There are simply too many things that do not work for this show. I don't know what this show is trying to be. Luke Cage? Gotham but less silly and over the top? Amazing Spiderman 2? xD The dialogue is often sloppy (even more than on an average CW DC show) pacing is horrible and subtlety is hard to find. As far as I can tell, this is not an intentional, dark comedic Gotham way, but in a (depending on who you ask, more) terrible way. Also the acting is of inconsistent nature, but the actors don't have much to work with anyway.
One of the few things that is working for this show is the music. I am not a hip-hop or rap fan, far from it, but even so the music was what I enjoyed most of all in the first season.
My standards for the CW DC shows are not high, they have their (big) flaws but ' Black Lightning' fails just at too many aspects and was simply a drag to get through.
