Every Arrowverse series finale ranked from worst to best

2. Arrow

For a show that had its ups and downs, Arrow really knocked it out of the park with its final season. It's quite funny that a show that was at its best when it kept things simple managed to regain its former glory with its most ambitious season, but that's because its complex Crisis On Infinite Earths-driven plot allowed it to constrain each episode with a particular storyline. It dropped the serialized format and became episodic, which oddly worked in its favor.

Its series finale is another example of that, as the show focused solely on the aftermath of Oliver's sacrifice in the Crisis. With that, familiar faces from the past, and present (and yes, future) all showed up to pay tribute to their beloved Emerald Archer who had, quite literally, saved the world (along with the multiverse). Almost all of the show's former characters returned, having been brought back from the dead by Oliver himself, and a new crime-free future awaited Star City.

Of course, no series finale would be complete without the man himself, so we had one more flashback arc, taking us back to Oliver's early days as The Hood in a previously unseen mission that allowed us to see him in action one more time. It was a beautiful moment - second only to the reveal of the Green Arrow monument in Star City; a tribute to Arrow's unforgettable legacy.

Even though the series finale is one of Arrow season 8's weaker episodes, it's still a perfect send-off to the show that allows its long-suffering protagonist, its hero, to find some peace, knowing that he had saved this city (and, again, the multiverse). You can't get more satisfying than that.
