Keep Your Enemies Closer

Let’s face it: Diggle’s stories have never been that interesting. Whether it was his silly relationship with his brother’s dead wife, or his anger towards Deadshot that only creeped up a couple times a year, Arrow’s often struggled to make what happens to Diggle feel important in any way, shape or form. That being said, “Keep Your Enemies Closer” is an entertaining little side adventure into John Diggle’s life, even if it really doesn’t solve any of the larger problems with the construction of his character. At the very least, “Keep Your Enemies Closer” is another entertaining, world-building episode of Arrow, albeit one that suffers a little obviously from padding its relationships with unnecessary drama.
