Does anyone know when the next episode is on? Sky won't let me series link it and can't find it on the planner

I missed the first half. How did he become a ninja on an island?

Never really said, except for the glimpse of a man in an identical hooded costume, and a bow and arrow, and that was in the bit you saw, I presume.

Not been explained yet

My prediction for the season will be, he starts to fall back in love with his ex, who his mate also fancies but cant compete for her affections as she really like the 'arrow' so he sells the arrow out to a baddy before finding some retribution, coming to the Arrows aid and then dying

Well, looks like his sister may become his sidekick then, if she is called speedy?

I'll watch the link. I don't know anything about GA apart from when he interlopes in Batman stories. Is the show origin the same as the comic?

He was already back, I was not aware of some other archer.

It was in a flashback, when he got shot by an arrow towards the end of the show. That might be episode 2... Can't remember

I wish series like this would make things believable. Hope this isn't a spoiler - How you can tell someone to transfer cash to a 4 digit account number and expect the money to reach it is beyond me. I guess it would ruin the dialogue if he gave him sort codes and everything though. hehe

Still enjoyed it though!

Just finished watching Episode 2...

Thoroughly enjoyable. More character development, and a fair bit more back story.

Coming along nicely.

3rd episode is rather juicy. Good ending too.

His sister is a pain in the arse mind.

So I've watched it.
Rather good.
Might be the right touch of stupid versus real.
Bit more real if it needs a tweak.
Nice cars.

Watched E1 last night. Not convinced. A cross between Batman and Ironman.

I'm wondering how he got his tattoos and new knowledge since he was on a deserted island for 5 years.

Will watch a few more and see how it unfolds.

You learn more of that in episodes 2 & 3

Just seen E2.

The tattoos could well have been done before he got stranded, so they're pretty irrelevant.

I'm sure the flashbacks will tell the story of the island.

Enjoying it, pretty easy watching, not too cheesy at all.

Enjoyable but really, really cheesy.

And when he put the green hooded outfit on he really, really looked like a Disney Robin Hood... A bit too close to a green felt and feather cap thing going on there...

We laughed out loud at the cheesiness of it..

It's a series based on a comic superhero, on that basis, it's not cheesy.

Compared to something like Hunter, then yes it is. It needs to be treated in context, but I think I know what you mean.

Episode 5 livened it up a lot.
