Was really disappointed this wasnt a spin off of smallville with Justin Hartley and so decided not to watch Arrow when it comes out. However, the addition of John Barrowman has meant that i will now give this show a chance. It took until the 4th episode of alphas to get me hooked but i feel this show must hook me from the start for their to be a chance of me watching the 2nd episode. This is unusual for me as i normally give shows a chance for a few weeks before i decide their fate.
