a5c7b9f00b A crusading school principal gets back into actionthe original African-American electrical superhero. Jefferson Pierce is a man wrestling with a secret. As the father of two daughters and principal of a charter high school that also servesa safe haven for young people in a New Orleans neighborhood overrun by gang violence, he is a hero to his community. Nine years ago, Pierce was a hero of a different sort. Gifted with the superhuman power to harness and control electricity, he used those powers to keep his hometown streets safethe masked vigilante Black Lightning. However, after too many nights with his life on the line, and seeing the effects of the damage and loss that his alter ego was inflicting on his family, he left his Super Hero days behind and settled into being a principal and a dad. Choosing to help his city without using his superpowers, he watched his daughters Anissa and Jennifer grow into strong young women, even though his marriage to their mother, Lynn, suffered. Almost a decade later, Pierce's crime-fighting days are long behind him…or so he thought. But with crime and corruption spreading like wildfire, and those he cares about in the crosshairs of the menacing local gang The One Hundred, Black Lightning returns - to save not only his family, but also the soul of his community. I think all the actors a splendid it hits home for a show it's not just a superhero show it's a man trying to weigh doing the right thing while parenting his daughters and keeping this family together. Trying to rekindle with his wife while trying to keep the city he loves together. Uncovering secrets along the way they all do a great job with adversity and having things thrown at them Genuinely so bad that I can't stop watching it. All the cliches of blacksploitation era productions like Shaft that were satirised in Black Dynamite are back hereif it's something novel. It's actually shamefully addictive and has an evil albino villain who belongs in an Austin Powers movie. Watch it- it's so terrible you won't be able to look away!
