The 70s called, they want their "blackploitation" back...

Unlike most of the other CW superhero shows, Black Lightning is complete garbage. Who ever wrote this trash should quit. WAY to many 'black issues' that wasn't written even slightly in a way that would make anyone "care". I applaud shows that do delve into these social issues, but this was just awful. The writer should just quit while he is ahead. I don't know how this trash has been on air for 3 seasons. Don't even get me started about the acting. That is if you could even call that acting. The show should really be scrapped and maybe try again with an entire new cast.

Wow really grasping at straws for desperation looking for a black superhero. That's what this really seems like, just like the Black Panther although I had high hopes for it. It was full of cliche's, lousy acting and a crappy story. Seems the same is happening here.

The people saying politics or the lesbian relationship is what's bringing down the show are truly ignorant; I have no words. Superhero comics, films and tv shows regularly deal with social issues... No, what makes this show bad is the writing and the over the top lifetime movie drama. They really had an opportunity to do something great with this hero. Another CW superhero show I'm going to have to drop. Shame.

What a dreadful show. So sad for this entire Arrowverse that is mediocre at best. How its made it three seasons is as bizarre as it's typecasting and use of constant stereotypical racism.

This show is beyond terrible. I don’t understand how this crap got renewed...let’s throw good money at bad money. This show has so much potential but it seems like the creators decided to go to a high school, find a bunch of film students, said here’s some money...make us a show. So they got together & gave us this crap. Terrible writing, horrible casting, poor acting, stupid dialogue, and bad special effects. Even worst the writers thought throwing in every black stereotype was a great idea...it’s nothing more than insulting.

By Reading These comments I'm glad Ppl see this show for garbage that it is

This TV show is simply excruciatingly boring, and crappy, even though it as some quality production. I rarely been so annoyed with melodrama stuff, bad acting, bad story, ridiculous fx/cgi. It's just bad.
