Just watched season one on Netflix. Really, really liked it. Probably the best superhero TV show I've seen. I watch almost everything on Netflix a year after it airs, but I'm considering paying Amazon for season 2 so I can watch at as it comes out.

Did any of you see the old Flash TV show from the early 90s? It was pretty good for its time. Mark Hamill played the Trickster in one episode, and did such a great job that it lead to his voicing the Joker on the Batman: TAS cartoon and then subsequent cartoons and video games. Arrow reminds me a lot of that Flash show -- obviously, Arrow's much better with 20 years of innovation to build on, but it reminds me of that Flash show in that it's giving us a surprisingly good interpretation of a second tier hero.

Interesting how over the past decade, Marvel's done so much better with movies and DC's done much better with live action TV shows. I'd say the cartoons are a push now what with Marvel's recent Avengers and Spider-Man series rivaling the Bruce Timm cartoons.
