The seventh season of this dark action show that launched the CW network's interconnected DC superhero universe begins with Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell), the spoiled rich kid turned vigilante hero Green Arrow, incarcerated in a maximum security prison filled with criminals he sent there. Oliver revealed his secret identity at the end of season six and his wife Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) and son William (Jack Moore) have gone into hiding for protection from assassins. Not to worry—Oliver is out of prison after a handful of episodes and back in action as a deputized member of the police, along with fellow heroes, as they battle Oliver's vengeful half-sister Emiko (Sea Shimooka) and the terrorist group Ninth Circle. Where previous seasons included flashbacks to Oliver's life before becoming Arrow, this season flashes forward 20 years as the grown children of Oliver and Felicity, and members of Team Arrow, band together to protect Star City with heroes-in-hiding Roy Harper (Colton Haynes), Dinah Drake—aka Black Canary (Juliana Harkavy), and Felicity. Also featured here is the multi-episode epic "Elseworlds" (with crossover episodes on Supergirl and The Flash included here). Arrow is still the darkest of the CW superhero shows, but this season also charts the redemption of the evil Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy) as she transforms from villain to hero. Compiling all 22 episodes from the 2018-19 seventh season, extras include behind-the-scenes featurettes, deleted scenes, and a gag reel. A strong optional purchase. (S. Axmaker)
