I am quite curious how Season 8 will look like. And if they will continue with future Arrow.

I think it is quite impressive how far they came since the first season. They did some amazing things but the last seasons had some stuff that seemed forced. Ricardo Diaz was interesting but he had not personal fued with Oliver and this made him less interesting than Merlyn and Slade. Emiko had that personal connection but she got rushed and her ending made little sense to me. There were also some seams in Oliver his relation with his parents. He got inspired by his father to help others be better. Moira sacrificed herself for Thea and was on her way to become mayor and make up for her past sins. However all that got tainted by Oliver blaming them for not helping Emiko, Robert for having abandoned her and her mother and Moira for keeping it silent. In a way Emiko looks like Isabel Rochev who also got turned down by Robert. Oliver knew about this but he did not forgave his father for Emiko while he did for Isabel.
