The CW’s latest superhero show made an impressive debut that suggests it could be one of the new standard bearers of the genre. Right off the bat, Black Lightning ties its story into real problems that its viewers are probably all too familiar with.
The first time we see Jefferson Pierce (Cress Williams), he’s yelling at his older daughter Anissa (Nafeesa Williams) for getting involved in a violent protest. Unlike real-life Black Lives Matter activists, Anissa is not protesting police violence, but rather the failure of the police (and the community at large) to prevent the local gang known as the One Hundred from murdering and terrorizing the residents of Freeland. Perhaps the superhero known as Black Lightning could help, but he’s been missing in action for nine years now. Instead, Jefferson is living a peaceful life as the principal of Garfield High, though his electricity powers still bubble out when he’s feeling particularly angry or stressed — such as when he gets pulled over by a police officer and harassed for no reason, right in front of his daughters.
