List of episodes

The fourth season of the American television series Arrow premiered on the CW on October 7, 2015 consisting of a total of 23 episodes. The series is based on the DC Comics character Green Arrow, a costumed crime-fighter created by Mort Weisinger and George Papp, and follows billionaire vigilante Oliver Queen in his quest to protect Star City. The showrunners for this season were Marc Guggenheim and Wendy Mericle.

The series follows Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell), billionaire playboy of Starling City, who spends five years shipwrecked on a mysterious island. In the fourth season, Oliver becomes the Green Arrow as he and his team fight the terrorist H.I.V.E. led Damien Darhk (Neal McDonough). During the season Oliver runs for mayor of Starling City(now renamed Star City); Diggle discovers that his brother Andy is affiliated with H.I.V.E.; Thea assists Oliver under the alias "Speedy"; Felicity struggles to balance her position as CEO of Palmer Technologies with her vigilante activities; and Laurel attempts to resurrect Sara in the Lazarus Pit.

The series was renewed for its fourth season on January 11, 2015, and began filming in Vancouver, British Columbia in July 2015. The first half of the season received a positive critical response, with second half being received more negatively. The season averaged 2.9 million viewers each week. The fourth season included the second annual crossover with spin-off series The Flash, which served as an introduction to spin-off series Legends of Tomorrow. It also featured the first live-action appearance of Megalyn Echikunwoke as Vixen, from the eponymous animated web series, as well as an appearance by Matt Ryan reprising his role as John Constantine from the NBC series Constantine. It was released on DVD and Blu-ray on August 30, 2016.

Arrowverse tie-ins

In May 2015, Amell revealed he had had discussions with DC Entertainment to portray Oliver Queen on Constantine because its title character, John Constantine is an expert on the Lazarus Pit, a concept used on Arrow.[39] In August 2015, it was confirmed that Constantine star Matt Ryan would appear on Arrow in the fourth season episode "Haunted", per a "one-time-only-deal" that would involve his character being "brought in to deal with the fallout of the resurrection of Sara Lance (Caity Lotz) via Ra's al Ghul's Lazarus Pit."[40][41][42] Due to Arrow and Constantine sharing the same studio, the producers of Arrow were also able to acquire Ryan's original outfits. John Badham, who was a director on Constantine, directed "Haunted".[41] On filming the episode, Guggenheim stated it felt like the production team was "doing a Constantine/Arrow crossover, and it's so exciting... we're just really glad we got the chance to extend Matt Ryan's run as Constantine by at least one more hour of television. I think you'll see he fits very neatly into our universe. It never feels forced, it feels right."[43]

Season four includes the second annual crossover with The Flash: "Heroes Join Forces",[44][45][46] which also serves as the setup for Legends of Tomorrow.[47] The season also saw the live-action debut of Vixen with, Megalyn Echikunwoke reprising her role from the animated web series of the same name.[48][49]

Critical response

The season premier earned positive reviews, with Jesse Schedeen of IGN giving it 8.5, stating "Arrow is showing every sign of addressing the flaws that bogged down Season 3",[50] and Morgan Jeffery of Digital Spy describing the series as "back on form".[51]

However, the response to the season as a whole was more critical. Whilst overall Alasdair Wilkins of The A.V. Club considered the season finale to be a "perfectly decent end to a perfectly decent season", and that season four addressed some of the weaknesses of previous seasons, in particular in terms of a strong villain presence in Neil McDonough he also noted that "This season was a step in the right direction, but a proper return to past glory still feels awfully far away."[52]

Entertainment Weekly's Jonathon Dornbush summarised the season as "one that at times hinted at the promise of the show’s glory days but often was almost as at odds with itself as Oliver is with himself." Overall, he criticised the lack of focus in the flashbacks, a failure to build up Dahrk's plans and motivations consistently and the lack of hope in a season where Oliver was attempting to give hope to others.[53]

Reviewing the season as a whole for IGN Jesse Schedeen noted that "The fourth season made some significant strides, but ultimately failed to address the show's fundamental problem ". He praised the addition of McDonough as Dhark, as well as guest appearances including Matt Ryan as John Constantine which helped seat the show within a wider DC Universe. He noted how the season suffered at times in its first half from having to lay the groundwork for spin-off Legends of Tomorrow. Whilst he praised the work of directors Lexi Alexander and James Bamford, as well as actress Emily Bett Rickards and felt the first half of the season built well, overall he felt that the season was failed in the second half by a feeling that "the writers were merely spinning their wheels before ushering in the final battle against HIVE". He was particularly critical of the narrative structure of the flashback sequences and the way in which many of the season's major plot lines ended where "the payoff didn't do justice to the setup." Giving the season a 6.6, he concluded "Arrow's fourth season had plenty of great episodes but ultimately failed to come together as a satisfying whole."[54]

Ratings

The fourth season averaged 2.90 million viewers across the 23 episodes and ranked 145th among television show viewership.[55]
