BAD. Do you hear me? Just BAD! I am a black female who tried VERY hard to like this show, but my GOD...it was even too much for me.
1 - WAY too many 'black issues' all in the first episode. The references to injustice were too many to count. I applaud a show that does delve into societal issues, but THIS was just nonstop...
2 - The acting was borderline community playhouse level. I take that back, THEY probably act better than this!
3 - I really liked the premise of the show though and enjoyed it right up to the part where Black Lightening put on that tacky ass costume. Once he got all dolled up and went to 'save the day'...the show LOST me. OMG! He was slow as Hell, the fight scenes are terribly choreographed, and again, the costume was NOT cool at all.
The whole show was just extra! I made it through the pilot episode and...that was it. I quit. Wasn't interested anymore. CW - please do better than this campy mess.
