The watch order Arrow Season 1 and Arrow Season 2:Įverything here is quite easy to follow, just go with the episode order. Of course, you can cut out a show at your own choosing. The following list is a suggested and entirely unofficial watch order for the most pleasurable viewing experience. This is the logical approach if you want to know what happens next on the show you are watching, instead of getting pulled out of the story flow by having to watch an episode of a different show first. Often there are a number of episodes connected to each other in some way, for example by cliff-hanger. You can do this by airdate, as mentioned above, but also by story arc. The most complete way to watch all the DC shows (unsurprisingly) is to simply watch all the DC shows. So this might not be the ideal viewing order if binge-watching. The only possible problem here might be that you have to go from one story arc to another. Last season The Flash aired on Tuesday, Arrowon Wednesday, and Legends Of Tomorrow on Thursday. Watching by airdateĪll the mentioned shows air weekly, so there is no problem in watching two or more shows in airdate order. To keep up, you just need to add the other shows’ crossover episodes to your chosen series. However, there may be a few instances where you might find yourself wondering who they are talking about, who that person is that everyone on the show seems to know, or what event the characters are talking about. If the broodiness of Arrowfor example, isn’t your cup of tea, you’re fine sticking with the lighter tone of The Flash. While inter-connected, each show can obviously be watched in its own right. So, how best to watch these shows? There are multiple options. After Constantinewas cancelled by NBC after just 13 episodes, the first network crossover took place, with John Constantine visiting Arrowin its fourth season on The CW.Īs you can see, it all gets a little difficult to follow. As well as being an Arrow spin-off, the two shows shared first one, then several crossover episodes. Only The Flash had a clear connection with Arrow. Unlike Marvel’s approach to film and TV, these shows were not necessarily set in the same universe and had nothing to do with DC Comics movies such as Man Of Steel.
TV and DC Comics already had a number of TV shows in the past, but after the success of Arrowother DC Comics-based series emerged in rapid succession on various networks: The Flash on The CW, Constantineon NBC, and Gothamon Fox. And with it the question: how does it all fit together? Arrowgot a third season, The Flash got his own TV show with great success, and the live action shared DC Comics universe on TV was born. In season two, we were introduced to forensic scientist Barry Allen, better known to DC Comics readers as The Flash. The series proved quite the hit for The CW, and a second season renewal inevitably followed. Arrowwas a completely new take on the DC Comics character Green Arrow, in a new universe that had nothing to do with Smallvilleor its version of Oliver Queen/Green Arrow.
