CW first look: 'Arrow'

The only new CW show to get a leadoff 8 p.m. timeslot, on Wednesdays leading into "Supernatural," "Arrow" stars Stephen Amell in this new comicbook-adaptation as Oliver Queen, set just after he returns home from a five-year disappearance on a remote island. Looking at the clip above, you can see how Amell literally gives a strong performance.

Colin Donnell, Katie Cassidy, David Ramsey, Willa Holland, Susanna Thompson and Paul Blackthorne co-star, with Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim, Andrew Kreisberg and David Nutter exec producing.
