Is it rough on the edges?
Yes.
Is it high on teenage drama like other cw series?
Not yet.
Even that alone is saying something.
I am a sucker for Behind-the-scenes and Making-of stuff. I always watch the extras on any film I watch. This docu seemed like a natural fit for me. I can't blame it for only having two movies in it I like (never saw Dirty Dancing and always disliked Home Alone). What I do blame it for is the comedic narration. That really didn't fit well. Informational content it as good as it gets.
Supplement for season 2:
Everything I wrote about the first season holds true for the second also. Shame, because the stories itself are actually really interesting.
Patriot Act combines my favorite things: comedy, politics and statistics. Hasan speaks about important stuff all over the world. Things you didn’t even heard of yet. Patriot Act is sad and funny at the same time and you can learn A LOT. I‘m so happy I found this show, really.
unlike most of the other CW superhero shows, Black Lightning isn't overblown with soap opera type storylines. yes, there is some family drama thrown in, but that's to be expected with the main character being a family man, but it's not overdone. good first episode and if this keeps up, i think we have a winner. i also have to mention his costume, which looks awesome by the way
