Black Lightning

Overview

CW and Greg Berlanti expand the footprint of their DC Comics universe with this exploration of the intersection between family life and being a superhero. As a younger man, Jefferson Pierce donned the suit of a vigilante and protected the streets of his city, but he believed he'd left those days in the past. He learns that life doesn't always work out as planned when his daughter, Jennifer -- a star student who is determined to achieve justice at any cost -- gets recruited by a street gang. In order to protect his family, Jefferson sees no choice but to once again become Black Lightning.

My thoughts

Black lightning does a great job of staying on a consistent story line without a bunch of random stuff showing up out of nowhere. The only exception to this is when there is a crossover episode. I love the family dynamic and how different but similar each character is. Once again, the show also touches on important topics in everyday life.

Rating 3.5/5
