Aside from the big bad of the season going from 'ominous powerful' to 'goofy caricature' in the last two episodes, this was good. The older veteran hero thing was sold well, though there was some visual dissonance with actors that looked his age (or older!) supposedly being his FORMER students. Just kinda odd to see.
There were certain parts that made me feel that this was a show that really wants to be a netflix show, but has to play it soft for tv. I recall this was originally set for Fox tv, but got picked up by CW. That would explain the slightly darker themes, though it's not particularly more violent than Arrow S1.
On the universe tip, clever dialogue has left enough room for this show to eventually merge into the Arrowverse.
