Bad acting, bad stories, bad everything. I watched the entire first season hoping things would get better, but they didn't. Trying to play off the success of Marvel's Luke Cage, black lightning falls short at every turn. It wants to be a drama, it wants to be action, it wants to be a super hero show, but it isn't any of that. It's just loud noise throwing every black social issue at you possible. I am a black man and I felt this was just too much all at once. How it has lasted 3 seasons baffles me. Maybe the cw needs to have a "black" show since every other show barely has us on it, but this shouldn't be what they go with.
You can tell how bad they even think this show is because they didn't include him in their week long crossover event until his third season (tho he didn't get an entire episode for his show) yet batwoman did in her first season. Just saying.
