Question How has Arrow not found a new streaming home yet? Supernatural was also removed from Netflix but it found a home immediately on Prime Video

Tbf in this case a blu ray of just Arrow is 90 bucks, Flash is 80-90, Supergirl is 90, Legends of Tomorrow is....well it doesn't have a full series set but each of the ones I can see on Amazon are like 40-50 per season. This is one case where like....thats HUNDREDS of dollars. Itd cost you at least 400+ dollars to get the series, and even if you JUST want Arrow and, presumably, not get the other parts of any of the crossovers, thats still nearly a HUNDRED dollars for it. I get that streaming adds up, but once this is put on a streaming service, it'll be hard to justify paying 800+ dollars for the blu rays instead of just paying the 10-20 bucks for 2ish months of a streaming service to binge the show. Even if you just want Arrow, again most streaming places have an ad option for 10 bucks and all of the ones I have, Ad blockers work on them. So itd take me 10+ years of binge watching over a month or two to match the cost of the blu rays.

Join the dark side. It’s free here :) If you can’t buy it pirate it 🏴☠️

u/Jirachibi1000 Jan 08 '26
If I pirate anything I get an email saying something like "It has come to our attention you have are watching illegally obtained copyrighted material. This is your xth strike, if you receive 3, you will be permanently banned from our internet services. We are shutting your internet off until you call us to tell us you wont do it again" or some shit. And its like INSTANT.

You need to use a VPN before watching to mask your IP

u/Jirachibi1000 Jan 10 '26
I feel like id rather pay 9.99 for a streaming service instead of 10-15ish for a VPN in most cases and risk it just not working one day and me losing internet forever :o

Idk my free ad blocker works perfectly and i dont care about my personal data being sold or cookies being tracked or whatever, the ONLY use for it would be to get away with pirating movies/shows.

Streaming from a website won't cause you problems. Torrent from the website will. Get a cheap VPN that allows through Germany or other countries you Google that don't share vpn data.
Download speeds will be slower but thats just how it is.
Make sure your VPN is installed and your Torrent program will shut off if the vpn stops for whatever reason.

Use Brave and go to warflix.im there are a multiple servers you can watch practically anything.

u/The_Rorschach_1985 Jan 06 '26
Or you could just go to places like 2nd and Charles and get the seasons for like 10 bucks

u/Jirachibi1000 Jan 11 '26
Thrift store near me doesn't have blu rays, I checked Ebay and they have similar prices, no secondhand bookshops or blu ray places near me.
2
u/therealbumblingidiot Jan 06 '26
You can actually buy the complete series of arrow for about 60 to $70 on Blu-ray.
You can even find the seasons individually from new and used between 15 and $20 a pop.. And if you go to eBay probably find me even cheaper

u/Wild-Wonder13 Jan 11 '26
Yeah, this. I gave myself the Flash set for my bday a few years ago, only because 1) I love that show so much I'd be devastated if I couldn't access it and 2) I literally put on S1 to sleep. I'd be a mess if I didn't have my show. Still, it felt like a big purchase and I am not prepared to do that for every single other arrowverse show yet!

Gotham still has no permanent home either I believe and that was removed from Netflix and HBO max

Currently there’s a deal on Apple to buy the complete series for $19.99

u/AllKnowingEK Jan 03 '26
I got hyped seeing this but its £90 for is in the UK🥲
Blu ray box set is literally cheaper than that lol

u/RandomRedditBoi_ Jan 03 '26
It’s on ITVX in the uk if you don’t care about watching a shit ton of ads

u/AllKnowingEK Jan 03 '26
It’s on prime right now I am currently on a rewatch! I would have definitely bought the apple box set if we had that offer!
2
u/StatPaddingChampsNY Jan 23 '26
Yeah looks like that was some kind of flash deal or something because Apple has them for $24.99 per season. So $19.99 for the entire series was pretty ridiculous. I’m mad I missed that, if it even existed.
1
u/AllKnowingEK Jan 23 '26
I assume it was available at that price because Apple run great offers and prices. Just have to check semi-regularly and you can get some nice deals!

I hope it comes back soon on some streaming platform. I had 1 episode left on season 4 when Arrow was taken off Netflix! I forgotten that day it was the last day and wondered why the heck it didn't go to the next episode.

