This show started out where good sci fi series usually end -- with some hugely complicated overarching bad with really stupid plots to try and make a coherent plot. Not once, at least that I've noticed, have they actually used the power of 3 to resolve something. Instead they fight with each other while lecturing us on social issues. No lighthearted moments, no satisfying defeating an episodic baddy. This is the first show I've actually hoped would get cancelled. Plus the end of first season left them without anywhere to go except into another complicated convoluted overall plot while the sisters fight among themselves and jump up and down on their various soap boxes

I don't know any of the actual history, so can't comment on that but I was completely hooked after the first few minutes of this movie. This is one of the few movies I've seen that made me interested enough in the subject matter to want to learn more about the real Arrow. This is a very serious movie with lots of technical information but is fascinating. It is also interesting because the development of the Arrow is completely unknown to most people, even people interested in planes and aerospace. Even though it focuses on technology, the movie is a character study in how the individuals developing the plane are affected by political and management decisions they have no part of. Note to Ackroyd comedy fans, this is not a comedy and although this may be some of the best acting Ackroyd has done this is definitely not his most sympathetic character.
