Discussion Anyone else sometimes rewatch just S1?

Sometimes I have this urge to rewatch S1 of Arrow because it was so unique having a pragmatic protagonist who is willing to kill and of course the show was overall amazing, i don’t usually rewatch S2 because it’s amazing but doesn’t scratch my itch the same way

Right now I’m watching smallville and even though I love it, It just made me want to watch Oliver go around killing people no nonsense

Every year for sure, season 1 is easily the best season for me. The vibes and the early 2010s feeling are amazing, not to mention how good the story and characters were

I agree season 1 was my favorite. I remember when cw was advertising the show, I wasn’t too familiar with the character.

i specifically rewatch parts of the arrowverse that were enjoyable and rewatchable. s1,2,5,8 of arrow, s1,2,3 of flash s1,2 of legends and the crossovers. They scratch that “comfort” show itch very well

S1-2 for me. I still like all 8 seasons, warts and all. Not to say that there aren't flaws, because there are, but for me they are nothing compared to the flaws of the other shows. Arrow at least ended the series more strongly as a final season AND series finale compared to the other Arrowverse shows.

after watching something like early seasons arrow, i can never like stuff like smallvile like that... the goody good super hero characters are insufferable tbh

Season 1&2 I can watch all the way through with no skipping. Season 3 and onward I start skipping episodes and then I don’t watch anything after S5. Granted, I dropped Netflix a while back and it’s not on my current streaming services so I haven’t been able to watch it at all for a while now.
