Arrow was a trailblazer that started the Arrowverse DC TV Universe back in 2012, but now the adventures of Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) has come to an end. Arrow season 8 was a major send-off for Amell; a major prologue to DC’s “Crisis on Infinite Earths” Arrowverse crossover; and also the first real springboard to what the future of the franchise will look like, post-crisis. Now DC fans who missed out can watch Arrow‘s final season on Netflix, in binge-watch format. If you stayed with the series even half the time through its run, Arrow season 8 is a worthwhile send off that you should definitely experience.
