So what do you want to be called?
This show promised more shirtless Stephen Amell now that Arrow is over, and it definitely delivered. I really enjoyed the first episode. The anticlimactic finish was actually surprising and really made me interested in how that plotline would play out over the next few episodes. I didn't see Jack being the one to break the narrative and piss off the fans.

I know I should care about the Spade brothers, but I’m most invested in Bobby Pin, the good ring partner and all-around nice guy.

Holy poo poo Ace. :wtc: I’m really hoping this doesn’t sideline Bobby for long, show-wise.

I think this show has a similar problem to what the later seasons of Sons of Anarchy (though certainly not to the level of that trash fire) suffered from. Every happy moment or personal win for a character is immediately cut off at the knees by a depressing turn of events. Scenes may be enjoyable, but the arc of the season has thus far been an exercise in misery.

Reviews for the second season have been pretty decent, so I'm excited to have this show back.

e: I have to imagine it's a bummer for Amell for the show to be delayed so long, then for it to finally come out, get some decent reviews, and another set of circumstances has left him unable to promote it.
