The fourth season of Arrow is so bad that its subreddit has given up and become a Daredevil subreddit.
R/Arrow, which currently has about 60,000 subscribers, started as a community to discuss the CW show Arrow based on the DC Comic. Arrow has always been kind of a campy show, but it was always just entertaining enough to keep viewers engaged.
The final episodes of season 4 were so bad, however, that fans had enough of the show — which has gone full-on soap opera — and the mods opened up a Daredevil discussion thread. Now the whole community is watching and discussing the Netflix show instead, starting at season 1, episode 1 and working their way through the two seasons.
