Oh totally. I think the writing has more room to improve. There are a lot of teamwork and friendship themed platitudes that get tossed around too cheesily, but it's a very likable show. Gustin's Barry Allen is a distinctively nice guy who tries to do the right thing. He doesn't feel like any other superhero that's been portrayed in the media before.
This gave me yet another reason to start watching Arrow, but I can't make the jump. I still don't like going from Chili-making, swashbuckling, liberal Ollie Queen to grim and gritty "THE ARROW" who lives in "Starling City". I know I should check my prejudices at the door and just give it a sot, but it's tough.
