UK VOD TV recap: Arrow Season 3, Episode 17 (Suicidal Tendencies)
April 3, 2015 | Matthew TurnerThis week’s episode delivers two fan-pleasing elements that were long overdue: (i) more screen-time for Diggle, and (ii) Ray finally putting the A.T.O.M. suit to good use and squaring off against The Arrow.

March 6, 2015 | Matthew TurnerThis week’s episode opens with a startling sequence of the two Canaries (Laurel and Sara) battling each other. As teasers go, it’s pretty effective… until Peter Stormare’s name crops up on the opening credits a few seconds later, causing any … Read More
