Man this was an insanely good first episode. I hope they keep it up. It's a bit early to say, but I honestly hope they keep Black Lightning as a separate earth and out of crossovers, because it seems to have a different and better tone than the other superhero shows.

Man this show so far is amazing. It's just so much better than the other superhero shows.
I like Peter Gambi ( the tailor) and I also doesn't think we really need a backstory for why he has a Batcave and super hacking skills, but I'm sure we are going to get it. For me, it's enough that he has known Jefferson Pierce since he was 12 and helped him after his father died.
If anyone on the other hand wants to be spoiled a bit, James Ramer dropped som teasers about his characters background in an interview https://www.cbr.com/black-lightning-james-remar-gambi-interview/

Gambi: I'm pretty sure I saw somewhere that his deal is that he used to make costumes for supervillains before coming around to help Black Lightning.

he did in the comic books, but I'm not sure if they are going to use that in the tv-show. Based on the interview I posted, it seems like they are giving him a slightly different backstory, but who knows :)
