Just wait until season 2 and they fuck it up. It always happens with these shows.

Arrow and Legends both had better second seasons than first. Supergirl was a massive upgrade for the first half of season 2 before falling off, but even then it was basically back down to season 1 quality. The only one of these shows that got worse in it's second season is Flash, and I'd argue season 1 of Flash was the best single season of any of these shows.

It's not that hard to be better than Legends first season, that was a dumpster fire of a season but I've always been in this state of "should I continue to watch it?". I honestly don't remember much of Supergirl Season 2, I just know I'm getting to the point I wonder why I still watch it.

Was it Arrows third season where it started to nosedive? That was so long ago. I do agree The Flash season 1 is the best Arrowverse season, but Black Lightning - which surprises me cause I was first all "who the fuck is that?" and almost didn't bother watching - has potential to be as good if not better.

Yes, Arrow S3 was awful. And I dunno, sometimes I feel like Legends S2 would easily hold up better on a rewatch compared to Flash S1.

That fight was pretty good.

Wonder when Jennifer gets brought to the fold. I'm going to guess it'll be during a fight with Black Lightning and Kahlil that will trigger her powers.

Go to save your wife and end up beating up your daughter - concussion aside, I'm glad Anissa knows now and they didn't drag it out.

Damn, Gambi got all the villains on speed-dial

Tobias about to help Khalil walk again, only to hit him with the "You know your new legs come with a price!!"

I'm glad this isn't Arrow-verse. Its not an amazing show or anything but it feels fresh compared to those, and the amount of black people in here. This is unprecedented for CW right?

also best Arrow-verse season is Arrow's 5th, Prometheus da gawd. Best villain any of the cw superhero shows have had, kudos to that sorta bootleg Christian Bale thing he had going on too.

I thought the first half of season3 was pretty solid. 3 was the Ras al ghul season. I still found it to be entertaining. 4 was when it really lost me
This. I think season 3 was good. Season 2 just hit an insane high toward the end though. 3 had a great mid-season finale. It was only at the end where things went off the rails and the BS with Felicity started. Season 4 was just bad outside of Laurel of all characters and they had to ruin that at the end. Season 5 was a return to form like season 1 and 2 and the first half of 3. This season though is up and down I feel.

Her current costume is 10x better than the next one. Keep this for a bit longer, please.

this is rare for cable networking period.


I am behind on episodes but Episode 5 of Black lightning had some amazing visuals for an end episode fight.

The Flash has like 4 black regulars. None are the leads of course, but it's not bad.

Solid episode, though I can't get used to Ghost Harry (Gambi) trying to convince somebody not to kill someone.

Keep the current costume but make it Black and Gold, maybe even a little bit of White. I think it's all the funky colors making it look bad. Her current costume looks great for her body.

I agree with others that her soon to be costume is not all that impressive. It's too gaudy. So maybe tone it down a bit.

Her costume also offers no protection... It's literally just latex/spandex. Gambi gotta come through with keeping her color scheme (albeit toned down a bit) and the pattern design, but just give her a more insulated and protected body suit. And a real mask. I know we already have the pic of her in her final suit, but it's not all that great and looks so far removed from what she picked originally.

They already had promo pics of Thunder and Lightning's costumes... and the one she picked out, is NOT it. It's just a beginner vigilante suit.

Her current look is awful... they literally turning her into black Supergirl who can't fly or shoot long range attacks.

Whoever designed the suits for this show has done a terrible job. Her "real" suit looks worse that the cheap one she's wearing now.

The same people designs hero costumes for all the other shows I suspect... yes, even the ones for the Titans show

It is interesting to see that they are delving into the 'scientific' explanation of his powers. Nice to see there is an effect on his body.

At least we got a confirmation when he was screaming in pain in episode 2 that he.was using his powers to heal himself from the feedback

Should be a good sign it is coming in one way or another. They wouldn't release that otherwise. For this year, I'd be happy with another Superhero Fight Club.
