Just finished season two! Man I like this show. There are certainly some CWy things that bring it down
1) Felicity almost exclusively wears designer dresses that are super tight fitting and with super short skirts which is weird considering what she actually does day to day.
2) The constant love triangles of ollie with Sara, laurel and then whoever the hell else they can get on the show.
3) Laurel could actually be a really good character who is strong in her own right. I mean she knows self defense, right? When the copy cat hoods killed the current mayor she took one of them down if even temporarily. I mean she's not on Ollie or Sara or even Diggle's level but she's got the basics. But even ignoring that she's a prosecuting attorney! She has legal smarts that the rest of the team doesn't have. She could bring a side of realism to the show by reminding them that the bad guys still have to be caught by the police or something or why they can't move on the big bad because they don't have the evidence or something.
4) Ollie just needs to come out and tell someone everything that happened on the island. I mean we constantly get scenes that basically play out as
Diggle: Ollie we need to do this thing!
Ollie: We can't do that thing!
Felicity: Why can't we bang I mean do that thing?!
Ollie: Because of something that happened on the island!
Phil: <sigh> can't we get another Deadshot episode?
No, but seriously I think this is a great show. I hate because I love. It's like when Lee Adama kept kinda switching sides in BSG. It was super annoying but hell if I wasn't going to watch because of a few dumb things.
