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
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.
Really great show. Once you get past the first two episodes it becomes quite compelling. Yes, it's a teenage drama, that doesn't make it a bad show.
Don't be fooled by those comments, the show isn't as bad as they are saying, it was most likely not directed towards them. Everyone has a type of show they like, so if you aren't a fan of teenage drama this obviously won't be a show for you (duh).
Ps: if you are into teenage drama meets mystery this one is for you, the first few episodes are more of the former but it gets way better as the episodes pass. It had a the 100 and under the dome vibe.
That show just loves to mess with your head and leave you hanging there with all the questions and none of the answers, doesn't it? Brilliant.
I love that shit, omfg! Funny, dark, refreshing and always something new. 10/10 recommend!
I came into this series not having read the book/s so it was all so very new and refreshing to me. And I liked that. I fell totally in love with Anne and Green Gables. I wallowed in every rise and fall (and rise again) of emotions I experienced while watching this series.
Sometimes, we need a little touch of inspiration in the midst of a television era steeped in violence and hopeless situations. ♥
OH, but THAT ending, though~! I am going to cry if this series does not come back for a second season to resolve THAT!
SPECTACULAR!!! Spot on casting, authentic setting, faithful to the original book, wonderful acting, moving and joy filled drama. CBC on Sunday nights. I give it a 9 (superb) out of 10, only because I should probably see 2 episodes before granting it the 10 that I very much anticipate it will deserve. I feel as superlative as Anne. YAY!
Another top Spanish series. Beautiful story, which clearly shows the separation between rich and poor. While this is often smaller than we think ourselves. Also the different relationships that arise, nicely reflect how many people actually interfere with each other's lives.
Love this show! Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin are awesome together
Keep going. The first few episodes feel like the timing is off just slightly. But by the third episode, they seem to have gotten it right.
Ends on cliff hanger. Starts new ep. 5 minutes in its good. next 40 minutes its quite disappointing. Ends on cliff hanger. Repeat.
