Black Lightning

I tried to power through the first season but could't do it. It is literally unwatchable. Plot, cast, writing, music and almost everything else is a complete mess. In other words the usual CW filler - trash series.

I liked the show for the first season and part of the second,but the writers are not so good,people who get killed are constantly brought back to life(typical CW nonsense) and the characters constantly make bad decisions,stupid even. The youngest daughter is the guiltiest of this annoying habit and she keeps getting worse.

Terrible acting, mess of a story.

Give me Luke Cage anyday.

Being that only one episode has aired so far I'm not going to automatically say this show is destined to fail as I have high hopes for Black Lightning in a universe of predominantly Caucasian super hero's. I will say the first episode somewhat screamed victimization of African American's as though it was trying to compare the imaginary town to Chicago. I'm hoping this is somewhat toned down over the season because the first ep just kinda felt like a bit too much treating it as though the culmination of victimization and gang violence hitting home being the breaking point for Black Lightning giving him reason to adorn his mantle again. Had this been spread out over a few eps, I think maybe it would have been depicted better. Though I'm sure we will see him deal with the struggles of deciding to suit up again over the season I hope CW kinda slowly rolls his character out rather than just trying to force this part of the DC universe down our throats so they can align him with the rest of DC gang ie. Arrow, Flash, Legends and Supergirl.

Bad acting, weird fighting scenes, the main caracter is a well known principal at a high school and all he wear is a litte mask and then nobody recognize him. There are so many good series out there, dont waste time on this crap.
