The longest-running series in the CW network's interconnected superhero universe of DC Comics characters is still the darkest. This season opens with Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) serving as both mayor and self-appointed vigilante hero Green Arrow to the crime-ridden metropolis of Star City while also raising his son following the death of the boy's mother. The strain takes its toll and his lone-wolf impulses collide with his support team and even threaten his relationship with Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards), the woman he loves, as a new villain rises: hacker genius Cayden James (Michael Emerson), a man whose mission of vengeance imperils the entire city. But that's just the first half of the season and another threat arises when one of Cayden's criminal associates (Kirk Acevedo) takes over to build a new criminal empire—with a plan that involves putting Queen on trial and behind bars. Arrow is a series marked by internal conflict and strife and has a visual style to match, with most of the action set at night. Presenting all 23 episodes from the 2018 sixth season, extras include crossover episodes, behind-the-scenes featurettes, and a 2017 Comic-Con panel featurette. Recommended. (S. Axmaker)
