Oh, neat. Netflix picked up Black Lightning in the UK, now I don't have to pirate it! I enjoyed the first episode, going to stick with it now, see where it goes.

What episode is it up to in the US? We just got episode 1 yesterday.

No Decepticon in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly.

I don't think Netflix in the US gets it until the end of the season.

CW App or website. I think it's like the others in that it's current episode + previous 4. CW also doesn't require having a cable or streaming subscription to use.

I just meant the show in general. I'm wondering how many episodes behind we are.

Netflix UK likes to compete with TV networks and pick up American shows before they hit TV over here an market them as Netflix Originals. Stuff like Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Star Trek: Discovery*, The Expanse and now Black Lighting aren't on any network over here as far as I know, they went to Netflix.

I think Amazon does the same thing, too.


*Ok, DISCO isn't on TV in the US either. But same thing really

It sounds like you're only a week behind, if you had the 1st episode show up a couple of days ago.

After the first episode, I'm not sure how to feel about Black Lightning as a super-hero. He started a fight at a club where he knew his daughter was, a fight which could have resulted in bystanders getting shot. Then he attacked police officers, and wrecked their car. Are they going for an angle that he's a reckless and dangerous vigilante?

Yeah gently caress the police! For real though, it was nice to see a show not play it safe and play lip service to that all lives matter bullshit.

Gotham has Bruce Wayne being NotBatMan on it. This won't even have Clark. Someone unironically pitched the Lois and Lex Scooby Doo Mysteries and WB greenlit it.

I wonder how Black Lightning is going to top kicking rear end to the tune of Billy Paul's "Am I Black Enough For You" tonight.