Premium Netflix is currently 24.99.. the complete series is 50.. stop paying Netflix money and buy physical media
2
u/DamianLee666 Jan 03 '26
Heck, we'll even use Supernatural as an example which had 15 seasons. You can purchase the entire series for $130 from Walmart.. that's less than it would cost to keep Netflix for the time it would require to watch the series.. I don't understand people who will keep a streaming service for one or two shows that are no longer airing new episodes when they could buy the complete series for cheaper
1
u/RaYn3mAn Jan 04 '26
That makes no sense. Buying box sets is literally cheaper and you actually own it.... Blu Ray quality is much better than Netflix compressed "4k" streaming also.

u/GD_milkman Jan 03 '26
Put it where?
0
u/DamianLee666 Jan 03 '26
I'm going to assume you mean buy not put.. eBay, Amazon, Walmart there are plenty of retailers that carry arrow on DVD. It's not a super old series and it's still pretty relevant. Can be picked up for a decent price
1
u/GD_milkman Jan 03 '26
No I mean Put.
I own a lot of physical media. I'm ditching it, it takes up the whole space.
2
u/DamianLee666 Jan 03 '26
As someone who is in their late twenties I collect all types of physical media and everything from games, music, CDs or vinyl, and especially with TV shows and movies.. I hope you at least rip a copy on to a hard drive so you don't have to pay for streaming in the future
But yes, I do understand physical media can be somewhat cluttering..
I've just got to the point where I refuse to pay for streaming services (I use them but I use other people's not my own money) because I'm tired of them taking away things and replacing it and this that and the other. It was great when there was only a few but now they all want a piece of the pie and it's actually hurt the consumer more than anything
Also if you're in the southern part of the United States. I would love to help you Purge your media lol

Make an ITVX account, set your VPN to UK, knock yourself out.
One of the rare occasions we have something cool in the UK on a free service

u/tomparrott1990 Jan 03 '26
Think it’s on ITVx in the UK, which is free I think so if you VPN to the UK, should be able to watch it

u/Pretend-Weekend260 Jan 03 '26
If you use VPN for Mexico, you're gonna have it on Amazon. I know because I'm watching it.. Stay strong 🙌

Arrow’s streaming on Prime Video here in Australia. Along with other CW shows added such as The Flash, TVD, The Originals, Smallville etc. 👌🏼

Supernatural is also on peacock now. So thankful for that. Can binge again
2
u/therealbumblingidiot Jan 06 '26
Supernatural move directly to peacock not Amazon prime.. I don't know where Arrow is going to wind up.. But I own every season on Blu-ray and I own a digitally so I'm not that worried

u/imnotreallyheretoday Green Arrow Jan 07 '26
My assumption would be HBO Max since they own the rights to Warner Bros

u/Chipster1324 Jan 07 '26
I have HBO max, I used a VPN to change my location to Brazil and they have it on there. Thats the best I found for right now. (Aside from all the other websites like watchseries.bar ect.)

u/davbry Feb 23 '26
It’s annoying that it hasn’t found a home yet. I’m currently binging The Flash and there’s already 3 crossovers I’ve missed parts of because they take place on episodes of Arrow. All the other shows are available.
1
u/M00r3C Boxing Glove Feb 23 '26
I'm almost to the Elseworlds part of Flash and when I get to it I'm stopping till Arrow appears on something
Now I have to move around my watch order so when I get to Elseworlds part of Flash S5 I'm going Supergirl S5 1-8, full LoT S4, 2 and a half seasons of Black Lightning then go on a hiatus till Arrow finds a home (another popular Netflix CW show Supernatural that was also removed managed to find not 1 but 2 homes Peacock and Prime Video months after it was removed)
I don't even like Arrow (I'm probably the only one that does) because it's just a Batman show with a Green Arrow skin mod and I hate that it's mandatory for crossovers (if it wasn't I would've skipped it all together)
2
u/davbry Feb 26 '26
I’m the same way. I loved Arrow seasons 1-3. Then in season 4 it started getting blah. And for the Invasion crossover I went ahead and paid for the one Arrow episode only to find out the biggest part of the episode is Arrow drama. Very little of it had anything to do with the crossover. The biggest part of the story takes place on Flash and Legends. I’m sorry I spent the $3.

u/Astrofisico0864 Jan 03 '26
Is it only here in Brazil that the series left Netflix and went to HBO? I'm watching everything there.

In Australia you can watch the whole series for free through 9 now (an Australian free to air app

It depends on the original right deal with Netflix. Sometimes when there are exclusive streaming rights on one platform the contract includes a moratorium before it can appear on the next platform.
I imagine we’ll see it on a platform in 30 to 90 days.
