclaim his hooded vigilante activities by prowling the streets and cleaning up crime once more.
Of course, there are plenty of people who aren't going to be thrilled to see either Oliver or his crime-fighting alter ego back in town. The triads, his business competitors, a shadowy conspiracy with malevolent plans for the city ... they're all keen to see one or another of his personas smashed into the mud.
Arrow season two follows up strongly from season one and builds on it narratively and thematically. I suspect that we may well get to a point where everything that happened in the five years Oliver was missing becomes utterly ludicrous (instead of only faintly so, as it is now). It also boasts a capable cast who commit to the escalating silliness with straight faces.
If superhero TV is at all your bag, this is worth your time.
