Most new TV series these days have the same lame formula, not this one.
Black Lightning Episode 1 gave me chills, thrills and a realism that most TV just does not have these days. It is current, topical, political and has all the elements of a great superhero series. I was hesitant to watch it but was so glad that I did.
Teenage social media and Smartphone addiction, gangs of disaffected youth in a society that doesn't care and Police that behave as a law unto themselves, it's like real life on the screen with zero MSM rubbish. These are the serious issues affecting not just America but every 5 eyes Western nations today.
A bit heavy on the family drama but all necessary to the plotline. Really excited to see more of this however knowing The CW, this will be lucky to make it past season One, as all their good shows fail to do. The flashbacks to the past are few and only appear where needed. Clever editing, good script and decent special effects. This show deserves a 9/10
