Black Lightning looks like it’s shaping up to become one of the more exciting superhero TV shows in recent memory.
Everything that we have seen from Black Lightning thus far promises a visually fantastic (but still grounded and dirty) comic book series.
Armed with the ability to control electricity, he takes to the streets to exact his brand of justice once his daughter gets mixed up with a deadly gang.
Primed as a gritty crime drama that leans into topical ideas of racial inequality and police brutality, the show follows retired DC superhero and current high school administrator Jefferson Pierce as he returns to the persona of Black Lightning after giving up the superhero identity years earlier.
