Black Lightning

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.

Genuinely so bad that I can't stop watching it. All the cliches of blacksploitation era productions like Shaft that were satirised in Black Dynamite are back here as if it's something novel. It's actually shamefully addictive and has an evil albino villain who belongs in an Austin Powers movie. Watch it- it's so terrible you won't be able to look away!

Looked interesting and I love a lot of superhero tv shows/movies but this... this is just terrible. The acting feels forced and hard to ignore, a lot of the characters are stereotypical with next to nothing unique about them.

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.

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.
