Arrow Season 7 Episode 3 - Crossing Lines - Review

 I have watched Arrow since the beginning and Overall I love this show, I must admit that it has had its highs and lows but over the six seasons I have really enjoyed Arrow. This season has done a very good job of following up from the crazy ending of season 6. 

Positives

. I really enjoy the uniqueness of Oliver's story inside Slabside prison, seeing him have to deal with enemies that he has taken down as The Green Arrow is really interesting when you consider that the shifts of power has taken place inside the prison.

. Vinnie Jones and Michael Jai White as Brick and Bronze Tiger provide good performances that make this prison storyline more interesting then I thought it would be at the beginning of the season.

. Felicity and Renne do some questionable things in this episode which I liked as it shows how Oliver in prison is affecting the different team members and causing them to do things they usually wouldn't.

Negatives

. I wasn't very conviced by the Diggle and Lyla storyline in this episode, it felt really out of place with the episode and feels like an episode that would have taken place around Season 2 or 3 and feels like a real rehash.

. So far this season Ricardo Diaz and The Longbow Hunters have been in the background of the season and I feel with a returning villain they need to use him more and reveal his motivations.

. There is no flash forwards in this episode which is disappointing as I have found it to be the most interesting part of the season. 

Overall Grade

Overall this is a pretty forgettable episode of Arrow with not much happening that I feel will affect the overall story of the season. For me this has easily been the weakest episode of the season.

Overall Grade - C
