Black Lightning | Season 2


Four episodes in, it's time for a break for the second season (this year alone) for Black Lightning. After debuting on The CW back in January for it's first 13 episode season, a bigger 16 episode season two is currently airing week to week on Netflix down under.

Dropping a bit in the live ratings and not being part of the Arrowverse means no crossovers with Supergirl, the Flash and Arrow but the show picks up viewers on the DVR and no doubt internationally this show is a bit of a sleeper comic book hit.

As the new show aired at the tale end of the 2017-2018 season it was a quick turnaround to get Black Lightning back on air.



Returning to the US next week (Australia the week after) Black Lightning embarks on a two part The Book of Blood episode arc.

The show has thus far been a critical success again and Tobias Whale continues to cause terror to the Pierce family.

The show is an easy in the background non connected series which not only tackles crime and superhero stuff but political issues and issues America is facing in real time.

Black Lightning is mostly refreshing and we are lucky to have it airing here on Netflix alongside CW stable Riverdale as well.

Next up from The CW I need to give All American a go...
