I give it a 7.5 / 10. It was significantly better than last season but a few things still bugged me.

The Good:  Flashbacks significantly improved, Prometheus was an excellent villain, the recruits story was very well done, Thea, Quentin and Diggle generally more involved than last season where they all basically felt negelected, I also like how they went outside their comfort zone by bringing Multiverse into it with Earth-2 Laurel and still used magic in the case of Ragman. I like how it also went back to basics in the case of vigilantes vs gangsters like Tobias Church and Derek Sampson and even brought back some classic villains like Cupid, China White and freaking Deathstroke!

The Bad: Olicity is getting tiring and Felicity is well overdue her death, I didn't like the Helix story, I'm not seeing the point of Dinah Drake's character espeically since last week hinted more towards the Earth-2 Laurel redemption idea and Curtis has been getting on my nerves these last few weeks.
