When it comes to Arrow, some may have had unrealistic expectations about the show. I mean it is what it is - a CW show about superheros - enough said. I mean seriously, why would one expect more than what the show already is?
Lion said it best - if you want proper characters and an actual story to go along with that, look elsewhere.

Claudio kinda captured it:
I can tolerate Bond and Bourne films, though I wouldn't consider myself a fan. Action films involving humans is fine, because there's still part of me that can plausibly comprehend single low possibilities -- regardless if they are strung 200 times in a row like that in a film.
But take a guy in tights or who can fly around, you're taking all the worst elements of kung fu movies and multiplying by 1000 on the ridiculous charade scale. Just like movies about fairies and elves. What's worse is that superhero shows take fairies and elves, and then dress them up like the Easter Bunny as if that wasn't bad enough.

spot on, amigo.Hey, I like some science fiction fantasy now and then.
I think the problem now is that what used to be the movie macho Humphrey Bogart of the 40s was socially replaced by the macho cowboy of 60s television, then the macho cop of 70s television, then the action heroes of Scwarzenegger and Bruce Willis in the 80s, etc. And today the only macho male role model figures left anymore are the ridiculous caricatures of comic book heroes, who are basically gross exaggerations of all the similar model male figures/characters that came before them.
