I'll take Agents of SHIELD over Arrow any day.
The HELL you say???!!!

I like Agents of SHIELD but Arrow is by far the better show.

I've never watched Arrow but I'd sure hope so.

SHIELD is becoming increasingly more difficult to watch.

Arrow really follows the Nolan Batman format. Dark and serious but with just the right amount of low key humor.

I'll look into it at some point. I am so far behind on shows.

I've been watching Breaking Bad this month and I'm just starting season three. I have to admit, I don't like the show much. None of the characters are appealing to me, and I'm not sympathetic towards any of them, at all. It's pretty disgusting and I don't relate, at all (unlike The
Sopranos, for example).

The only reason I'm watching at this point is the zeitgeist.

Yeah, I could not get into Breaking Bad either. I have to actually LIKE the characters to enjoy a show.

Arrow just showed up on Netflix last month so hopefully it will stay there for a while so you can check it out.

Yeah, I'm just hanging on by a thread. I have to force myself to watch it.

I'll probably keep Netflix through the holiday season because the kids are out of school, but I'll probably get rid of it in January. Hopefully, I'll have the energy to watch Arrow.

I've been procrastinating with BB for almost an hour now.

Dark yes, but the acting is so wooden it just seems cheesy. The assistant is the only one with any humor, and while I like the attempts and the jokes, they just don't seem to be delivered very well. I liked season 1, but season 2 has been a bit of a letdown for me. It just seems to take itself too seriously. There is no way in hell I would equate the execution of Arrow's darker theme to the execution by Nolan.

No ****ing way. The content matter definitely is, but the execution just seems amateurish.

SHIELD on the other hand, doesn't take itself so seriously, which means neither do I. It has a bit of a muted Chuck flair, and I loved that show. To be honest, the acting in this show hasn't been the greatest either (Ward sucks), but there are enough other characters that we're not so focused on a main character that doesn't seem to have any emotion beyond brooding.

I guess you could say I like SHIELD better because my expectations are being met. It's a lighthearted comic book style, which really isn't that hard to pull off. Arrow is disappointing to me, because my expectations are higher. A darker, more epic theme just needs better execution to pull off or it seems forced. The SHIELD lends itself towards a serialized cartoony style story, whereas Arrow seems to be trying too hard for a an epic story telling.
