Is the show good or bad? I was hesitant to watch it because I get a little tired of the constant father/daughter thing, and the lack of father/son themes on television. Is it any good?

Yeah, not enough of that to be honest. But that new Taye Diggs show All American debuted last Wednesday. The critics are trying to shit on it, but Im going to check it out for myself when I get time.

CW is viewed and treated like a cable network due to the fact that anyone in Canada or other places outside the U.S. have to pay to have the network as part of their TV watching line up.

Nevermind the fact that the popular CW shows all end up on Netflix (paid streaming service with international subscribers).

I'm watching the season 2 premiere of "Black Lightning" that aired this week......


HOLY SHIT, They used the term "House Nigger" uncensored on a The CW show!!




EDIT:

I just remembered I'm watching a pirated copy of the episode that was encoded from a digital download that came from either iTunes or Amazon Video. That would explain why the term was used uncensored. I refuse to believe they said "House Nigger" uncensored when the episode actually aired.

"Black Lightning" is a solid, good show DESPITE the annoying father/daughter thing & SJW themes. Season 1 finished strong.

Main reason I'm not into it. Its the only one that isnt coming of age and of course the black family has to deal with the fucking hood. Enough already its not our only story its boring and predictable af. Again another black hero who can't have a real love interest. Boring

I see. You mention later that they take away his power or something? I’m guessing only the daughters have powers or some sort of black matriarchy trope?

Black Lightning doesn't have a real love interest??? What about his wife?

I like this show. I haven't seen the new season yet, but I think it's incredibly positive overall.

I do get a little tired of the "hood" story lines though. You definitely have a point there. Our experience is much larger and richer than just that

Speaking of this topic, 1 of the podcasts I listen to, did a recent episode where they briefly discussed how they felt Black Lightning is basically an A-Sexual character compared to the leads on the other CW DC shows (Skip to the 12:37 mark):

This episode we talk about several things, particularly my “Straight, Single and Smashing” theory of Black (and other nonwhite) male characters in action and drama movies and shows. Then we segue into the new wave of articles involving coining catchy dating trends.

I know @The Dark King & @JamalSpunky gonna love it.



I can't really disagree with their assessment. At the very least Black Lightning should've been smashing the female Vice Principal character. It always seemed like she was trying to throw it at him.

His wife he barely touches? Please she's his wife in name only. And what's seriously missing is dude isn't shown as desirable he's just Joe Clark with lightning.
They can't show black people as vulnerable humans we're ready made adults dealing with grown up problems. No angst no discovery just this "clean up the hood" trope. Like I said fuck Black Lightning cant wait to see it cancelled.
