Burned may not have lived up to the mid-season finale Year's End, but it continues the premise/story really well. It gives some really good character development for Oliver after what happened in episode nine as he tries to get back to fighting other criminals who are trying to destroy Star City and Stephen Amell gives another solid performance.
Everything else is great too. The rest of the acting is great especially John Barrowman who continues to shine as Malcolm Merlyn even in Year's End where he gave out a worthy performance. The writing is still interesting, the pacing is even better, the action continues to be awesome, the music score from Blake Neely is still great, and the production design continues to be well-made as is the Arrow costume which compliments the dark tone really well.
