May TV Finales - Black Lightning - Season Four/Series Finale

The fourth and final season of Black Lightning concluded this past week. Making it the first of two Arrowverse shows take take their final bows this TV season.

The DC Comics character Jefferson Pierce / Black Lightning, premiered on The CW back in 2018.

The final season continues to follow Jefferson, now a high school principal in his second stint as the superhero Black Lightning, as he fights against local corruption in his community of Freeland. 

Cress Williams stars as Jefferson, alongside China Anne McClain, Nafessa Williams, Marvin "Krondon" Jones III, Christine Adams, Jordan Calloway, and James Remar. 


I was mostly lost throughout the season as I lost interest in the show maybe partly though last season. Who knows, however the spin off that was once planned for Painkiller now is DOA.

The show struggled in the USA with poor overnight ratings this year, possibly leading to the spin off being canned way before it was set to take off.

I hoped for a bigger more enjoyable farewell season, but sadly it didn't really deliver. I am Supergirl really goes out with a bit more of a bang after six long seasons.

The May TV Finales have been a lot so far. There are a few more to come. 9-1-1 OG season, Mare of East Town and The Equalizer.

Stay warm this weekend Sydney and Melbourne chin up, six days to go.
