I have heard Black Lightning is the most watched show on the CW right now (don't know if it only includes shows showing new eps right now) so they might be bigger than Flash at the current moment.
This is a double edge sword. On one hand, I'm super happy that such an unapologetically Black show is getting viewers and ratings. On the other hand, the bigger BL gets, the more likely it is to get tampered with by the CW higher ups. I really hope that they don't sanitize the show and strip it of all of its soul.

True indeed. Not only is this show Black Excellence, but it's family friendly. That's dope, especially with the kind of negative light that they usually shine on us.
Yea, my daughter loves it and she is 11, she's not really into the hood shyt yet but she is growing up around it and I can tell she respects that side of the show. Low key it's what separates it from other similar shows, black culture is all over this show and they give zero fukks about pushing it into the viewers faces. I love it.

You're right, Breh. I love the fact that little Black boys and girls have positive role models on tv.
When I was growing up, Black superheroes weren't on tv, and always played the sidekick role.
Also, like you said, they talk about real Black issues on this show (racism, health, politics, culture, etc.). They keep it 100 on every episode.
