Now that Arrow is on prime, I decided to give it a go once more. Probably one of my favorite shows from the DCU. Been about a year or so since I watched it last.
Im literally only on episode 2. And I have to say, the way Stephen Amell plays Oliver's PTSD is so real and raw. He's stiff and rigid, especially when discussing the island. Its more than just not wanting to expose that he's "the hood guy". You could feel the visceral tension when Thea walked in on him as he was putting on his shirt.
The flashback scenes while he was describing what happened during his court thing to be brought back from the dead. Or when Laurel asked him if Sarah suffered, and you see Sara get sucked out of the boat. You can tell Oliver is trying hard to push those memories back.
Anyway, I just wanted to praise Stephen on his rather real performance of PTSD
