"Black Lightning" (The CW)

The CW has had a good run with shows based on DC Comics properties. We also really enjoyed Cress Williams as the mayor on "Hart of Dixie." Aside from the black lead, the show shares some similarities to Netflix and Marvel's "Luke Cage" in its story of trying to leave behind the superhero life and then being pulled back in when the protagonist's community is in need of his help. What gives "Black Lightning" a point of difference is its family dynamic and the tease that his daughter may also have superpowers.
