After having tried to watch Arrow a few months back I thought I would give it another shot as a friend of mine keeps encouraging me to check it out again. So instead of watching just two episodes like I did before I instead watched nine. Nine episodes is a lot. Not once did I see a single bit of decent acting from Amell. He has no range what so ever, he's stiff as a board and often only has one expression. It's simply not believable when he delivers lines. Every other actor on the show is better then he is. And being completely honest, most of the characters on Hollyoaks can act better then he can.
Now, why is this show so highly rated when the lead is so damn terrible? He has the looks, and that's about it. And before people say he acts the way he does because of his "tragic past" that's bull crap. He'd still show some kind of emotion, and he should deliver lines believable/naturally. Even when he stands he looks awkward, doesn't know what to do with his arms.
So why do you guys watch it? And before people start complaining, back it up with evidence. If you think he's fantastic, show me a youtube clip of his acting ability on Arrow.
