Black Lightning - Three episodes in...


I was really not sold after the first episode of the CW's latest superhero series Black Lightning, however now three episodes deep of this 13 episode debut season, I'm sold.

Different to Arrow, Legends of Tomorrow, Supergirl and The Flash, Black Lightning is political, diverse and a good lead in for Black Panther at the cinema.

Going great guns with ratings in the US, this is sure to get a second (most likely longer) second season. The CW is struggling a bit at present, Vampire Diaries is gone, The Originals is concluding and the are only left with a few series that are not DC comic series.

That said Black Lightning feels fresh, the music used is great and the solid cast do their best to bring something new to a very crowded group of DC shows.



If your a fan of your superhero shows, this will sit well on your TV schedule, however if you are over them steer clear. Critics and audiences so far are moist for this so does this spell the end for one of the CW's existing superhero dramas?
