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.
I caught it last night...I have mixed feelings.
I found the main character more appealing in his civilian identity as a high school principal. Black Lightning himself was kinda boring actually.
The fight scenes were very uninspired, and his powers just aren't that impressive. He's like a bargain basement Electro.

Will catch it on demand.
I was going to check it out anyway but it sounds appealing that it isn't similar to the other CW shows.

I forgot about it too. honestly, since it isn't part of the rest of the Arrowverse I am passing on it. I barely can keep up with the shows I already like to watch without adding another
Saw it and really enjoyed it. As a teacher for two decades, I think I was most impressed with/pleased by the fact it looked and felt like a real school (having seen so many poorly created schools in TV shows over the years), but it was a good episode and launched the series impressively.

Wanted: Legends of the West (Empire & Excel) and other western historically-based figures. Send me an offer.
Also interested in figures based on literary characters.
I hate the CW, with the exception of Legends of Tomorrow (which I stopped watching anyway)...never got into Arrow, I hate most of the Flash characters, and Supergirl is plain dumb.
I might watch one episode...it cannot be possible be worse than Supergirl.
If it is available on Hulu I plan to check it out.
I was SO ****ed that they killed off Laurel in season 4 of Arrow that I stopped watching it. I really loved the first few Arrow and Flash seasons, maybe they need a change up in writers to add some fresh blood into storylines.
I watch Supergirl knowing that it is cheesy, which I think kinda works when you are telling a Superman story. I loved Lois and Clark despite how silly it was. And my daughters will watch Supergirl, so I highly encourage almost anything DC in the house (BVS not allowed. I seriously let my 14 yr old watch Deadpool but not BVS) :P
