"Arrow" season 4 release date is a few days from now. Many have faith the show will improve after a much-maligned third season.
Some television critics were given the chance to see the pilot ahead of "Arrow" season 4 release date on Oct. 7. One of whom is Entertainment Weekly's Natalie Abrams who seems to be all pumped up for the CW superhero show.
"There's great comedy to be had with how Felicity handles domesticity, but my favorite moment is when Diggle makes a very divisive decision that will certainly come back to haunt him. All told, the premiere has several great twists at the end that set up what is likely to be a very compelling fourth season," she wrote when a fan asked for an "Arrow" season 4 scoop.
The fourth season of "Arrow" will pick up just a few months after where it left off in the third season. Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) and Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards) has to cut short their 'honeymoon' after their friends from Starling City asked for their help.
The city is facing a new threat in Damie Darhk (Neal McDonough) who executive producers say is the Prince of Darkness and is more ruthless than season three villain Ra's al Ghul (Matt Nable). He is the reason why Diggle, Thea, and Laurel, the vigilantes left in the city, urges Oliver to return.
"[Oliver] left the city in very good hands," EP Marc Guggenheim told Entertainment Weekly in July.
"He entrusted Laurel, Diggle and Thea to mind the fort. Damien represents a threat that three heroes are not enough to combat. When we've written the villains - the big bads of the season - we always took the approach that they were heroes of their own story. They were doing the wrong thing for what they consider the right things. That's not the case with Damien. He's not nearly as moral. We wanted a villain who was pure evil because we've never really done that on the show before. That's what Damien represents. He's the prince of darkness."
