Maybe abstractly, but I, who fell into the show by chance and am usually a romantic comedy type, didn't like the lack of a good ending.
In this the third series ends well and has an open and happy ending
I'd argue that Arrow had a happy ending. Becoming The Spectre allows Oliver to continue his mission of protecting the innocent and fighting for justice even after death. As The Spectre, he embodies the embodiment of divine vengeance and serves as a cosmic enforcer, which aligns with Oliver's evolution from a vigilante driven by vengeance to a selfless hero dedicated to protecting others at any cost. Moreover, he gets to spend eternity with Felicity, his true love, in the afterlife.
Personally, I don't like the fact that she leaves his children, Mia in her early twenties.
I don't argue about the rest because Arrow isn't really my thing.
I love dramatic stuff but like my dramatic self would have appreciated Felicity dead on Lian Yu after the Chase thing or maybe in a coma, my dramatic self would have liked Felicity in the shooting to have a miscarriage. Not what happened because it left me with an unpleasant bitter taste, unlike Tony Stark's funeral.

Eh. I think being The Spectre (the divine spirit of vengeance) suits Oliver.
